Hello,

Thank you for writing to us,

Here i had described reasons for tiredness and also included suggestion for get out of it.

Top 3 Reasons

The most common reasons for feeling tired are about daily habits.

1. What you eat.

Reaching for caffeine and sugar can backfire, leaving you more fatigued as your blood sugar levels fluctuate wildly.

Instead, go for a balanced, healthy diet replete with fruits, vegetables, and lean protein. "Most people feel like they're less tired if they eat a healthy diet". "Eating healthy also means you'll carry less weight, and obesity is a big contributor to fatigue."

2. How much you sleep.

You saw this one coming, right? Many people don't get enough sleep.

If you're one of them, avoid caffeine and alcohol in the hours just before bedtime, turn off the TV before bed, and keep your bedroom quiet and restful.

3. How much you exercise.

This is the biggie.

Best Prescription for plain old tiredness is regular, vigorous exercise.

If you think that exercise would just make you more tired, there's good news: Exercise breeds energy.

Hope You will find it out helpful.

Thanks And Regards,
Dr. Gaurav Prajapati
