Dealing with Fatigue

First what is fatigue?

Fatigue - To weary with labor or any bodily or mental exertion; to harass with toil; to exhaust the strength or endurance of; to tire.

(Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913))

Fatigue is something I believe most people feel or deal with on some level regularly. I know I do. There are many causes of fatigue including; lack of sleep, health conditions and even certain medications. There are a multitude of symptoms that can help us to identify whether we are suffering from the effects of fatigue; the most obvious being Weakness, lack of energy, tiredness, exhaustion. If any of these symptoms sound familiar to you then you may be suffering from fatigue but don’t worry. There are ways to cope with fatigue which can involve medications, vitamins and dietary changes. Even though there are ways of coping, the best method is prevention. Things like relaxation techniques, dietary changes, taking “me” time and exercise go along way in helping to avoid fatigue.

Girl, it's so funny you put this up because I just started to do something about this very issue. What I found out is you have to get to the root of this problem which most people tend to overlook. If our body is our temple, it needs to be clean from the inside out right? The colon, is where the nutrients are absorbed. We can be eating healthy and working out but because of years of poor eating and toxins we take in everyday, it builds up in the colon. This can eventually prohibit the absobstion of the healthy food we do try to eat. Because the colon is weighed down with "junk" we have weight issues, skin and hair issues and mental/emotional issues i.e..fatigue! Start from the beginning! Cleanse your colon! Then your body will be operating at its max potential! Check this site out! www.drnatura.com (colonix) ok...im done lol Peace!
