Monday Tip: 5 Reasons for Chronic Fatigue
Happy Monday everyone! So how many of us have been constantly feeling tired lately? But does anyone know the direct cause? Today were are going to be taking about 5 possible reasons you may be feeling fatigued and what you can do to help it!
Chronically Under Eating: This is a no-brainer. If we are not eating enough, we’ll feel like we're riding on empty and have no energy to push ourselves in a workout. Try adding a serving of carbs 30-45 minutes before your workout and see how energized you feel!
Drinking Too Much Caffeine: Don’t get me wrong, I love a good cup of coffee BUT there is such thing as too much of a good thing. Try keeping caffeine to 150-200mg (or less) and see if you feel any better.
Sleep: Constantly pushing the limits on how little sleep you can get throughout the night and still function the next day is a no-go. 7-8 hours minimum! Try turning the temperature down and making the room as dark as you can get it to help sleep quality go up.
Nutrient Deficiency: If getting all of these other things in check still isn’t doing it for you and you are still feeling fatigued, get some test run! Checking on things such as Iron, Vitamin D, and B12 levels can see if there might be a deeper cause to your chronic fatigue.
Gut health: If you are dealing with gut imbalances or dysbiosis, you’re not fully absorbing/utilizing the food you are consuming. Gutting gut health checked out is super important and could be a huge contributor to how you are feeling.
Start with the basics and work your way up from there. Chronically feeling tired is no fun, so take control and do what you can to help feel more energized throughout the day!
