Tiredness is predictable when you know what is happening inside the body and understand a little physiology.

And for that reason, it’s important to understand something called AGEs, which stands for advanced glycation endproducts.

You may not have heard them mentioned yet on Dr. Oz, but you will soon.

Information on AGEs has been published in medical studies for at least the last decade.

By knowing about something in medical science before most of the public knows about it, you actually gain credibility in the eyes of your friends and colleagues.

What Are AGEs?

AGEs are to aging as vitamins are to health. AGEs are chemical and molecular fragments from food that cause damage in the body to every cell, tissue, organ and DNA.

And it’s not just a little damage to the body that these cellular terrorists are causing – it’s a lot!

It’s as if these AGEs are calling for jihad inside your cells.

And if that’s the case, you better know where they are coming from. Advanced glycation endproducts originate from foods that are highly processed.

For example, if you compare two foods – rice grains and puffed rice, there’s a world of a difference in AGEs content of each of them.

Rice grains have a very low level of AGEs in their raw state. But puffed rice, such as that puffed for cereal, is full of AGEs.

Why AGEs Are So Bad For Your Health

What happens to the AGEs after you eat them is not pretty. The AGEs go after any weakened tissue and then combine with the nearby proteins to incapacitate them.

But they don’t stop there. While some are going to the weakened tissues of your body, such as old injured areas that never healed, other AGEs are headed for the healthy tissues. Their mission is to slowly take down the healthy tissue, one protein at a time.

AGEs can actually do this because they gnarl the proteins. Have you ever thought of what happens to a protein that is heated to high temperatures? It is inactivated.

Instead of having an intact structure, the high heat starts curling up the protein. At first only a few segments are curled and dysfunctional, but before long, the entire protein is worthless to the body.

If one of your organs has 100,000 proteins in it, and the AGEs attack 10% of the proteins, you’ll have 90,000 functioning proteins left.

This may not be enough damage to shut down the function of the organ, and the AGEs will attack again and again. Meanwhile, you may notice the feeling of tiredness.

AGEs Attack When You’re Healthy Or Weakened

At 60% of the function – or a higher percentage depending on the organ – you will feel symptoms.

Tiredness will be extreme – and only one of the many symptoms that occur.

At 40% of the function, you’ll start going into organ failure because of the damage to the organ.

The AGEs will continue to attack. At 40% of normal functioning, you will have massive tiredness.

After eating a highly processed food with a high level of AGEs in it, the AGEs start causing damage as soon as they enter the body. But they don’t stop.

Once they cause gnarled proteins, it’s as if other AGEs are called to the site of the attack and further damage occurs. As the AGEs are broken down, they sometimes even become more powerful, causing even more damage.

It’s as if the AGEs are like continual explosions that get worse and worse as time goes on.

What Foods Have AGEs?

Eating foods with AGEs is one of the fastest ways to age and cause yourself degenerative diseases. But the opposite can save your life.

By simply cutting out the following foods, you can stop the progression of disease in your body:

▸ Highly processed foods
▸ Luncheon meats (highly processed)
▸ Boxed cereals
▸ Pizza
▸ Hot dogs
▸ Sausages
▸ Broiled meats (very high temperatures used in cooking)
▸ Canned goods heated to high temperatures during processing
▸ Other foods cooked at high temperatures

The foods with the highest AGEs are hot dogs, pizza, condensed milk, and boxed cereals.

Can you live without them? If you can, you can eliminate an awful lot of tiredness; and bring in energy, vitality and health. It will be well worth it.

What Foods Are Low In AGEs?

What will you eat? Foods in their natural state.

Here’s a short list:

▸ Slow-cooked meats and fish
▸ Vegetables boiled, steamed or fried only for a short 3 minutes
▸ Fruits in their raw state
▸ Beans and legumes cooked slowly over several hours
▸ Nuts in their raw state
▸ Dairy products
▸ Grains cooked at low temperatures
▸ Oils that are cold pressed

Can you live on a diet like this that decreases AGEs? Try it for a week and see what happens to your tiredness.

