Stress, Fatigue and Loss of Energy

Fatigue and loss of energy are also very common complaints. Continuing chronic stress may often be an underlying factor. Stress in itself is tiring, may deplete certain nutrients and therefore lead to imbalances in the body. Often, the fatigue and loss of energy is exacerbated by irregular eating patterns and lack of insufficiently nutritious meals to cope with ongoing stress.

Fatigue and loss of energy may also be the result of ongoing undetected food intolerances, a slow metabolism, improper digestion and absorption of nutrients or the result of parasites, unwanted bacteria, yeast or fungus in the digestive tract. Fatigue could also be the natural consequence of not getting enough sleep either because clients cannot fall asleep or because their sleep is interrupted. Nutrition may play a role in achieving better sleep patterns, giving clients the stamina needed to adhere to their nutritional and supplement programme.

At NutriFoods, we spend a lot of time gathering information about each of our clients in order to get as full a picture of their health as possible. By adopting this approach, NutriFoods endeavours to get to the bottom of energy issues. Nutritional and supplement programmes aim to be easy to adhere to bearing in mind that clients who lack energy may not be keen on going to great lengths when it comes to food shopping and preparation. Dietary supplements may play an important part in fatigue cases enriching a client’s diet with nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, fiber, fatty acids or amino acids, that may not be consumed in sufficient amounts or which may not have been digested and/or absorbed properly for some time preceding the onset of the fatigue. Laboratory tests can often be helpful in finding some of the factors that may contribute to a lack of energy given the broad range of possible reasons.
