Are You Tired? Do You Suffer with Fatigue? (Guest Post)

For many people, fatigue is a daily battle. Is this you? Do you find yourself constantly tired or tired just upon awakening or tired mid-afternoon or early evening? When you are tired, what do you do? Do you find yourself pouring a cup of coffee? Do you go and buy an ‘energy drink at the gas station/grocery store? Determining the ’cause’ of your fatigue is of utmost importance. So, what causes fatigue?

Fatigue can be caused from:

• excess physical exertion

• hormonal imbalances
• low blood pressure
• poor nutrition
• lack of proper sleep
• lack of adequate exercise
