When doctors cannot find the source of your symptoms of fatigue and tiredness, it’s time to go back to the drawing board.

It’s time to consider that perhaps the source may be related to where you spend most of your time – at home.

Tiredness Symptoms – Symptoms Of Fatigue That Don’t Go Away

Some of the clues that your environment is causing your fatigue symptoms include the following:

1. You have to sleep for more than 8 hours a night each night.

2. You get more than 8 hours sleep each night but still have extreme fatigue during the day.

3. Doing any type of housework such as vacuuming or laundry tires you out and you must lay down to rest afterwards.

4. Driving to the store for groceries is something you dread because you know you will feel wiped out afterward.

5. Preparing a meal seems like an excruciating task.

6. Nothing seems exciting to you anymore, and even the thought of going out with friends is not something to look forward to because you will suffer extreme fatigue afterward.

7. All you want to do is stay home. (Surprisingly, desiring to stay at home in a toxic environment is common in those who have home toxicity.)

8. Even bathing seems like an insurmountable task.

When you have this level of fatigue, there’s definitely something wrong.

Detecting Energy Predators In Your Home

Start with your house. No, I don’t mean clean it! Instead, make a list of all the new things you have added to the house prior to feeling the chronic fatigue.

Here’s a list of probing questions that can reveal a connection of your home and your extreme tiredness:

1. Did you add new carpeting?

2. Did you paint the walls?

3. Did you add any type of new flooring?

4. Did you hire an exterminator to come in and perform services?

5. Have you added a new stove to the home?

6. As an extension of your home, what about your car? Have you recently purchased a brand new one, or one that has the ‘new car smell’?

Chemicals Must Be Detoxified By Your Body Or Extreme Tiredness Results

Paint contains chemicals that are harmful to the environment

Chronic fatigue can result from problems in the home such as outgassing of chemicals from newly added carpeting. Paint can outgas as well as flooring.

There are dozens of chemicals in new cars. Any time that home improvements are made, they often contain substances (flooring, carpeting, etc.) that has been created with a lot of chemicals.

These chemicals outgas to your home environment and pollute the air. This alone can be a major cause of chronic fatigue.

As your body struggles to detoxify itself of these chemicals that you are breathing in, your detoxification system can become overwhelmed. Then it can’t detoxify itself anymore.

Your body’s detox system has reached a level beyond, which it can operate. And chronic fatigue and tiredness follow.

The same thing happens for extermination services. These chemicals and sprays will be breathed in by you, and your body then has to detoxify them.

If your body is unable to accomplish the day in and day out detoxification, you will suffer from tiredness.

A new stove is not a problem in itself but what can become the culprit in chronic fatigue is the gas line connection.

If attached improperly, the result is a leak of gas, which will also eventually overwhelm your body. The gas produces carbon monoxide in your body, which is lethal in high doses.

If you’ve found a potential source of your fatigue, you’ll have to remedy it. But do read on because your goal is to remove all the health predators in your home.

Other Questions To Help You Detect Causes Of Extreme Tiredness

There are other questions that can help you determine a connection between your chronic fatigue and your home, if it exists.

1. Have you had any storm damage to the roof or windows in your home?

2. Have you noticed any cracks in the basement floor?

3. Have you seen any mold growing anywhere in the house, such as on the walls, in the closet, or around the windows?

4. Have you noticed any spongy areas on the floor in any of your rooms?

5. Does your home smell kind of musty when you come back after a few days away?

6. Is your bedroom located right above the garage?

Time To Call In A Mold Inspector

Is there mold on your bedroom wall?

Mold growth from water intrusion is a very common problem and few people realize the impact it has on health.

Many people are surprised to clean the bedroom one day and find the wall behind the bed completely covered with black mold.

Although your body is able to handle small amounts of mold, when you can see it on a wall or find it caked onto an air conditioning or heating duct, you have far too much mold for your body to handle.

Calling in a mold inspector is sometimes the most important thing you can do to beat your chronic fatigue symptoms.

Then the next step is mold remediation. Questions 1 through 5 on the list above pertain to mold growth in the home.

You Need A Carbon Monoxide Detector, Too

One last cause of people experiencing fatigue symptoms is again related to the body’s detoxification ability. It’s #6, with the bedroom located over the garage.

The exhaust fumes from the car end up going through the bedroom walls of the home, bringing a big dose of carbon monoxide.

Carbon monoxide directly bonds to your body’s oxygen and then slowly the red blood cell number that is incapacitated increases to the point where symptoms of fatigue – and then next extreme fatigue are felt.

In unfortunate circumstances, people die from this.

Your body’s detoxification systems are put in place for you to have victory over your environment, but sometimes – as in the case of chronic fatigue – these systems are overwhelmed.

To get your health back, you must replenish the capacity of your body to detoxify and remove the offending source in the home.

For more info on tiredness, see the ebook, End Tiredness Program. It will give you good insight into the topic.

If you’ve ever wondered whether anemia and fatigue (or tiredness) are related, the answer is a big YES.

You could have anemia for months and not ever realize that you had it until you go to the doctor for a check-up.

A simple red blood cell count test will discover anemia and only requires a blood sample.

You could also have unexplained fatigue, anemia and tiredness but don’t find out that it’s anemia until you end up in a hospital with a diagnosis of internal hemorrhaging. The internal hemorrhaging is what causes anemia.

Did you know that anemia can also lead to heart disease and a coma? It can.

So anemia is no simple matter that can be ignored. If left untreated, you can die from a low quality and quantity of blood.

What Is Anemia Anyway?

