The two most common problems in the labor market. According to scientists from the University of Durham in Britain, two thirds of the world's inhabitants constantly feel tired. From time to time, one of them is taken directly from the “battlefield” by an ambulance. And everyone has their own field. Factory workers, office workers, housewives with many children, and even slackers are getting tired. After all, there can be many reasons for loss of strength, and they are not always directly related to physical activity. Why does loss of strength appear, how serious is this problem and how to deal with it?

Loss of energy: the scale of the problem

Loss of strength is the first signal of the onset of chronic fatigue syndrome. This is not just a state when “you don’t want anything and can’t do anything”! A loss of strength that does not go away for a long time may be a reason to go to comprehensive examination. After all, a reduced hemoglobin content in the blood, hormonal imbalance due to disorders in endocrine system and hyperglycemia can also cause loss of strength. However, most often this condition is not associated with serious illnesses and occurs due to stress, insufficient rest, lack of sleep and other stress. However, it's worth being on the safe side.

Symptoms of loss of strength are purely individual. Most often it manifests itself in the form of drowsiness, dizziness, irritability and decreased appetite. Also, not many manage to avoid pallor, insomnia, headaches, fever and (sometimes, on the contrary, low temperature).

In this state, it is difficult to do even the most ordinary things: force yourself to get out of bed and get ready, not to mention your usual performance. Not only does the tired person’s mood drop, but also their productivity.

In addition to the work plan, damage is also caused to the nervous system. But not everyone manages to lie down and have a proper rest. So it turns out that going to work/school/other errands turns out to be real torture. Hence depression, apathy and powerlessness, and often suicidal behavior.

Loss of strength is considered especially dangerous for children, who can get used to this condition and forever lose the taste for life, which in science is called asthenia.

Loss of strength makes a person weak in the face of any difficulties, even in front of the weather: sensitivity to cold increases, extremities become very cold. On the background high blood pressure There may be ringing in the ears, spots in the eyes, and also weakness throughout the body (sometimes even aches, like a cold). Often it becomes difficult for the patient to press keys or hold a pen, look at the monitor for a long time, or even just sit in one position. Prolonged stay in this state can lead to serious problems with health.

Causes of loss of strength

And so, the first reasons for the loss of strength have already been named - these are excessive load on the body: both physical and moral. But, alas, the list of factors does not end there. Lack of sleep, diet poor in vitamins, iron deficiency anemia, excess harmful products nutrition, nervous tension and chronic stress, conflicts, problems in personal life...

Even professional burnout can lead to loss of strength! In our time, when intellectual activity is valued above all else, everything more professions directly related to four office walls, a computer monitor and endless routine work. And even those who are in love with their profession sometimes get tired not only of overtime, but also of their direct responsibilities.

Whatever the reasons for the loss of strength, the main thing is to start fighting it in time. There are several simple methods for this.

Loss of strength: what to do

The immune system is the main ally against increased fatigue And chronic fatigue. Good immunity- a guarantee of vigor and high efficiency in any matter. And to support immune system in good shape, necessary balanced diet, moderate physical exercise And good rest.

Eat properly

As a rule, during a loss of strength, the appetite is “not very good”! Still, try to eat regularly and never go hungry. Foods such as almonds, beans (you can try switching to), eggs, dark chocolate, citrus fruits, cabbage, seeds and coconuts will help you accumulate energy. When you are tired, it is better to completely exclude fried, fatty and sweet foods. The controversial issue is coffee. Here caution will not hurt: one cup in the morning will be quite enough. It’s better to replace tea, coffee and other drinks with plain water; if you lose energy, you should have a little more of it than usual. Water cleanses the body of toxins and normalizes metabolism; moreover, it is dehydration that can cause a depressed state.

Live actively

Get enough sleep

For example, scientists have recently proven that this is also bad. It has also been proven to cause insomnia and other sleep disorders. Smartphones and tablets have no place in bed. Without the hormone melatonin, which is released during proper rest, the body does not have time to recover. As a result, our strength runs out, and we feel that same breakdown. The quality of sleep is improved by books, heart-to-heart conversations, light music, or milk with honey, or (at worst) sleeping pills and sedatives.

Relax

Time for business, time for fun. But in practice it is clear that many of us do not know how to rest for even an hour.
