Ever since childhood, most of us are taught that we should be eating 3 square meals per day, and to fill up at each one. The unfortunate reality, however, is that the 3 meals per day regimen is causing many of you out there to be way more tired than necessary and experience unnecessary tiredness throughout the day. Why is this? Most foods that we eat are metabolized, and thus all used up, within 3-4 hours of our eating them. Because the average human being is awake 16-18 hours per day, there is absolutely no way to arrange 3 meals without huge gaps that leave you without incoming fuel and energy for much longer than 4 hours. One tip that helped me was eating several smaller meals each day and spacing snacks easily, closing the gaps while eating roughly the same amount of calories will do wonders for your energy. Are you tired all the time—extremely exhausted and unable to carry on your normal daily tasks? If so, you could be suffering from a condition called chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Symptoms of CFS can last for more than 6 months. They can also last for years. CFS is further aggravated by physical or mental activity or stress and taking adequate rest does not relieve symptoms. Chronic fatigue syndrome usually begins after or during a particularly stressful event. However, in some cases, the condition can start after a viral attack or other illnesses. In some individuals, the problem can also appear gradually without an identifiable cause. Chronic fatigue syndrome affects women more often than men. However, gender is not a proven risk factor for this condition as the chances are that women are simply more likely than men, to report the condition to their doctor.It is normal to feel a lack of energy, or be tired or drowsy sometimes. But if you're tired even though you are sleeping more, exercising, eating better, and managing stress, you should consult a doctor. Get your haemoglobin level checked.
