Fatigue and tiredness in women

If you are tired, all the time it is symptomatic that your body's  system is not working properly and there you should not ignore it.

Women often ignore such symptoms. Women are multi-taskers. They have to fulfill demands of children and run a household. They may even work for income gain.

Fatigue can cause headaches, depression, joint pain, feeling mentally or physically exhausted in the morning, food cravings, dependence on coffee or tea, short term memory loss, hair loss, binge eating and weight gain.

Fatigue is an underlying issue in the endocrine system. Stress may be one of the reasons. But this fatigue, can be reversed back. Let us see, how to restore the joy of life.

When our adrenals struggle to pump out the excess cortisol, there is an insufficient production of DHEA. Insufficient DHEA may lead to loss of muscle mass and bone density with impaired immune systems. This is more during perimenopause and after menopause.

Sleep regulates melatonin. Switch off all the lights of your room. Switch off the T.V and computers. Establish a bedtime routine for at least eight hours. Your room needs to be dark to trigger melatonin.

Take a complete blood test.  Test electrolytes, blood and protein, liver, kidney functions, heavy metals, sleep apnea and stress levels in your blood.

An underactive thyroid may cause fatigue.

Eliminating gluten, from the diet is a natural  medicine for fatigue in women. Investigate your food insensitivities. Undergo gentle detox by eating many green vegetables.

Hidden emotional stress may be one of the reason for fatigue. It may be self-criticism, anger, fear or grief.

Do not skip breakfast. Try not to eat after 7.00 p.m. Consume a multivitamin daily. Get it prescribed by your doctor. Keep your iron levels healthy. Have healthy snacks once in every four hours throughout the day.

Dehydration, stresses your system. All women, should drink at least ten glasses of water daily. Sleepiness, muscle weakness and dizziness are symptoms of dehydration. Many women, won't realize that they are dehydrated. They won't feel thirsty.

Our body needs both rest and activity. Long periods of inactivity can make you tired. Moderate physical exercise regulates your metabolism. This also tune up your circadian rhythm. This leads to rejuvenating sleep. Exercising, at least for thirty minutes daily is necessary.

Finally, listen to what your body tells. Take rest and slow down if your body is saying that.