Anemia, by definition is a reduced number of red blood cells. This reduced number results from a number of different scenarios:

• Internal hemorrhaging

• Loss of excessive amounts of blood during menstruation

• Iron deficiency

• Vitamin C, copper, or vitamin B6 deficiency

• Lack of intake of food and calories and thus, multiple deficiencies

• Weight loss surgery which affects absorption of foods in the small intestine

• Parasite infections

• Peptic ulcers

The parasitic infections cause anemia because parasites can be pretty aggressive and chew through tissues in the body, causing internal hemorrhaging.

Peptic ulcers are open wounds in the lining of the stomach, and bleeding is involved.

Iron deficiency anemia is most commonly associated with anemia although not all anemias are related to iron deficiency anemia.

Anemia Symptoms Go Beyond Just Fatigue

Other symptoms of anemia

All anemias cause similar symptoms, and the most common symptom is tiredness and fatigue. Anemia and fatigue go together hand in glove.

This anemia fatigue is not just the type of tiredness that results after a hard day of work.

It’s the kind of fatigue that makes it almost impossible to get out of bed in the morning to go to work.

Anemia can also cause these symptoms:

• Dizzy spells

• Sadness

• Pale skin

• Depression

• Constipation

• Brittle nails

• Shortness of breath

• High heart rate

• Difficulty breathing

• Decreased resistance to disease

• Dull mental functioning (as if you have brain fog)

• Pica, the desire to eat ice chips, paint chips, pencil erasers and other inedible things

Fatigue Is Not Only Caused By Anemia

It’s important to realize that fatigue can be caused by anemia but it can also be caused by other things that are wrong with the body.

Here’s a short list of some of those things:

• Infection anywhere in the body

• Chemical exposure

• Heavy metal exposure

• Pain in the body

• High blood sugar levels

• Low blood sugar levels

• High blood pressure

• Heart disease

• Lung disease

• Burns or serious skin wounds that require healing

This is why it’s so important to get to a doctor to have your unexplained fatigue analyzed and the root of it uncovered.

While your doctor tests for red blood cell count, he will most likely also test for white blood cell count.

If your white blood cell count is elevated, it can mean that you have an infection. Infections cause tiredness although they may not be accompanied by anemia and fatigue.

A low white blood cell count may mean that you are deficient in vitamin C and other vitamins and minerals that help boost the production of white blood cells.

Low white blood cell count can also be related to anemia and fatigue, especially if an individual has not been eating a proper diet.

Anemia Treatment Is Simple

When anemia is the cause of unexplained fatigue, the reason why there is fatigue in the first place is that the red blood cells carry oxygen to every part of your body.

Without enough cells carrying the oxygen, you will be tired. If the cells don’t get what they need, they cry out for the oxygen and tiredness results. You get slowed down, no matter what you are doing.

Yet, the simple solution can be a blood transfusion if the red blood cell count is exceptionally low, lower than 8 mg/dl when the normal is 12-16 mg/dl. As soon as the IV starts bringing in new blood, the fatigue lifts.

When the red blood cell level is greater than 8, a doctor will send you home to start eating high iron foods, such as liver, spinach, beef, lamb, bison, buffalo, leafy greens like spinach, and different kinds of legumes such as black-eyed peas. Blackstrap molasses is also a good source of iron.

He may also give you an iron supplement that should be taken for three months. It takes a full three months to build new blood cells, which will then eliminate the anemia and fatigue.

Imagine what it will be like to have your tiredness gone! It’s like a breath of fresh air inside your arteries!

For more on tiredness, check out the ebook, End Tiredness Program.

It contains quite a bit of background information that can help you get down to the root of your tiredness.

Do you have unexplained fatigue?

If so, you may want to consider some military intelligence that links bad weather with not only fatigue, but also apathy, nausea, headaches, dizziness, water retention, allergy outbreaks, irritation, anxiety, depression, and even suicide attempts.

What’s In The Air? Positive And Negative Ions

You may already have noticed that you seem to feel worse before a storm hits your area, and better after that storm has passed.

Specifically you could feel listless and so tired you can barely move or motivate yourself to move no matter what fatigue supplements you take once a storm is on its way.

That’s because the air is filled with positive ions before a storm hits and afterward, the negative ions predominate.

In fact, it’s not just people in the U.S. who notice these changes.

Unexplained fatigue becomes understandable when you realize that almost every country reports that a certain type of wind – one with hot, dry air – carries positive ions over the land it rushes over, leaving the inhabitants tired and feeling poorly.

Here’s a partial list of some of those different winds:

California – Santa Ana winds
Canada – Chinook winds
Austria – Foehn winds
Australia – The Desert Wind
Argentina – Zonda winds
Israel – Sharav winds

In fact, one author, Fred Soyka, was so convinced that the positive ions of the winds of the Swiss Alps were responsible for ill health, especially unexplained fatigue, that he wrote a book on it called, The Ion Effect.

This book came out in the late 1970s.

The bottom line of Soyka’s book is that negative ions are associated with health. Positive ions are associated with illness and lack of health.

Russians Used Negative Ion Therapy Long Ago

The concept is nothing new to the Russians. They placed their Olympic athletes in environments high in negative ions back in the 1940s.

And why not? The athletes had ten times more endurance than in a normal air environment.

And that wasn’t all that they found. Imagine gymnasts who improved their balance and coordination skills by 300% and split second reaction time by100%.

Who could beat them with these superhuman scores?

The Russians had set up multiple negative ion generators wherever their athletes went to train.

The coaches made sure the negative ion generators were packed up with the athletic gear in the buses.

As long as they could get the negative ions pumped into the environment, simply breathing them in would allow the negative ions to diffuse into the rest of the cells of the body.

And when every cell was “high” on negative ions, fatigue was eliminated. And it was all legal.

