Why am I tired all the time?
Fatigue can be occasional or chronic, and has many causes. An intense pace of life, an unbalanced diet, lack of hydration, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, excess caffeine, stress, lack of physical exercise or even screens before bedtime can all have an impact on our energy levels.
The different types of fatigue
There are several types of fatigue:
Physical, due to excessive energy expenditure, deficiencies or a lack of muscle recovery.
Mental, linked to a heavy cognitive workload and a lack of quality sleep.
Emotional and nervous, often caused by stress, anxiety or a period of overwork.
Pathological, associated with certain illnesses, hormonal disorders or convalescence.
Why use a food supplement to combat fatigue?
Food supplements can be an effective solution for supporting the body and regaining energy. They help to boost energy and vitality on a daily basis, as well as supporting the immune system and improving recovery. They can also help combat stress and promote better emotional management. Lastly, they can help with seasonal changes and temporary fatigue.
How do I choose the right anti-fatigue food supplement?
The choice of supplement depends on the type of fatigue you are experiencing:
Physical and muscular fatigue: organic spirulina, rich in protein and iron, helps to support energy and endurance.
Nervous fatigue and stress: Triple Magnesium and organic ashwagandha promote relaxation and mental recovery.
Reduced energy and weakened immunity: Optimised Vitamin C andorganic chaga extract help to strengthen natural defences.
Concentration and cognitive performance: organic Brazilian ginseng stimulates memory and mental clarity.
Emotional fatigue and overwork: the saffron and rhodiola combo provides support against nervous fatigue and prolonged stress.
Food supplements come in several forms: tablets, capsules, powders or liquid extracts, depending on your preferences and needs.
How should food supplements be incorporated into your diet?
For optimum effectiveness, it is advisable to take energy-boosting supplements (such as vitamin C or ginseng) in the morning for a boost without disturbing your sleep. Relaxing supplements (such as ashwagandha or magnesium) are best taken at the end of the day to encourage relaxation.
Powdered supplements are easy to mix into a smoothie, juice, yoghurt or compote. Some, such as chaga or ashwagandha, go well in a herbal tea or hot milk. Capsules and tablets should be taken with a glass of water, preferably with a meal.
The important thing is to follow the recommended dosage and space out the courses of treatment to avoid becoming accustomed to them.
How can you prevent fatigue in everyday life?
In addition to taking supplements, there are a few simple steps you can take to maintain your energy levels on a daily basis:
Eat a balanced diet, rich in vegetables, fruit and proteins.
Get enough sleep, going to bed at regular times and getting good quality sleep.
Cut down on stimulants, such as excessive coffee or screens in the evening.
Engage in moderate physical activity to promote blood circulation and muscle recovery.
Manage stress using relaxation techniques such as meditation and deep breathing.
With a global approach combining appropriate food supplements and an optimised lifestyle, it is possible to regain lasting energy and well-being.
