How do we fight fatigue?
updated the 13 June 2014 à 23:13Those bouts of fatigue are not worth it! We believe that it’s the lack of sleep – or our hormonal systems – that leave us feeling less than energized.
“Doctor, I’m exhausted!” This is the most common complaint addressed by doctors at the beginning of each consultation. The problem is that sleeping better is not always enough to drive away fatigue. Because even without sleep disorders or illness, fatigue and its inevitable consequences (irritability, difficulty concentrating, decreased performance at work…) sometimes take root in you. So it makes no difference whether you wake up in the morning, afternoon or evening as fatigue does not necessarily have the same source.
Hormonal, enzymatic or nutritional imbalances may play a part, as the time of day when your energy collapses depends on a variety of factors. Dr. Thierry Hertoghe, President of the World Association of Anti-Aging Medicine and author of The Hormone Diet, identifies the cause and solution to your fatigue.