Natural Highs From Negative Ion Therapy

This “high” on negative ions is not a bad thing like a high on drugs.

On the contrary, the high on natural negative ions is what happens when you go to the ocean and breathe in the amazingly fresh air. You feel great!

It’s the same as sitting beside a waterfall. The waterfall generates negative ions, and high levels are then breathed into the lungs, which diffuse into the body.

The skin also absorbs negative ions. There are specific ion channels for them to get into the body.

What Happens When Negative Ion Counts Are Low

Negative ion therapy has been reported in the medical literature for decades, especially in the area of asthma treatment. It helps asthmatics improve.

Many people are looking for reasons why asthmatics may suddenly go from being okay to having an asthmatic attack. The attack zaps their breath and causes a lot more than fatigue.

What scientists found was that it was important to consider the negative ion theory.

When positive ions are high in the air, it’s more probable that asthmatics will have attacks.

It’s also probable that those people who have violent outbursts will have them when the positive ions are high.

Animals can also become more aggressive when the positive ions are high and the negative ion count is low.

The U.S. military discovered that if a negative ions generator or ionizer is used in the cockpit, pilots won’t suffer from fatigue. And like the Russians, their reaction time will improve.

Negative Ion Therapy Could Include Water Treatment

Some people have gone to the point of adding more negative ions to the water they drink.

In this negative ion therapy, the concept is the same: if you favor the negative ions in your water over positive ions, you will have health.

Since water is the solute that the whole body is made of and just about everything in the body dissolves in water, ionizing it can bring about an increase in health and thus energy levels.

Try Negative Ion Treatment For Yourself

You can do a simple negative ion therapy treatment session and see what happens to your fatigue. This is recommended, especially if you have unexplained fatigue.

Borrow a negative ion generator or ionizer from a friend and use it every day for a week. See what happens to your fatigue.

If positive ions are affecting you and causing your unexplainable fatigue, the negative ion therapy will lessen your fatigue.

You could also simultaneously drink water that has been ionized, but remember that the body is made of up to 75% water, which takes a lot of new ionized water to hydrate it properly.

It’s easier to just breathe in the negative ions. And banish unexplained fatigue for good.

If you’re asking the question, why is my child always tired, you certainly know that out of all different kinds of people, children are supposed to have the most energy.

You surely have noticed that children’s energy levels even beat out puppies and kittens!

Many parents have asked themselves, how can I get some of that “kids” energy?

When you notice that you have a child always tired or when you see fatigue in children, it’s time to do some investigation and get down to the bottom of it.

Whatever you do, don’t let the investigation wait, thinking to yourself, “Well, if the kids are tired, I can finally get some rest myself!” This is tempting!

Tiredness in children that accompanies tired parents means that everyone in the family has something that is off kilter, and as a parent, it’s your job to solve the problem.

Let’s Get To The Reasons For Tiredness And Fatigue In Children

And you can do it! Here are five reasons why you could have a tired child and what to do about each one of them.

1. Sleep Patterns Need Readjustment In Tired Children

The #1 reason why fatigue can be found in children is that they didn’t get enough sleep the night before, similar to adults. Their bodies are just smaller versions of yours and they feel everything you feel when you don’t get enough sleep.

The most important thing you can do is re-establish your children’s sleep cycles. Certainly setting a bedtime helps but it’s not the end-all solution since kids can easily fake that they are asleep during “Lights out!” and still end up tired the next day.

The real secret is to tire them out during the day with plenty of exercise in the sunshine, preferably while they were barefoot.

Think of what happens at the beach. One full day at the beach is a recipe for a good night of sleep for children. It’s even better than taking them for a long car ride which you can always count on to tire them out.

2. Incorrect Food Choices Means Fatigue In Children

Tiredness in children can almost always be correlated with incorrect food choices. Expect tiredness in children about 90 minutes after a meal when they eat processed foods or foods high in sugars and corn syrup.

This is a sign to you that their diet should be changed immediately. Processed foods cause a zinc deficiency, which is the #1 mineral associated with plenty of energy – or lack of energy and tiredness.

And as much as the kids won’t want to hear it, they’re going to have to eat more vegetables and real foods than processed foods.

Start your weaning and set the limits! What you do for your kids’ health now will save you grief 10 years from now. It’s a little investment but think about it.

Ten years from now don’t you want to be doing other things like taking vacations because the kids are old enough? This sure beats out the idea of staying home for months because the kids have diabetes.

3. Improper Posture

It’s easier now than ever for children to end up tired when they’re loaded down with a heavy backpack at school, sit in front of the computer screen for hours and look down constantly to text messages to friends and family.

All three of these activities will cause strain to muscles that then cause fatigue in children.

Here are a few tips about them:

• The 15% Backpack Rule
  Backpacks should not be heavier than 15% of total body weight. Ask your child to weigh his backpack before he leaves for school. Remove some weight if there’s too much in the backpack.

• Posture Patrol
  Check your child’s posture as he sits at the computer. Correcting it for an entire week is an excellent way to start re-establishing good posture. The following week, tell your child you will only check his posture twice a day and if his posture is good, throw in a reward. Then the following week go back to more frequent posture checks.

• Lift Up the Phone
  You won’t be able to stop your child from texting, but you can ask him or her to lift the phone up higher – to at least chest height so that the angle of his / her neck is better.

4. Anemia

Anemia occurs when your child isn’t getting enough nutrients to feed his red blood cells. The red blood cells then cannot get enough oxygen, and this causes tiredness in children.

But did you know that anemia isn’t only due to an iron deficiency? Other deficiencies can contribute to it, such as vitamin C, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, folic acid, and copper deficiencies.

