“Addicted” to caffeine

While caffeine does provide an immediate boost, its side effects can increase fatigue later on. For some people, drinking coffee even six hours before bed can affect sleep quality. According to nutritionists, limiting caffeine will increase energy levels in the long run, but it is important to follow the guidelines and cut back gradually to avoid headaches and irritability.

Iron deficiency

Statistics from a recent study show that about 1/3 of women are at risk of iron deficiency due to menstruation. Low iron levels lead to anemia, which in turn leads to constant fatigue. Adding iron-rich foods (lean meat, dark green vegetables, beans, dried fruits, citrus fruits rich in vitamin C) to your diet is a great way to increase iron in the body.

Dehydration

According to medical experts, losing even 2% of the body's normal water content can have a major impact on energy levels. As people age, they lose their thirst reflex. In addition, working in air-conditioned rooms or walking long distances can dehydrate the body, leading to low blood pressure and insufficient blood flow to the brain or muscles, leading to headaches, fatigue, and loss of concentration.

Foods high in sugar

Sugary energy drinks and snacks such as biscuits, chocolate, chips... disrupt blood sugar levels, which can cause fatigue. Prioritize fruits and vegetables in your diet. Also, don't let your body lack protein (found in meat, fish, beans, yogurt, some nuts...).

Stress

A little stress can help you feel excited, but long-term stress will drain your body's energy, thereby causing a constant feeling of fatigue and depression.

Thyroid problems

Insufficient thyroxine (thyroid hormone) is one of the common causes of fatigue, especially in middle-aged women. According to the Daily Mail, other symptoms of thyroid disease include excessive thirst, weight gain and feeling cold in normal weather conditions.
