Why Do You Feel So Tired All the Time?
Posted: September 19, 2014
Mental fatigue and physical exhaustion are two separate conditions, but they’re very close friends. When you feel mentally or emotionally fatigued, you don’t feel like doing much of anything. That’s perfect if you also happen to be too tired.
Guys often go through spurts of high energy followed by a cycle of extreme fatigue, which is normal. After all, our primitive ancestors would go on the hunt for an extended and physically demanding period of time, followed by a relaxing return home to bring the dinner and be soothed by their families.
But what if those Neanderthal men were so exhausted they stopped going on the hunt altogether? Not only would the family not have anything to eat, but the animals would eat them instead of the other way around.
It’s not natural for a guy to feel tired all the time. If your get-up-and-go snuck out the back door while you were taking a nap, we can help you get it back.
It’s always wise to consult a doctor whenever you have a shift in your energy levels, but here are the most likely causes of your low energy:
Sleep Problems
If you’re not getting enough shut-eye, you’re looking at extreme fatigue, emotional irritability, reduced concentration, and lack of physical coordination. Drowsy driving and workplace accidents are two ways your fatigue may endanger others. The solution may be to keep your bedroom cool and dark — and your smartphone and tablet in the other room.
Lack of Proper Diet and Exercise
There is nothing better to pump up your energy than exercise, and nothing better to make you feel good than a healthy and sensible diet. Yes, exercise is a hard pill to swallow for chronic couch potatoes, but once you get started, you’ll see that regular exercise doesn’t take energy, it gives energy. As for your diet, you are what you eat; if you eat crap, you’re going to look and feel like crap. Lose the empty calories and the comfort foods if you want to recapture your glory days of youth.
Hormonal Issues
Hypogonadism is a very real – and very common – problem for many men over 40. It is caused by low testosterone levels in the body, and its symptoms include chronic fatigue, loss of muscle mass, changes in body shape, and low libido. Fortunately, there are treatment options available at at Low T Center near you. And it doesn’t take any energy at all to make an appointment.
