What do you know about fatigue? We all know that it is a term used to describe feeling tired and lacking energy. What we may not know is that it can be both physical and mental, often occurring together. If physical exhaustion is repeated over time, it can lead to mental fatigue.
There are several factors that contribute to fatigue. In many cases, fatigue can be linked to lifestyle issues, such as inadequate sleep, poor nutrition, excessive alcohol or drug use, and insufficient or excessive physical activity. It can also be a symptom of certain medications or underlying health conditions like adrenal insufficiency, ALS, anemia, anxiety disorders, cancer, diabetes, fibromyalgia, heart disease, pregnancy, etc.
Adopting a healthy diet and engaging in regular physical activity can help alleviate fatigue for many individuals.

Treating the underlying cause, whether it is related to sleep or a specific health condition, is also important.
In addition to lifestyle changes, there are various remedies that can help alleviate fatigue, Dr. Danielle Belardo, an American cardiologist who has spent decades studying heart health, recommends three supplements to prevent fatigue and enhance immune function: folic acid, vitamin B12, and vitamin D.
