1. A smarter and more permanent approach to beating fatigue is to determine the real
cause and start making the changes there. It is safe to say that the primary reasons most
people suffer from fatigue are poor diet, lack of nutrients, dehydration, lack of exercise
and lack of sleep.
Diet
Here is a list of types of foods that are known to cause fatigue: starchy carbohydrates
such as cakes, cookies, doughnuts and foods that contain bleached and processed flour.
Any of these types of high-sugar foods that contain lots of simple carbohydrates will give
you short-term energy followed by a serious crash.
Certain foods do the opposite and fight fatigue by supplying long term, clean energy
with no crash.
Unprocessed complex carbohydrates are the enemy of fatigue. Some of the very best
fatigue fighting foods include quinoa, plums, nuts and brewers yeast. Be sure to include
sufficient amounts of protein in your diet as well, as a lack of sufficient protein can
cause fatigue. If you don't eat meat, buying either a whey or vegetarian protein powder
can make this much easier.

2. Exercise
Lack of exercise can cause the body to feel tired and fatigued because the metabolism
slows down and the body starts storing excess fat. Being overweight alone can cause
chronic fatigue. Even mild daily exercise is extremely effective in reversing this.
Going for walks outside during the day will help increase your blood circulation. Poor
circulation is a known cause of fatigue. Going for daily walks is an easy way to stay
healthy and is extremely useful in weight management. Even if you only have a 10 or 15
minute break at work, going for a short walk outside can make you feel refreshed and
re-energized.
Dehydration
Dehydration is an under-recognized leading cause of fatigue. Many people don't drink
water at all during the day; instead they drink soda, energy drinks and coffee, all of
which can cause even further dehydration. Dehydration not only causes fatigue, but a
variety of negative side effects including:
-Joint pain
-Dry skin
-Muscle cramps
-Bloating
-High blood pressure
-Build up of toxins in the body
-Weight gain
Dehydration is the sole reason may people experience fatigue. Luckily this is an easy one
to fix; drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day to avoid dehydration.
Vitamins, herbs and supplements for fighting fatigue
Supplementing a proper diet and exercise regiment with the right nutrients can give you
the edge you need to stay energized and stave off fatigue.

3. The best fatigue fighting herbs, vitamins and supplements include:
-Ginseng
-Longan berries
-Bee pollen
-Chlorella
-Magnesium
-Carnitine
-B vitamins
-Silymarin
Other external factors that can cause fatigue include:
-Alcohol
-Caffeine
-Prescription drugs
-Illegal drugs
-Stress
Being sure to get between seven and eight hours of sleep every night is vitally important
in the battle against fatigue. If you feel that your diet, exercise regiment, sleeping
schedule and supplement regiment are all on track and you've ruled out any other
external causes of fatigue, but you're still experiencing fatigue it may have another
cause such as anemia, diabetes or a thyroid disorder, which is something that you
should visit your doctor or natural health practitioner about.