A B complex and a little extra vitamin C is always a good addition to your child’s diet.

Another way to get in the B vitamins is to “sprout” almonds. By soaking raw almonds in a bowl of water for a few hours, the almonds sprout, and plump up to twice the size they were when raw.

The almond ‘thinks’ that you are going to plant it and it must produce a tree, so all its energy is invested into nutrient production. The B vitamin content triples in sprouted almonds.

Rinse the almonds after they are totally softened, place in a plastic bag and let the kids snack on them freely.

5. Other Serious Illnesses

There’s a chance that fatigue in children may be due to serious diseases such as congenital disorders of muscles or cancer but these are rare.

By investigating the previous four reasons why your child may be tired, you will be able to see what kind of response your child gets.

The chances are excellent that your tired children will blossom into energetic sons and daughters.

This ebook will help fill in the gaps of some of the above causes of tiredness.

Is it true that the thoughts that go through your mind can make you tired?

And if so, how can you really stop the thought bubbles from making you feel exhaustion and fatigue?

Winners in life always consider that what they’re doing may be contributing to less than spectacular results.

They are experts at monitoring their personal thoughts, which some call ‘self-talk’.

When Self-Talk Causes Tiredness, Exhaustion And Fatigue

Self-talk can be negative or positive, and when it’s negative, it’s associated with tiredness, and eventually exhaustion and fatigue.

Here’s an example:

Brenda has a situation occurring in her family where the relationships between everyone are not very good. She often calls, reporting on what is happening. “This person did this…that person did this.” She finishes the conversation with how tired she is, how bad life is, and what else may happen to her.

This victim type mindset is full of negative self-talk. She blames herself and cuts herself down for her role in these bad relationships by stating she should have done xyz action 20 years ago, but doesn’t address what she is doing today.

Brenda doesn’t realize that simple shifts in her thinking would yield plenty of energy in her life – and better relationships.

How To Turn Negativity Into Positivity

It’s important to state how to make some of these shifts in thinking, since many of us need to review them from time to time.

Shifting Negative Self-Talk to Positive Self-Talk

1. Guilt Equals Tiredness

Guilt will always produce tiredness, irritability, and even anger outbursts. If not dealt with, you can expect guilt to lead to self-denial or even self-righteousness, both which make the whole situation even worse.

You can’t hide guilt from others. Every religion has an antidote for guilt: repentance and forgiveness. These restore your soul to a clean state, and believe it or not, your energy levels will return quickly. You feel brand new, as if you have a whole new life.

Whenever you feel that you contributed to someone else’s demise, or your own demise, it’s time to repent and ask for forgiveness. Then know that the process is finished, unless you need to make amends.

Get guilt out of your life as soon as you can, not by blaming others, but by repenting. Saying you are sorry really isn’t that difficult.

2. Focus On Goodness

If you think your life is bad, or even that a situation is bad, you are focusing on badness. Whatever you focus on, you will get more of.

Want more goodness in your life or more energy? Focus on goodness and what it’s like to have more energy and you will bring it about. Your psyche is a magnet to whatever you focus on.

3. Stop Thinking Of The Worst Case Scenario

Wondering what else will happen that is bad is human – but it’s not productive. Stating out loud what could happen is even worse because your body then hears what you said, and does everything to bring it about.

Stop doing this! Have you ever noticed that when you say, “I hope abc doesn’t happen…” that it actually does happen?

You gave abc a lot of focus and energy, instead of keeping your energy to yourself. It’s no wonder why you’re tired, and why you got exactly abc to show up in your life.

The key is to catch yourself saying that something bad could happen, and then immediately correct it by adding – “and xyz (something good) could also happen.” Then give the xyz scenario more energy and more time to think about than the abc scenario.

Soon you will notice that you don’t even bring up the negative possibility at all.

Thoughts That Make Us Tired

Below is a list of some of the statements that we make or think that creates tiredness. The sooner you can catch yourself saying them, the sooner you can change them.

Try going on a fast from all these fatigue-producing statements.

1. “Oh no, I will have to do this and then that…”

Knowing you are going to have to do more work is never that pleasant. Work involves exertion and exertion leads to tiredness. The connection is pretty solid in the brain.

Telling yourself you have all this extra work to do will create exhaustion and fatigue before you get started on the job itself!

Change the statement to one of expectation of the rewards from the work.

2. “I know once someone hits 40, they fall apart.”

Once you have a belief that you will fall apart at a certain age, your mind will look for this to happen.

For example, a person who believes that falling apart occurs at 40 won’t feel any appreciable amount of tiredness until hitting 40. Then the next very day, exhaustion and fatigue could set in, and never leave – unless the mind program that created it is changed.

How about thinking, “I have abundant energy like an energizer bunny!”

3. “Not this again!”

If you catch yourself thinking this thought, you have found a loophole in your positive thinking. “Not this again!” means that grief, trouble, chaos – and tiredness, exhaustion and fatigue along with it are soon to follow.

Change this thought to “This time I’m going to break the pattern and by changing xyz, I will get a new outcome.” Now the expectancy is positive.

4. Learning something new: “I have to learn ….”

Learning isn’t always tied to tiredness and fatigue, but in many people who have had poor school experiences where they were put down or told they were stupid, learning has become a negative expectation.

That’s why they stop reading books or going to any new classes after high school graduation.

Find the joy in learning by taking fun memory classes or even speedreading. You’ll be amazed at how this one skill will take you far in life, especially since nothing in life ever stays the same!

5. “I look terrible today!”

If you believe you look bad, you’ll begin to act badly, too. And if you believe you look haggard, you can’t help but feel tired.

The antidote is to start taking better care of yourself, and maybe even consider some of the latest anti-aging techniques on the market.

