4. You may suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). The following remedies should help you overcome this. • Have a balanced, healthy diet – Increase your intake of healthy food such as fruits and vegetables. These provide your body with vitamins and minerals to keep your immune system strong. Also increase your consumption of garlic and onion, which are known to boost the immune system. Eating more quality protein that is rich in omega 3, 6 and 9 (such as fish, chicken, soy products) also helps maintain the body healthy. Avoid food high in fat and sugar content, as they will make you prone to feeling lethargic and sluggish. Never skip breakfast and instead of having three full meals per day, go for more frequent meals but with smaller portions to keep your body's metabolism going. • Get up and active – People afflicted with chronic fatigue syndrome don't have to rest and sleep all the time. Regular exercise is advised to help combat the lethargy and lack of energy. Fifteen to thirty minutes of mild exercise combined with 30 minutes of rigorous physical activity such as swimming, aerobics and tennis can work wonders in improving your heart's performance and for proper circulation. • De-stress and relax – Doctors have found out that there is a strong connection between stress/anxiety and the development of chronic fatigue syndrome. To avoid having chronic fatigue, it is advised to manage stress and bring stress levels down. Relaxation, stretching or even meditation can help you reach this goal. A relatively new way to increase your energy is by using binaural beats for brain entrainment, you can easily create the type of physical and mental states you desire within minutes.

5. You could be anemic or have a b12 deficiency. Both of these are fairly common and will cause fatigue. You can get a blood test to check for this, it's very easy. Stress and depression are also chief causes of fatique. In the mean time I would suggest drinking tea or coffee to get you through until you find out what's causing your fatigue.
