Energy
When was the last time you said something like
"I just don't have the energy I used to have?"
The underlying reasons can be hard to discern, but low energy is a common complaint of middle aged adults.
Sometimes the problem is linked to a serious underlying health issue, such as depression, anemia, thyroid problems, or chronic syndrome, all of which require medical attention. But this is usually not the case.
Fortunately, there is a lot you can do to boost your energy besides
chugging coffee and tea. When a lack of vim and vigor can't be
tied to a specific health condition, try exercise first.
Regular exercise enhances the body's oxygen-carrying capacity. It also
supports sounder, more restful sleep- another vital source of energy and one that becomes more challenging in middle age.
In addition to exercising, try good sleep hygiene- a set of habits that can help improve your sleep. Limiting caffeine and establishing a regular sleep routine are good places to start.
Stress management can also help. Stress-induced emotions consume large amounts of energy. Exercise is a proven stress buster!
