Fatigue is an acute tiredness experienced by many different people and for diverse reasons. Fatigue is not a singular condition which has a singular cause or cure. Instead, fatigue is but a symptom that can have any number of causes when experienced in isolation. It can also be one of many symptoms of some other underlying health condition.

In light of the myriad causes of fatigue, dealing with it will naturally vary from person to person and from case to case. However, this is not to say that there is not a method of dealing with fatigue. If fatigue is a symptom of some underlying condition, then you have to deal with it as you would that condition. Nevertheless, if it has a more easily identifiable single cause, then you can certainly make lifestyle and dietary changes to do something about it.

Ruling Out Underlying Causes

Soas mentioned, the first thing to do when combatting fatigue is to try to rule out any possible underlying causes. This can be difficult as it can be potentially caused a diverse set of conditions.

Fatigue can be caused by anything from diabetes to heart disease to arthritis, anemia and – at the dark end of the spectrum – even cancer. It can also be caused by any medication that you take. If you are aware of condition you suffer from, see if fatigue is one of the possible symptoms; if you take any medication, see if fatigue is one of the possible side effects. If you are still at a loss as to what is causing your fatigue, it is time to consult your doctor.

Ways of Dealing with Fatigue

Once you have ruled out any underlying conditions or medication you take as a possible cause, then the chances are a few lifestyle or nutrition changes could well sort out your fatigue. If this is the position you find yourself in, then the good news is that your fatigue can likely be successfully remedied. Very often, it takes one simple change to banish your fatigue. Here is what you can try:

Exercise

It seems counter intuitive that exercise is a remedy when you are overly tired, but the evidence that it can help cure fatigue is overwhelming. The trick is to work it into your life gradually, pushing things only a little beyond what you already do.

Hydrate

Dehydration is very often the culprit with a vast array of health conditions as it is very easy to simply forget to drink enough water. The problem can also be compounded if you drink a lot of tea or coffee. Make some changes here and you could be on the path to recovery.

Alter Yor Nutrition

Sometimes, dietary changes can be massively helpful in curing your fatigue. Aim to get fatty fish into your diet as the nutrient omega-3 is known to remedy fatigue. You may also wish to try hydrogen-enriched water. Synergy Science, the world leader in this product, list fatigue as one of the conditions that hydrogen water can help with – amonga range of others.

Try to Sleep Earlier

It’s very easy for our body clocks to settle on a rhythm of sleep which is insufficient and leads to daily fatigue. If you get less than six hours a night as things stand, then this is very likely to be the culprit. Go to bed earlier and try to get up at the same time every day.

Ultimately, fatigue can be a tricky condition when trying to put your finger on a cause. But by working through possible remedies and eliminating possible causes, you can certainly work out what is causing it.
