Answer 2

2. Take some exercise
Many people feel too exhausted to start doing any exercise. However, in the long run, regular exercise will make you feel less tired and more energetic. So what can you do about this?

The best answer is to start with a small amount of exercise - it doesn't matter how little, as long as it is regular. You can then slowly increase the amount you do over a period of weeks or months, depending on what you can tolerate. You need to start with something really easy which you can do regularly - every day, if possible. Over time, you can increase the amount of time you exercise without increasing the intensity, aiming at half an hour a day (divided if necessary).

Walking is the easiest exercise to try, but any exercise that you enjoy will do. Many people like to swim or cycle regularly. What you are trying to do is to gradually improve your fitness and strength. You may also find it useful to get advice from someone who knows how to help unfit or ill people to get fit.

Once you are managing half an hour a day, you should gradually increase the intensity of your exercise so that you start to get a bit out of breath.

If you find that you are doing too much, and feeling worse, don't give up! Carry on with some regular exercise, perhaps for a shorter time each day. Don't do anything more energetic until you have got used to the amount of exercise you are doing at the moment.

3. Cut out caffeine
Gradually stop having all caffeine drinks over about a three week period. Everyone knows that coffee and tea contain caffeine, but watch out! There are many other drinks and products that have caffeine in them, such as energy and cola drinks, some painkillers, and energy boosting pills. Some herbal remedies also contain a lot of caffeine. If you are in any doubt, read the ingredients list on the packaging.

Try to stay off caffeine completely for a month, to see if you feel better without it. You may find that stopping caffeine gives you headaches. If this happens, just cut down more slowly the amount of caffeine you are drinking. Stop eating chocolate if you eat it every day. Chocolate contains stimulants.

4. Sort out your weight problems
If you are overweight, you will feel a lot better if you lose some weight gradually. A crash diet is not helpful and in fact can worsen fatigue. Apart from a diet, the best way to lose weight is to gradually do more activities and exercise.

If you are too thin, you will not recover your full energy unless you start to get back to your normal weight. By doing this you can start to re-build your muscles and your strength.

5. Plan your day/week
Try and plan your day and your week. Try to make sure that you don't have any really hectic, tiring days. Organise it so that you do a little every day. If you cram everything into one day, you may be too exhausted to do anything for the rest of the week. Try to do your chores when you think you will have the most energy.

6. Have realistic expectations
Be kind to yourself. If you have been tired for a long time, don't expect to be back to your normal self overnight. Set realistic goals for yourself and your recovery. Don't expect too much too soon. Remember - all progress is good, however small or unimportant it may seem at the time.

Learn from your tiredness: were you demanding too much of yourself before you got tired? Was there sufficient balance between work and play? Should you reconsider what you want from life?

Answer 4

You have to go to the root of the problem. Why are you tired. Try to have a blood test and see if you are not low in iron and if your thyroid functions normally. If your tests are normal then you have to try to exercises more, eat healthy, take vitamin B complex, vitamin C, Ginseng and make sure you get enough protein.

Answer 5

Lots of exercise. Although you may not feel like it, you have to force yourself to even do a little at a time. Exercise releases endorphines that make you happier and more energetic. Also, make sure you are eating a healthy diet with lots of fruit and veg, and drinking plenty of water.
