The Huffington Post recently published an article outlining some common habits that may be adding to people feeling tired. Let’s look at a few of them and one they did not include.
Vitamin enhanced water: These types of drinks have the opposite effect by causing tiredness as the body works hard to metabolize isolated B-vitamins. The result is feeling jittery, wired, and tired.
Forgetting to eat vegetables: The micronutrients found in fruits and veggies are important to the healthy function of the body. They protect the human body from aging too fast, cancer, and they help increase energy. They should take top priority in your diet.
Computer use: Sitting for long periods and looking at a computer screen can make a person tired. It can also cause such things as computer vision syndrome which leads to headaches, blurred vision, and fatigue. Remember the 20/20/20 rule: After 20 minutes look away from the screen for 20 seconds at something 20 feet away. This will help reduce strain and improve energy.
Eating low-carb: Research done at both the Mayo Clinic and in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association found that people who eat low-carb have greater fatigue and feel less inclined to exercise that those who eat healthy, whole grain complex carbs.
Clutter: Decluttering workspace and the home from papers and piles of things can actually help a person focus and have more energy. Try cleaning up a small area and see the difference it can make.
One area the Huffington Post did not mention is that of upper cervical chiropractic care. Research has revealed that those under this type of care do feel more energized, happier, and healthier. Misalignments that occur in the upper neck vertebrae can affect a number of areas in the body. Blood flow, oxygen, and communication from the body can all be hindered from reaching the brain properly. Once we correct these misalignments in our patients, the results are positive. Research has shown that sleep is improved in both adults and children. Overall health and energy levels increase.