Plastic surgeons know that just by changing the way that someone looks, the person’s self-esteem improves. We see it on the makeover television shows all the time! When self-esteem soars, so does the person’s energy levels!

There are many causes of tiredness and fatigue. Learn more about the topic by getting the ebook, End Tiredness Program.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Eliminating Tiredness in Your Life!

You’ll be amazed at some of the facts in this book.

When you’ve been to the doctor and no one can seem to tell you why you have extreme fatigue and tiredness, you’ll have to start investigating causes of tiredness on your own. Some of the reasons why we are tired are pretty obvious, while others aren’t.

Surprisingly, some of the common causes of tiredness may not have even been evaluated from a medical perspective. These are the ones that we are calling uncommon causes for purposes of this article.

For example, if the medical doctor orders a Complete Blood Count (CBC) or a Chem Screen (Liver Profile), every lab index could be within normal limits. However, what wasn’t looked for includes the following on this list below.

12 Uncommonly Considered Causes Of Tiredness, Exhaustion And Fatigue

1. Specific Vitamin And Mineral Deficiencies

Many vitamin and mineral deficiencies will cause fatigue and tiredness, even exhaustion. For example, vitamin D deficiency isn’t usually associated with tiredness, but the vitamin is essential for the immune system to work properly.

Thus, your body’s defenses are lowered and you are more susceptible to infections, especially low-grade ones. Low-grade infections are ones undetectable by medical tests because they haven’t blossomed into a full-blown infection yet.

Nevertheless, they are still zapping your energy levels and making you tired.

2. Hypothyroidism

Unless a specific test for all the thyroid hormones is run at the laboratory, you won’t know what the status of your thyroid really is.

A regular CBC and Chem Screen are not enough to uncover what’s happening with your thyroid gland.

3. Effects Of Prescription Or Non-Prescription Medications

You’d be surprised at how many medications cause tiredness, exhaustion and fatigue.

To find out if yours could be the culprits in stealing your energy, go online and read a full disclosure of the side effects of any medications you are taking.

Many medications in the statin group are responsible for causing lack of energy because they create a CoQ 10 deficiency. Adding this supplement to your other supplements may be a temporary solution until the medication can be changed.

4. Pregnancy

Some women don’t realize that they are pregnant until the third month or longer! During these three months the fetus is growing at record growth rates and using your energy reserves to do so.

Pregnancy could be an uncommon cause of tiredness. You will always need some extra vitamins and minerals while pregnant. Being pregnant can be a joyful time.

5. Beginning Stages Of Urinary Tract Infection

In the beginning stages of a urinary tract infection, you will feel tiredness. This is because the white blood cells produce cytokines that slow you down.

It’s an example of how the body is smarter than us, since some people will keep going until they drop!

6. Food Allergies

Food allergies cause a lot more than sniffly noses and sneezing. Tiredness, and even exhaustion and fatigue are common symptoms of food allergies and they are uncommon causes of tiredness.

These symptoms can show up immediately after a food is eaten, or up to four days later. Allergies are always a drain on the body’s energy levels, and on the immune system.

A simple way to find out what you’re allergic to is to order an IgG test for food allergies. This can be found online and ordered without a doctor’s permission.

7. Gas Leak In The Home

A very small break in the connector hose seal is enough to leak gas into the home. Sometimes people notice a faint smell of gas when they pass their stove. This is a sign of a gas leak.

Gas leaks cause tiredness, exhaustion and fatigue and eventually death because they replace oxygen in the blood with carbon monoxide. Pay attention to your surroundings; this uncommon cause of tiredness can be resolved easily.

8. Parasite Infections

Have you been to Mexico or another country lately? It’s too easy to pick up a parasite in the water or from the soil.

Sometimes parasite infections can cause diarrhea for a few days and then the symptoms are gone but the parasite still remains. Parasites can move to other organs as well.

The answer is really to systematically detoxify the internal organs with colon, liver, kidney, and other organ cleanses.

9. Low Potassium Levels

Have you been sweating a lot lately?

Your electrolyte levels may be low and a cause of tiredness and fatigue. Eating more green vegetables can help restore them.

10. Unhealthy Eating Habits, Such As High Glycemic Index Meals

In the 1980s, the Glycemic Index was released to the public to help them control their blood sugar levels a lot better. This index has to do with carbohydrate foods.

Certain foods caused the blood sugar levels to skyrocket after a meal, and then crash back down to low blood sugar levels. These foods were given a Glycemic Index rating.

During the highs and the lows, people would experience bouts of tiredness, exhaustion and fatigue. Check out some books on the topic. Your lab tests from the doctor may indicate a “normal” blood sugar level during fasting, but the “normal” levels are actually quite questionable.

11. High Mold Levels In The Home From Water Damage

The human body can put up with a certain level of molds in the air, but once the level is exceeded, there’s a drain on the immune system.

This causes tiredness as your body tries to overcome the molds that can cause infections in the body.

Don’t take these molds lightly because someone who is healthy can be totally disabled in a few months when living in an environment with a high mold count.

12. Constipation

Most doctors don’t believe there is any connection between what’s happening in your toilet and your health. It’s a crying shame, because no one feels energetic when they are constipated. Just ask anyone who is on painkillers, which stop colon motility.

Your bowels should be moving the contents out at least twice daily. See what happens to your tiredness once this is corrected.

Check out the ebook, End Tiredness Program and discover even more causes of tiredness and what to do about them. Why be tired for the rest of your life?

If you’re tired, have you ever stopped to think that possibly the reason why you are always tired is because of the friends that surround you?

