Do you feel tired often, although you regularly get eight hours of sleep at night? There are many reasons for constant tiredness. Not only lack of sleep can lead to fatigue, but other circumstances also influence your level of exhaustion – even if you sleep the recommended seven to eight hours every night. These are the leading causes that can underlie constant fatigue.
Anyone who doesn’t have enough iron in his or her body will quickly notice that he or she lacks strength, perseverance and the ability to concentrate. Iron deficiency causes less oxygen to be transported to the muscles and other cells of the body.
Eat iron-rich foods such as legumes, oatmeal, eggs, nuts, spinach, whole-grain rye bread, or lean beef. Combine them with foods rich in vitamin C (e.g., citrus fruits, broccoli, rosehip, black currant, bell peppers, or Brussels sprouts and kale).
Vitamin C makes it easier for the body to absorb iron. In addition, you should have your family doctor check if you have an iron deficiency!
