What Is Zapping Your Energy?
Many people I know are chronically tired. Sometimes there’s a medical diagnosis for it, but more often than not people just assume that they’re not getting enough sleep. It’s important to understand, however, that even if lack of sleep is an issue, many other factors can play into making you feel depleted or run down. The fact is, that as we age we tend to fatigue more easily, and it can take more than just extra sleep to overcome this. But there’s no reason to accept the idea that getting older means having less energy for the people and activities you enjoy.
Here are 3 “energy zappers” that most people don’t consider when battling fatigue:
1. Poor Nutrition: If your body lacks the basic building blocks it needs to produce cellular energy, your energy level will inevitably suffer. Additionally, digestion consumes an enormous amount of energy. When it’s less than efficient, your body must work harder to ensure proper digestion.
2. Stress: Lack of sleep, emotional hardships and physical pain all place an extraordinary amount of stress on the mind and body. When you are under stress for prolonged periods, your adrenal glands become depleted, and it can become difficult to get the restful sleep you need to recover from stress.
3. Distraction: Research shows that disorganization, clutter and negativity can all lead to a general lack of focus and low energy. Your energy may end up scattered among competing thoughts, rather than focused on the present moment.