Very few people consider that friends could be contributing to your tiredness and fatigue. However, the situation is real enough for thousands of people, and it could be affecting you, too.

It Does No Good To Blame People

People come in all different shapes and sizes. All are on their own learning curve in life. Even though some people are privileged to be wise before their time, they still have to learn:

• How to form relationships with others
• How to operate in life with high ethics
• How to get ahead without stepping on others’ toes
• How to set goals and accomplish them
• How to accept achievements with grace
• How to stay healthy
• And a number of other things

Going through this learning curve means mistakes are made. And you may be the recipient of these mistakes.

Often, a person makes the same mistake over and over again, and it’s easy to develop an emotional wall against another person. This uses up energy and leaves us tired, and even exhausted.

Who Could Be Causing You A Loss Of Energy?

Here are a few situations that will explain this better:

1. You have a doctor who goes on a tirade because you are using alternative medicine, or not taking your medication! This situation could leave a scar on your soul, let alone leave you always tired.

But you must forgive. The doctor hasn’t yet learned that alternative medicine provides a supplementary source of healing that makes his own type of healing work better.

2. You have a domineering parent who seems to degrade you whenever you
offer a new idea. This can be a soul-scarring series of events, leaving you in a state of exhaustion and fatigue!

Again, forgiveness is in order. Your parent hasn’t learned yet that every idea is always a potential open door to a brighter future.

3. You have a friend who sees like through a looking glass of negativity. Your friend hasn’t found the real joy in life yet. In the interactions with your friend, you notice you are always tired, never energized after being with that friend.

Lessening these people’s learning curves involves psychologically demanding methods, although you could offer them suggestions from time to time, and hope that they catch on quickly. In the meantime, their actions are affecting you.

Stop Punting Others’ Negativity

As long as you feel that you have to keep punting away people’s negativity before entering into their presence and are continually “on the lookout” for their bad attitudes, you are using up an incredible amount of energy to do this.

Think about the excess worrying you have to do – and strategic planning to avoid the negativity – before you go see your doctor, talk to your parent again, or spend time with that negative friend. It’s similar to dealing with an alcoholic.

Many people have to consult with others about what they’re going to say to these people! You could spend hours of your day on exactly that. Others lose sleep over it. It’s common to have chronic exhaustion and fatigue as a result.

The longer these people in your life have these bad attitudes, the longer you have to deal with the situation, and the more energy it’s going to take to shield yourself from the negativity. Moreover, their negativity is polluting your lovely free spirit.

Negativity Affects Your Productivity On The Job, Too

One woman, Robin, mentioned that she willingly put up with a friend’s negative attitude about her success. There were days during the week when she was much more fatigued than usual and didn’t know why.

Robin knew her friend was in the wrong, but nevertheless, the woman was her friend. As her business success grew, Robin felt better and better about herself.

Things came to a head one day when Robin’s friend blew up at her, calling her ugly names and even accusing Robin of thinking she was superior. That was when Robin had to draw the line.

She stopped returning her friend’s threatening phone calls and stopped putting energy into being polite and friendly in a hostile situation. She ended the friendship.

You’ll never guess what happened next.

Robin’s business tripled in income the next month and stayed at that level the following month.

Interpreting The Results Is Easy

Do you see what happened here? Robin didn’t have to spend any energy on strategically dancing her way around her friend’s bad attitude anymore.

It was as if a big weight was lifted off her shoulders. Now she could focus on her business without any nagging worries about this person.

Her fatigue left her and she was happier. Her marriage even improved.

Whenever You Are Exhausted, It’s Time To Evaluate Who You Were Around

Often we have a lot of control over the people who surround us. What friends are dragging you down because of their continual bad attitudes?

Are you really receiving enough benefits from having that friend in your life, or would your life improve if they were gone?

Bad attitudes in people are just as prevalent as good attitudes in people. When you’re around those with bad attitudes, your life is full of strife that you may not even be aware of.

Bad News: Bad Attitudes Are Endless

Have you heard the story about the dad who kicked his 12-year-old son who hit his 10-year-old sister who pulled the hair of her younger 8-year-old sister who kicked the dog that bit the neighbor?

Bad attitudes don’t stop; they just get passed along to others unless you make a point to not pass them on.

On the other hand, when you’re around those with good attitudes, your life flourishes beyond measure. And you suddenly have unlimited amounts of energy. It’s well worth it.

But there’s something else you should know about this topic: what to do when the negative people are family members you can’t avoid.

How To Beat Tiredness, Exhaustion And Fatigue

The answer is simple. Limit the amount of time you spend with these negative people and limit what you say to them. Don’t share deep heartfelt secrets when you know they’ll cut down your ideas.

This way you can beat fatigue and lack of energy from a social perspective.

There are other ways to beat fatigue. For a guide that lists many more solutions, you must check out the ebook, End Tiredness Program.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Eliminating Tiredness from Your Life. It’s a real winner and I know you will love it.

Are you always wondering to yourself, why am I so tired?

Do you believe that you should get tired as you get older? Is aging a factor in being exhausted?

Is it possible to have more energy as you get older, instead of less?

Are the symptoms you feel related to symptoms of fatigue?

Do you also wonder what the causes of fatigue are in your life?

All these are excellent questions for discussion when you have a case of fatigue and tiredness, or even exhaustion.

To start solving your fatigue, it’s best to start with this three-step approach.

1. Are You Really Fatigued?

The first thing to think about is what are the symptoms of fatigue and if they even apply to you.

Below is a list of the most common symptoms of fatigue, ones that are experienced by many people.

