5 Reasons You Are Always Tired

admin — Fri, 08 Apr 2016 01:33:49 +0000

At some point in our busy schedule, all we want to do is crawl back into bed for the rest of the day. Feeling sluggish, irritable, weak, unfocused and tired can happen to everyone but if this happens to you majority of the time, then you have to find the reason this is happening. Here are 5 things that make you tired even if you get enough sleep.

You are not drinking enough water

Dehydration makes blood become thicker and the heart pumps less efficiently. This, in turn, reduces oxygen levels and slows nutrients from reaching the muscles and organs. Drinking water energizes and makes you feel refreshed.

You live in a messy environment

Cleaning is not such a fun activity but if your desk at the office or your house is always scattered with things, you are likely to become tired easily. Seeing things all over the place exhausts your mind at the sight of it. It makes you lose focus and limits your movement. Being messy is not creative chaos, it’s an energy drainer.

You eat junk food.

We all love greasy or sugary food but your favorite guilty pleasure might be the reason why you are tired. They are high in carbohydrates which raise blood sugar rapidly and then fall even more rapidly. This process makes you fatigue within a short period of time.

How much you sleep

Getting enough sleep is necessary to keep you active and lively throughout the day. 7 to 8 hours of sleep is the right amount you should get to prevent you from getting sleepy during the day. Going to bed and waking up at the same time daily can make you feel great. If you are not getting enough sleep, then you will get tired easily and you can’t cheat on sleep because it will surely catch up with you.

How much exercise you get

The less active you are, the more likely you will get fatigue easily. Exercise not only keeps you in shape and fit, it makes you active and well prepared for the day ahead. Getting early morning walks before doing anything will keep you energized and active for the rest of the day.

Conclusion

Being tired constantly makes you lazy and uncomfortable in every aspect. No matter how busy you get, try making time for yourself to have quality sleep and exercise to ensure that you overcome fatigue always. Having enough rest keeps you healthy, active and refreshed.

4 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do

Valentine Oliver — Sun, 28 Feb 2016 06:05:03 +0000

People put in so much trying to work on their bodies and they most times totally forget about their mental health. Your mental health is as important as your physical health because to some extent, your mental health controls your physical well-being.
So it’s important to know things that a mentally strong people wouldn’t do. Here are few of those things:

1. Waste time feeling sorry for themselves

It feels like a natural thing to feel sad sometimes, but then dwelling on your misfortune and just expecting others to show you some sympathy is not natural in any way. You need to come to the understanding that each time you keep feeling sorry for yourself, what you’re doing is underestimating your ability to cope with pain and that can be very destructive. Self-pity keeps you so focused on your problems, that you can’t see any way to improve your life. Gratitude is one of the most effective ways to ward off self-pity.

2. Fear taking calculated risks

Your emotions can seriously cloud your judgements a times. For example, when you’re excited about a particular opportunity, you underestimated the risk and when you’re anxious, you do the opposite. Mentally strong people balance their emotions with logic so they can calculate which risks are worth taking, and move forward with all confidence.

3. Resent other people’s success

Mentally strong people don’t have the time to sit down and resent other’s people’s success, they see it as a complete waste of time. Instead, they invest that time into working towards their own goals. Envying other people because of their success is for the mentally weak people. Write down your definition of success and focus on cooperating–rather than competing–with those around you.

4. Make the same mistakes over and over

Most times people would rather spend more of their time, trying to cover up their mistakes, that they don’t learn from them. As long as you’re human, you’re expected to make mistakes, but what a mentally strong person would do is try to learn from his or her mistake so that it won’t repeat itself again. The first step to doing this is by acknowledging your blunders first, rather than making silly excuses for what went wrong.

Conclusion

The same way it’s possible to build your body physically, it is also possible to achieve mental growth. These are just 4 of the things that a mentally strong person would never do. Try to master them and incorporate them into your daily life and as times goes own you’ll notice that you’ve grown to a stronger mental state.

3 Natural Remedies For Depression You Should Know About

Joshua Smith — Tue, 09 Feb 2016 12:00:14 +0000

Depression is a terrible mental and emotional condition that affects billions of people around the world, drastically reducing their quality of life, and in severe cases leaving affected individuals needing to be institutionalized.

It is important that you know how to get rid of depression or prevent it from happening to you, and we will show you how in this article:

1. Sleep

Sleep has been one of the most undervalued aspects of health for the longest time, but it is slowly coming into the limelight, with numerous studies confirming its benefits.

One of the benefits these studies suggest sleep gives you, is that it relaxes your mind and your body, and it releases feel good hormones that may keep you up throughout the day, helping to keep depression far away.

Make sure you get the recommended seven to eight hours of sleep daily, to enjoy the full benefits of sleep.

