What is Low Energy?
Fatigue, or a lack of energy, can be accompanied by a number of additional symptoms, including exhaustion,
listlessness and low motivation. Lack of energy is a problem for many adults, but finding ways to combat this problem
can be difficult. In many cases, people do not fully understand the root cause of their poor energy levels. For people
suffering from these negative symptoms, discovering some of the potential causes is the first step toward developing a
plan to boost energy.
Symptoms
• increased irritability
• feeling tired all the time
• tired eyes
• nervousness
• weakness in limbs
• fluctuations in blood sugar levels
Causes
• Stress is one of the major causes of lack of energy or low energy levels in men, women and children. Parental
conflicts, increased competition in every field can create stress. Men, women, children and elderly people, all are
victims of excessive stress. Stress is responsible for adrenal fatigue which affects your energy levels significantly.
• Vitamin deficiency and lack of physical activity are the main reasons of low energy levels in children. Children
waste their time sitting in front of that 'idiot box', munching chips and drinking colas. Instead, they should engage
themselves in outdoor sports, which improve blood circulation and increases the rate of metabolism. As an effect
of television commercials, children love to eat chips, burgers and pizzas. All these aggravates the situation
resulting in low energy levels.
• A number of illnesses such as thyroid problem, gall bladder problems, liver problems, diabetes, and arthritis can
result in low energy levels. Women are more likely to develop thyroid or gall bladder problems. Serious diseases
like anemia, cancer, heart diseases can lead to depleted energy levels. Excessive use of certain medications can
also result in low energy levels, for example, diuretics and antihistamines. During pregnancy and after childbirth, a
woman may experience low energy levels.
• Following a wrong diet is the main cause of low energy levels. Indigestion, heartburn, constipation and other
stomach disorders have become common problems as majority of people are including fast food, junk food,
processed food, food rich in salt (sodium), in their daily diet. As the body is filled up with toxins instead of nutrients,
you feel tired all the time, even after eating or sleeping.
• These days, men as well as women complain about feeling tired in the morning. Sleep disorders or insomnia can
suck your energy and leave you completely exhausted. But if you are complaining about low energy levels in the
morning after enjoying 8 - 9 hours sound sleep, then you need to check your thyroid levels, blood sugar levels,
blood pressure levels and the like.
• Skipping breakfast, often eating snacks on-the-go instead of proper lunch, late night dinners, change of food while
traveling, eating foods rich in fat, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, and smoking are some of the common causes of
excessive fatigue and low energy levels in men. These days, working women also are seen following unhealthy
lifestyle.
• Hormone imbalance is the main cause of low energy levels in women. Various phases such as puberty,
menstruation, pregnancy, breast feeding and menopause may lead to hormonal imbalance.
Western Medicine Treatment
• For a healthy living, you need to follow a balanced and healthy diet. Make sure that all nutrients like carbohydrates,
proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, etc. are provided to the body, in proper proportions through daily diet.
• It is necessary to opt for natural detox at home. Even drinking plenty of water or water fasting enhances the
process of throwing away of accumulated toxins out of the body. You need to drink at least 7 - 8 glasses of water
and increase your fluid intake as well. Dehydration can cause low energy levels.
• You need to avoid sodas, alcohol, drugs, and beverages containing excessive caffeine.
• You should quit smoking.
• If you are following a sedentary lifestyle, then you need to exercise regularly.
• Avoid late nights and sleep early.
• Avoid heavy food at night; never skip your breakfast or meals.
• Include lots of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet. This will improve your digestive health and also overall
health. Certain foods like bananas, dates are considered as natural energy boosters.