Symptoms Of Fatigue

• Tiredness after doing regular daily activities
• Sleepiness during the day
• Tiredness after sleepless night
• Lack of endurance
• Lack of concentration ability
• Noise sensitivity
• Shortness of breath after exercise
• Muscle soreness
• Tiredness that lasts for several days or longer
• Tiredness that restricts normal daily activities
• Tiredness after a good night of sleep

When you wake up in the morning, you should feel rested and ready to start a brand new day.

Looking at these symptoms of fatigue, do you see that you are a victim of at least a few of them?

2. Why Am I So Tired? Causes Of Fatigue

The second thing to think about is the answer to the question, why am I so tired?

Here is a list of 12 of the most common causes of fatigue:

12 Top Common Causes of Fatigue

• Infection somewhere in the body
• Arthritis in the joints
• Mental overwork
• Physical overwork
• Recently went through a major catastrophe or chaotic event
• Recovered from surgery
• Vitamin and mineral depletion
• Recently had a medical illness
• Poor sleeping habits
• Depression
• Sleeping on a bad mattress or with improper pillows
• Aging fast

Do you have any of these causes on this list? If so, begin attacking each cause with a specific plan to overcome it. This will assist in eliminating your fatigue.

Does Aging Cause Fatigue?

That last cause of fatigue – aging fast – needs to be explained. Why would aging be related to tiredness, fatigue and even exhaustion?

It’s because as you age, the body finds it more and more difficult to heal itself and regenerate your tissues overnight. Your Growth Hormone levels are considerably less than more youthful levels, as are your levels of the hormone DHEA.

These two hormones contribute to you looking spry and feeling great no matter what age you are. They speed up repair of tissues, metabolic rate, and keep the level of collagen in your skin high, plumping up the skin.

In fact, some experts say that your levels once you pass the age of 45 should be equal to those when you were in your twenties.

With better muscle tone, you are able to look in the mirror and say, “Wow! I look great today!” – even though you are in your 60s! Without sagging skin, a person at any age will look their best; one thing that makes anyone feel fatigued is seeing themselves look tired!

The aging reaction is also related to the production of compounds called AGEs, or advanced glycation endproducts. These are chemical fragments of other compounds produced in the body.

AGEs are also produced from foods, especially foods that are heated to high temperatures during cooking or processing, or foods that are browned.

Thus, you can actually start to reverse your own aging process by stopping the production of the AGEs that make you look tired and feel tired and fatigued.

There’s something to be said about considering cosmetic surgery – when you look your best, you start acting your best, and that means that your energy levels naturally improve.

3. Decrease Your Ages In The Body

Here’s a list of some actions you can take to stop these nasty terrorist-like compounds from aging every organ in your body:

How To Stop Ages Production And Increase Your Energy Levels

1. Stop eating boxed cereals. These foods are highly processed and high in AGEs.

2. Eat more vegetables and some fruits. These foods are protective against AGEs that come into the body from foods or AGEs produced in the body.

3. Stop eating processed foods such as hot dogs, luncheon meats, pizza, and other fast foods. Fast foods are the worst AGE offenders.

Remember that if you eat fast foods, you will look like you are in the fast lane of life. It’s just not worth it.

4. Eliminate foods that are cooked in the microwave or cooked at high temperatures for long periods of time. The longer a food is cooked at high temps, the more AGEs it will contain. And that means fatigue for you. Cook the old-fashioned way and live longer, with more energy.

5. Take your antioxidants. Vitamins A, C, E, selenium, and zinc will help neutralize AGEs production, and that means more energy for you.

6. Try juicing fresh vegetables and fruits. The extra enzymes in the fresh juices neutralize the AGEs to an extent and contribute to the elimination of fatigue.

These are only some of the many causes of fatigue and some of the things that you can do to combat fatigue.

You’ll find more in one of my favorite ebooks, End Tiredness Program.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Eliminating Tiredness in Your Life. This book goes into a lot more depth on many of the causes of fatigue and what to do about them.

I believe you will love it!

It’s easy to get used to be tired all the time.

People who suffer from chronic tiredness often believe there is not much they can do about it.

However, a close look at some of your everyday habits may reveal that you have at least a one bad habit that is contributing to your feeling of tiredness.

See if any of the following apply to you.

1) Sugar Overload

A high sugar or high carbohydrate diet contributes to tiredness in a few ways. First, carbohydrates, particularly the refined type found in desserts, candy and sugary drinks, sends your blood sugar soaring and then crashing, causing you to feel tired.

Your solution might be to continue the cycle with another cola or candy bar, but this is actually counterproductive.

If you want to sustain energy throughout the day, choose more snacks that contain protein, such as nuts, peanut butter, cheese or yogurt.

You will also do better with complex carbohydrates (whole grains) than with refined carbohydrates like white rice, white flour and pasta.

2) Caffeine

Caffeine is another easy fix when you feel tired. You may have conditioned yourself to believe that you can’t function without your morning cup of coffee, and maybe you need another in the late morning and yet another in the mid-afternoon.

Caffeine is indeed a stimulant, but like sugar, it will send you up and then crashing down. Caffeine also stimulates the release of the “fight or flight” hormone adrenaline, which causes anxiety and a burst of energy that will burn out fast.

It may be difficult to wean yourself off of caffeine, but it can be done.

Start with black tea, which has some caffeine but less than coffee. From there try to switch to decaffeinated coffee or tea. Some herbal teas can also be energizing without caffeine.

Teas like red zinger, ginger or licorice tea have flavors that provide a “kick” without the adrenaline rush. Be careful with licorice tea if you have high blood pressure though.

3) Not Moving Enough

A sedentary lifestyle will drain you of energy as well. If you sit behind a desk all day, you may not realize that your mental fatigue has become physical.

