What are the causes of fatigue?

The cause of being tired and exhausted throughout the day is that some people can find the cause, but for others they can't. Some people sleep normally but when they wake up in the morning they feel not refreshed or energized. Today we will tell you the various reasons. That may cause fatigue along with how to fix it. Our bodies will then come back strong and have a bright and refreshed mood as before.

- Not enough sleep

 Getting enough quality sleep is essential to health. While sleeping, the body releases hormones that are necessary for cell growth and repair. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society recommend that adults get at least 7 hours of sleep per day. An environment that is not conducive to sleep, stress, or illness can disrupt sleep. It makes you wake up and feel not refreshed, feel sleepy and tired during the day. People who have difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep and waking up at night may suffer from insomnia.



- Stress

Prolonged stress can affect brain structure and function. The body feels tired and this can lead to stress fatigue. In our daily life, we may not be able to avoid stressful situations. We can learn how to manage stress to prevent burnout. Exercising, taking a warm bath, or meditating are effective relaxation techniques. This can reduce stress and fatigue, or you may seek counseling from a doctor to find appropriate ways to cope with stress.

- Various diseases

Feelings of fatigue and weakness can be the result of diseases such as sleep apnea, hypothyroidism, cancer, multiple sclerosis, anxiety, kidney disease, depression, diabetes, etc. When such diseases are cured, fatigue often improves and eventually disappears.

- Not eating all 5 food groups

Eating a complete diet of all 5 food groups with complete nutrients is important for important processes in the body. When the body does not receive enough calories and nutrients, fat and muscles will be used for energy. Therefore, the body needs essential nutrients such as lean protein, eggs, fish, vegetables, and fresh fruits.





- Malnutrition

Vitamin and mineral deficiency (vitamins B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12, C, D, iron and magnesium) is one of the main causes of unexplained fatigue. More than 50% of the world's population is affected by vitamin D deficiency and approximately 12.5% have iron deficiency anemia. Which is necessary for metabolism and oxygen transport will deteriorate with increasing age. Feeling tired and weak is one symptom of malnutrition.

- Consuming too much caffeine

Drinking too much coffee or other caffeinated beverages can disrupt your sleep cycle and make it difficult to fall asleep. Feeling anxious at night wake up at night and sleepy during the day. You should reduce your caffeine intake and evaluate whether you sleep better and feel more refreshed after waking up.

- Excessive weight or obesity

People who are overweight often have irregular sleep cycles and are at risk for sleep apnea. Obesity is also a cause of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes or depression. Maintaining a healthy weight helps with good sleep quality and maintains energy levels during the day to prevent fatigue.