Commit To Eliminating Your Tiredness Symptoms And Extreme Fatigue

Chronic fatigue symptoms can ruin your life in many ways that are related to how the symptoms manifest.

Here is a list of some of the ways that chronic fatigue can manifest:

• A person with chronic fatigue symptoms will often stop talking to their friends and family in a positive manner.

• They’ll talk about how tired they are.

• They make excuses for not participating in fun activities with friends.

• They sound like they’re not excited about anything in life.

This isn’t exactly a recipe for a good friendship! Instead, it ends up separating people. No one wants to be around someone who is a downer!

• If you have tiredness, extreme fatigue or have been diagnosed with chronic fatigue, you probably find it difficult to be upbeat.

• You have to drag yourself up out of bed.

• You often have difficulty sleeping.

• You don’t feel like having sexual relationships with your partner.

These symptoms start to take a toll on your work, your home life and even how you view yourself.

I feel for you, but at the same time realize that in reality, you really have no other solution except to overcome your tiredness and extreme fatigue.

What Causes Chronic Fatigue Symptoms?

There are many causes of chronic fatigue symptoms. Below is a list of a few of them:

1. Environmental Toxicity

The environmental toxins can accumulate in the body. These toxic elements such as mercury, lead, aluminum, bismuth, arsenic, antimony, uranium, cadmium, and others have been clearly linked with chronic fatigue symptoms.

The chronic fatigue symptoms are a red flag to your body that it’s time to do something about what’s happening. The only problem is that you don’t know what’s happening unless you do some medical testing.

One way to find out what’s happening is to get a hair analysis test ordered by a health practitioner. This test lists about a dozen different elements in the environment that can jump up to levels of toxicity that account for your fatigue.

The test will tell you what your levels of these environmental toxins are. As soon as you can remove the high levels of toxic elements, you will start to feel better.

2. Allergies Or Food Sensitivities

Allergies to food or food sensitivities is a major cause of problems with extreme fatigue or tiredness. What happens is that foods trigger off immune system reactions in the body that use up a lot of energy and leave you with tiredness.

It would take forever to figure out what foods you are allergic to or foods that cause sensitivities. The problem is that foods can cause delayed reactions in the body.

You can eat a pear today and have a reaction to it three days from now. If you’re eating more than just pears in your diet, it’s difficult to isolate what is causing the problem.

The easiest way to discover what foods are the culprits is to order an ALCAT test. This test is quite accurate for food insensitivities. The test itself is a simple blood test and can test a few hundred different foods.

Rotating the foods that you are not sensitive to is then the solution. This way you won’t create any new food problems.

The best part of it all is that within about four to five days, there is a total change in the person who has had chronic fatigue symptoms.

This is because the foods that caused problems have been removed and there are no more immune system reactions. The inflammation is gone in the body. And that brings on a wonderful state of being, and state of health.

3. Not Enough Sleep

When you have chronic fatigue symptoms, it’s easy to get stuck in a pattern of “I’ll do what I can when I can do it.” This type of attitude only enables you to stay locked in the arms of the health issue.

Re-establishing sleep patterns is very important for overcoming extreme fatigue or tiredness.

Everyone who doesn’t get a good night of sleep – whether or not they have chronic fatigue syndrome – will end up being tired. Thus, you have to force yourself NOT to take naps during the day, which quickly throws off your whole sleep cycle.

The minute that you start nodding off, it’s time to get up and take the dog for a walk, take a shower to invigorate you, or do something that grabs your interest and makes you happy.

This is a vital step in recovering from chronic fatigue syndrome symptoms.

After you get started with these three methods to start recovering your life from chronic fatigue symptoms, it’s time to dig deep and read as much as you can on the topic.

One great idea is to get the ebook, End Tiredness Program, and finding out a lot more details. It’s a good second step to creating a victory over extreme tiredness and fatigue.

Brain fatigue or mind fatigue is a feeling of mental tiredness.

More specifically, brain fatigue can result in these types of brain fatigue symptoms that are identified in different circumstances.