While it may be tempting to take a nap or sit on the couch watching television after a mentally draining day at work, in reality that will just perpetuate your tiredness. Instead, get up and move – even if it’s just for ten or fifteen minutes.

When you feel lethargic after sitting for long hours, try some light weight lifting, take a brisk walk or dance for a bit to your favorite music.

You can do this any time throughout the day whenever you start to feel drained instead of reaching for a sugary snack or another cup of coffee.

Even ten minutes of moving will give you more energy than ten minutes of not moving.

4) Negativity And Complaining

Do you see your glass as half full or half empty?

Chronic negativity and complaining is practically an epidemic in our stress-filled modern world, but many people are not even aware of how negative they can be.

You may believe that you have a reason for your negativity. After all (for example), your job is boring, your spouse doesn’t spend time with you and you have too many things to do in a day.

Most of us can find things to complain about, but if negative thoughts are not balanced with positive thinking and uplifting emotions, you will end up feeling very drained and tired.

Similarly, if you find that the people around you are chronically negative, consider spending less time with them. The energy they are putting out is toxic and will steal your energy quickly.

This doesn’t mean you should not have compassion for your friends or loved ones if they are going through a hard time. It just means that you need to make enough time to recharge and focus on the things in life that are positive and that make you feel good.

5) Burnout

It’s hard to have energy for things you don’t enjoy.

Do you enjoy your job or the activities that you do each day?

If you find that you are suffering from job burnout or you’re in a rut, this may be the reason for you tiredness. Maybe it’s time for a change.

Even if you can’t change jobs right away or if you have daily responsibilities that you can’t escape, you can try to find something new and interesting to incorporate into your daily or work routine.

Ask your boss if you can work on a new project or do some volunteer work during the day.

If you’re a student or stay-at-home mom, maybe taking an art, yoga or aerobics class will give you something to look forward to. Learn something new!

Everyone is different, but if you want to avoid burnout that can lead to chronic fatigue, it’s up to you to decide what will give you more energy.

There are many ways to deal with fatigue. It’s not a simple problem.

You will be more successful in increasing your energy permanently if you learn all you can about the causes of fatigue and get as many ideas for overcoming it as possible.

One way to do this is by reading the “End Tiredness Program” ebook.

If you are tired all the time and have no idea why, check your medicine cabinet. There are many medications that cause tiredness.

Not taking any prescription drugs? Then consider how often you take over-the-counter medications that have tiredness as a side effect.

You probably take these remedies without a second thought, thinking that if they don’t require a prescription, it can’t hurt to use them.

But the truth is that even over-the-counter medications have side effects, and it’s quite possible that you’re taking one that is making you tired.

Drugs That Steal Nutrients

There are many prescription and non-prescription medications that cause tiredness because they deprive your body of certain nutrients, either by preventing you from absorbing them or by interfering with their production.

For example, many painkillers inhibit enzymes in the body that help create an important B-vitamin called folate. Folate and other B-complex vitamins are needed for energy and the production of the feel-good chemical serotonin.

If you take aspirin, ibuprofen or naproxen on a regular basis and feel tired all the time, it may be that these painkillers are to blame.

If you suspect that this may be the case, try taking a folate supplement or increasing your intake of foods rich in folate (also known as folic acid).

Examples of folate-rich foods are leafy greens (escarole, spinach, kale, broccoli, etc.), fortified cereals (look for 100% folate or folic acid on the label), lentils and beans.

Birth control pills are another possible source of vitamin B depletion. The estrogen in birth control pills is believed to cause this depletion, particularly of B-12 and B-6, which are both involved in mood and energy.

If you take birth control pills, also be sure to eat enough foods that are rich in B-vitamins. Again, leafy greens top the list.

Allergies, Allergy Medications and Fatigue

If you suffer from allergies, you probably feel tired when you are exposed to whatever you are allergic to.

But if you take certain medications to control your allergies, it may be that the “cure” is just as bad as the allergy itself. Many allergy remedies, especially over-the-counter antihistamines, cause drowsiness.

If you take allergy medications, look for an ingredient called diphenhydramine that is often found in these products.

Diphenhydramine works by binding to histamine receptors, which is a fancy way of saying that they prevent histamines from doing what they do – causing allergy symptoms like sneezing, watery eyes and itching.

However, diphenhydramine also binds to receptors for a substance called acetylcholine. When this happens, there is excess acetylcholine, which has a sedative effect, in your system. As a result, taking medications that contain diphenhydramine often causes tiredness.

Other Prescription Medications That Cause Tiredness

Blood pressure medications, anti-anxiety medications and antidepressants are among the more commonly prescribed prescription medications that can cause tiredness. If you take any of these and feel tired, talk to your doctor about adjusting the dose.

Sometimes, that’s all it takes to stop the fatigue that goes with taking these drugs. It’s also possible that your body will adjust to the medication over time and you will stop feeling tired after awhile even if you keep taking the same dose.

A third possibility is that you will need to switch to a different medication for the condition.

Other Ways to Fight Medication-Related Tiredness

If you take a medication that causes tiredness and adjusting the dose or switching to another type of medication for the condition doesn’t help, ask yourself whether the tiredness is worse than the condition the medication is treating.

Obviously in many cases, such as high blood pressure, clinical depression and anxiety disorders, it is better to be tired than to suffer the symptoms of the condition itself.

In fact, these many of these conditions cause fatigue as well, so going off the medication entirely may not help your lack of energy.

Instead, you can focus on ways to increase your energy in general. You can find many suggestions for increasing energy and eliminating tiredness in the “End Tiredness Program” ebook.

This is a comprehensive resource for eliminating tiredness no matter what the cause, including tiredness that is a side effect of prescription or over-the-counter medications.