2. Exercise

When you exercise, your body pumps blood faster, and quicker to your brain, and makes you breathe faster and deeper, so more oxygen also reaches your brain, which makes it works better, making you feel more alive. “Feel good” hormones are also released when you exercise

3. Eat well:

Some forms of depression are caused when your body does not have enough nutrients or energy to function at its best, so it has to shut down, or minimize some non-essential processes, to provide for the most important ones.

But if you eat a healthy, balanced diet, your body,your brain in particular, will have all the nutrients and energy to function at its peak, making you sharper to observe, and to see life to be interesting.

Also, when you have eaten a hearty meal, you end up feeling good and satisfied, which researchers have found, can influence the rest of your day positively.

3 Steps To Big Game Preparation

Valentine Oliver — Fri, 05 Feb 2016 09:00:17 +0000

The fact is that as long as you’re human, you are likely to feel tense or anxious before an important event such as a big game or track meet. As an athlete, you probably feel this way, especially towards a main event that you’ve been anticipating for a long while, and there’s nothing wrong with this but it could hamper your performance if not managed properly. Here are 3 things that you need to totally avoid, in preparation for an upcoming event.

1. Avoid using any strong substance

No matter how much your friends tempt you to come down to the bar and have some drinks with them, don’t yield. Most of these strong substances like drugs and alcohol, do more than merely get you high. They damage brain cells and are generally bad for an athlete’s health.

In preparation of your upcoming event, you need your brain to be at its full strength. Instead on indulging in alcohol (the most readily available strong substance), try eating foods that actually help improve your brain function (berries, green tea, Omega-3s).

2. Avoid dwelling on the D-day

This is one mistake that most young athletes make. They keep fantasizing about how great they expect themselves to perform. This would only make you more anxious, and anxiety is not something you want, especially when the event is right around the corner.

Try distracting yourself with things you love and spend your leisure time sleeping instead of keeping your mind occupied with not-so-useful thoughts. Most professional athletes know and understand this, and that’s why they remain consistent in their performance.

3. Avoid intensified training sessions

Most young athletes tend to believe that towards the D day is when they should train harder. They extend the time of their training sessions, they load on more weight, they increase the number of sets they usually have. This is a big misconception that often leads to poor performance.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that there’s anything wrong in training hard, but then when it’s 3 days towards the event, try to lessen the work load and time you spend during workout sessions. Also learn to spend more time resting your mind.

Conclusion

Great athletes understand how to prepare for an event and this is one of the reasons behind their success. Try to follow these 3 steps and be sure of achieving that great performance that you’ve always worked so hard for.

7 Classic Signs of Poor Mental Wellbeing

Sally Njie — Fri, 27 Nov 2015 12:31:37 +0000

Most people experience poor mental well-being at some point in their lives. There are various factors that can negatively affect your mental well-being such as divorce, daily life hassles, exams, meeting deadlines, breakups etc. It is not always easy to gauge poor mental well-being or the severity of it. Here are 5 tell-tale signs of poor mental well-being.

1. Inability to concentrate or think clearly

People experiencing poor mental well-being find it difficult to concentrate or think clearly. This is because our brains are programmed to work under specific conditions and unfortunately, poor mental well-being isn’t one of them.

2. Sleep problems

This one’s a giveaway. Changes in sleep patterns (sleeping too much or too little) is one of the most common signs of poor mental well-being. Humans, generally, need seven to nine hours of sleep, daily.

3. Weight and appetite instability

Mental issues can have an impact on weight and appetite. People experiencing rapidly fluctuating weight and changes in appetite usually have underlying mental health problems like depression or an eating disorder.

4. Emotional outbursts

Changes in mood are normal and everyone experiences them. Sudden and dramatic changes in mood, however, is a symptom of poor mental well-being. It is especially common in people who bottle up their feelings.

5. Anxiousness

Especially if it is constant and disrupts your life on a daily basis, anxiety is a sign of poor mental health. Common Symptoms of anxiety are shortness of breath, restlessness, headaches and heart palpitations (if it’s severe).

6. Quiet and withdrawn

It’s always healthy to have some alone time on occasion. Withdrawing from life is a huge indication of poor mental well-being or even worse, it could be a mental health issue.

7. Substance abuse

Not only is this a sign of poor mental well-being, it is also a contributor. Substances like alcohol and drugs (mostly illegal) have been scientifically proven to be factors that stimulate poor mental health.

Feeling guilty and worthless, loss of energy and changes in behavior (speech, changes in habits and dress) are also signs of poor mental well-being. Not all people experience all these symptoms but if you (or anyone close to you) are experiencing some of these symptoms and it is worth seeking proper medical expertise.
