Health | Fatigue is different than tired

We all get tired at some point; our sleeping schedule suffers a little, something keeps us up extra late on TV or we catch a cold.

We can get fatigued too. Did you know fatigue is different than tired? Tired is like fatigue light.

Or in actual terms, fatigue is a lack of energy, feelings of weariness and persistence.
That means no matter how much you sleep, you’re still tired.

Know the feeling?

Causes of fatigue:
+ work
+ stress
+ depression
+ medical conditions (like PCOS, diabetes, etc.)
+ side effects from medications
+ vitamin and mineral deficiencies

How to get rid of fatigue:
+ Believe it or not, exercise is the number one way to combat fatigue. Exercise allows your body to enjoy deeper sleep and it boosts your energy.
+ Eliminate nicotine, don’t consume caffeine after noon, cut crappy food from your diet (like high fructose corn syrup)
+ Eat multiple smaller and more frequent meals a day
+ Spend 15 minutes journaling a day
+ Go outside. [Believe it or not, this is called biophilia and is "a restorative connection we feel to the natural world."]
