Fatigue, loss of energy, problems with concentration - these are problems that probably each of us struggles with from time to time. Discharged batteries can be a symptom of a whole range of ailments, so we should never ignore them! Often, however, the cause of fatigue is simply a vitamin deficiency in the body. So – what to take for fatigue and sleepiness? Below are some suggestions.
Are you lacking energy? Wonder why!
Gym training? It will make us exhausted. Hard day at work? After a few hours of sitting at a desk, we will definitely start to have problems concentrating. Going shopping, going to a festival or even a longer walk? We will probably come back tired. Energy fluctuations are simply an everyday occurrence that we cannot avoid and that is why we often do not pay much attention to them. Wrong! But why? Because of a few reasons.
First of all, fatigue can be a symptom of other, more serious health problems. Latent heart and circulatory system diseases, diabetes, asthma... each of them is a heavy burden on the body, which will manifest itself in the loss of energy. Therefore, if you notice that your body gets tired faster than usual and it is becoming more and more difficult for you to focus on your daily duties, it is advisable to consult a doctor.
What if we can (luckily) rule out the involvement of other diseases? Then we can deal with the so-called chronic fatigue syndrome. Chronic lack of energy affects an increasing number of people, and its main culprits are stress (often work-related), disturbed rhythm of life (e.g. sleep deprivation) and an unbalanced diet. So where should you start fighting fatigue? From introducing healthy habits - especially eating ones.
Vitamins for fatigue – start with a healthy diet
It doesn't matter whether you are a professional athlete or you spend long hours at a desk - creating a balanced diet rich in all the necessary ingredients is a very difficult task. Before we get down to it, it is worth taking a look at your current eating habits and identifying the problems that prevent you from enjoying your full strength. Therefore, it will be important not only how many calories we provide to the body every day, but also what ingredients dominate the diet, how many meals we eat and at what intervals, and how large portions we take at a time. The main dietary "sins" that can contribute to problems with lack of energy are:
- eating fatty, hard-to-digest meals - they provide a lot of calories, but unhealthy and "empty" ones;
- taking too small or too large portions - the human body is like a well-designed machine; it needs a certain amount of nutrients to work;
- irregular meals - eating on the run or "accumulating" calories in the evening was never a good idea; optimal energy management is only possible when our body has already developed certain patterns (for example, receiving a nutritious meal at 2 p.m.).
So what about fatigue? The best way to combat lack of energy is to follow a diet based on regular meals with balanced doses of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals and vitamins. Those who complain of constant fatigue most often lack the latter. So don't delay (and don't give in to fatigue!) - provide your body with vitamins for fatigue and lack of energy, as well as essential minerals:
- vitamin C – in appropriate amounts it will help fight drowsiness and fatigue; the best sources are, of course, vegetables and fruits (and an additional dose will be provided by HYPER 18 VITAMINS & MINERALS );
- vitamin D – influences, among others, for efficient functioning of muscles, which will of course translate into better energy management of the entire body; fish, egg yolks and... sunlight are particularly rich in it;
- iron - oxygenating tissues and therefore combating lethargy; you will find them mainly in animal products, but also dried fruit and nuts;
- magnesium – essential for people exposed to severe stress and physical exercise (i.e. the most tired); an excellent source of it (apart from cereal products and... chocolate!) may be eatyx HYPER BRAIN IQ BOOSTER - a dietary supplement with a comprehensive composition, created for those who need an additional dose of energy;
- B vitamins - their deficiency has a huge impact on our well-being; including energy level; you will find them in citrus fruits and nuts, as well as in meat products.
For those who really lack vitamins in their daily diet, we recommend supplementing classic meals with a multivitamin preparation containing a full set of vitamins (from A to E!) and minerals - eatyx HYPER VITAMINS AND MINERALS + PROBIOTICS . Its comprehensive composition supports the proper functioning of the entire body and naturally helps in the fight against fatigue! The HYPER VITAMINS AND MINERALS + PROBIOTICS anti-fatigue supplement also contains as many as 10 strains of probiotic bacteria, amounting to as much as 3 billion, which, combined with the above-mentioned vitamins, creates a real mixture "fit for the future"!
And speaking of dietary supplements - what makes us (apart from the fact that we can consume them at any time) consider them a perfect complement to a balanced diet? More on that below.
Supplements for fatigue – a full package of vitamins? Is it a concentrated dose of ginseng?
For many of us, fatigue is the result of long hours spent at work or training - in such conditions it is really difficult to find time (and energy!) to make each of our meals 100% properly balanced. This is where fatigue supplements come in handy.
Some of them (like the previously mentioned HYPER VITAMINS AND MINERALS + PROBIOTICS) are a comprehensive composition of vitamins, minerals and plant extracts - if you do not know what ingredients your body is missing, you will certainly not make a mistake by choosing such a preparation.
Others - such as e.g. eatyx HYPER DETOX 360 - are supplements with a concentrated content of several ingredients that are particularly important for our body:
- ginseng – has a positive effect on our vitality and concentration;
- collagen – improves the functioning of the circulatory system, which has a huge impact on our well-being;
- coenzyme Q10 – helps fight fatigue and weariness.