Mind Fatigue/Brain Fatigue/ Symptoms

Here’s a short list of some of the brain fatigue symptoms:

▸ You can’t seem to make decisions. Your head is spinning with too much information and your brain can’t clear out the important details from the non-important details.

▸ You’re sleepy, due to no real reason. Or on the other hand, you’re sleepy due to the alcohol you just drank. Alcohol causes brain fatigue by increasing oxidation.

▸ You find it difficult to read or ponder difficult topics.

▸ You feel that you are just spinning your wheels in life.

Brain Fog Is Not The Same Thing As Brain Fatigue

Brain fog is a little different. Brain fog is a feeling of cloudiness over the brain that makes one slow down the thinking processes.

You have to hear someone repeat what they’re saying four or five times to “get it.” You have to write down things so that you won’t forget them.

Brain fog can be due to food allergies, or mold exposure.

When the food allergies are gone, or the mold counts drop substantially, a person with brain fog due to these reasons can feel focused and have the ability to concentrate on any subject. It’s a life-transforming event.

Brain Scientists Learn About Brain Fatigue

Your brain is quite complicated, and can handle both simple and complicated activities. Simple activities would include things such as recognizing things.

For example, recognizing that a car is coming toward you at a high speed is a simple activity whereas getting out of the way of the car is considered a decision-making activity that involves a higher functioning of activity level.

When you have brain fatigue, the speed at which you do the simple activities slows down and the higher order thinking of more complicated activities can come to a halt.

You feel paralyzed to move on toward making a decision or move toward taking steps to achieve a goal.

In one University of Minnesota study reported in Scientific American, researchers found that the brain actually uses energy to make a mental decision.

What’s Behind This Brain Fatigue?

To answer this question, one has to go back to the basic brain anatomy and physiology. There are three ways you can overcome brain fatigue.

1. Consider Feeding Your Brain Right

What’s the number 1 fuel of the brain? Glucose.

Thus if you’re suffering from blood glucose fluctuations all day long by eating junk foods or incomplete meals, you can expect a lot of brain fatigue to occur.

Actually, you wouldn’t even be able to make the decision that this is happening to you since you have brain fatigue! Someone else would have to make the decision for you.

2. Dehydration Is Your Brain’s Enemy

What else does the brain need? Water.

Without water, hundreds of reactions in the body come to a standstill. The easy solution is to drink water and do it all day long. But how are you going to decide that if you have brain fatigue right now?

How can you sit down and map out a plan of what you’re going to accomplish and how you can get a few quarts of water into your body each day if you have brain fatigue?

Just in case you do have brain fatigue, here’s the easiest way to do that:

When you get up in the morning, drink 3 glasses water immediately.
This will reset your thirst mechanism for the entire day.

3. We All Need Rewards

What else does the brain need? Rewards.

Surprisingly, in one study, researchers in England found that cyclists who rinsed their mouth with carbohydrate drinks during cycling, they cycled faster and had greater cardiovascular efficiency than those who drank water.

However, their feelings about the effort they were expending were about the same as those who drank water.

The cyclists’ MRI scans found that they were perceiving the carbohydrate drink as a reward. And this allowed their muscles to do twice as much work.

Now this one finding makes a lot of sense. Why do we drag ourselves out of bed in the morning? It could be that we dread the day’s activities.

There’s no reward associated with another day of getting pummeled with new work projects, screaming kids, or problems at work.

On the other hand, what do we do if we know that at 5 p.m. our favorite show is coming on television? We suddenly start racing around the home at 4 p.m. to get our work done.

What caused the switch in fatigue levels? It was the hope of a reward.

It’s the same thing with mental fatigue. If you can give yourself rewards for doing things, you can beat mental fatigue.

Hate doing housework? Work in some type of reward for it and you’ll soon see how housework won’t be contributing to your mental or physical fatigue anymore.

Now that you have three examples of how to overcome brain fatigue, which one will you initiate first? Whichever one makes the most sense to you about your mind fatigue is the one to go with.
