TOO TIRED FOR LIFE?


Sydney Harris once said “ A winner paces himself; a loser has only two speeds: hysterical and lethargic.”

In today’s fast paced lifestyle, it can be easy to run on empty. Too many things to do and not enough time. I am a firm believer in taking good supplements on a daily basis and this is crucial for our long term health and stamina.

If you find yourself fatigued on a regular basis you need to reflect on what the long term consequences can be. To operate at your optimum, you need to be refreshed and energized.

I used to run long distances on a regular basis and I found that I would get to a certain point and thought that I would have to stop because it got so difficult. I found that if I could push through I would get a second wind and go much farther than I ever anticipated.

Alertness and fatigue occur in about 90 minute cycles just like hunger does. If you are aware of this, you will realize that this is a cycle and you can get through it. Extreme fatigue can hit you after lunch or after work and this can last up to 2 hours.

You need to plan for this and not give up. Consider the following:

1. Drink plenty of water. This will help to flush out toxins.
2. Breathe deeply and sit up straight. This increases the air capacity in your lungs.
3. So some quick exercise. Push ups or a shor walk work wonders.
4. Use short naps. Remember short! 15-20 minutes.

You’ll be surprised at your energy level!
