Health

Get Back Your Zest! Brian Rochford shows us how to have more energy, by following a few simple healthy rules As we age, our levels of energy and endurance diminish, and we may find it harder to do and enjoy what we used too. Even after a full eight hours sleep, we can feel exhausted. You might even find that you experience drowsiness during the day, and even while performing normal tasks. Depression and anxiety, under-active thyroid gland, and health issues, like a heart condition, can cause sleep deprivation. There is light at the end of the tunnel, as many of the causes of tiredness and fatigue can be dealt. We all have times when we feel low in energy. However, being tired a lot of the time can make you less physically and mentally active. Fatigue can reduce the quality of your life over time. In order to hit back at tiredness, and regain your physical, mental, and emotional energy, you need start exercising on a consistent and regular basis. Aerobic exercises increase energy, while weigh-training exercises build strength, endurance and stamina. If you find out that you are unusually tired a lot of the day, it may be a warning sign of something more serious, and you should have it checked out by a medical professional. This is also sound advice if you have not been physically active for a long time. Before you start engaging in the many effective ways of boosting your energy levels, and saying goodbye to tiredness and fatigue, it is recommended to speak to a medical professional. Some of the factors that can contribute to fatigue are stress, unhealthy living, and even problems in the workplace. The food we eat can help boost our energy levels, and keep us going throughout the day. A good breakfast, consisting of whole food cereals and whole grain bread, will supply carbohydrates, that can get you off to a good start each day.
