Lack of Energy
Age-Related Energy Loss

Lack of Energy
Energy loss is defined in a number of ways. Exhaustion, lethargy, tiredness, weariness, listlessness, lassitude and fatigue are just some of the terms in common usage. All these refer to a state where the body runs out of steam. You may lack vitality, feel drowsy, lack general interest and concentration and remain inactive.

Lack of energy may be temporary, from overexertion, or your body sending a message that it needs to rest.

In a society where overwork and sleep deprivation are normal we all feel tired from time to time. However, the lack of energy (or fatigue) referred to here is more than just a few hours of tiredness. Although it is not a disorder in itself, severe energy loss can be a symptom of disease or bodily imbalance and can occur at any age. It may be a first indication that your body is not working as it should and needs attention.

If energy loss is prolonged, no matter how much rest you take, with constant feelings of fatigue after only short bursts of activity, it is an indication of a more serious imbalance.

Nutritional deficiencies, malnutrition, malabsorption and lack of exercise all contribute greatly to energy loss, as does almost every illnesses and disease. As well as this fatigue can also be a side effect of many medications and chemical imbalances.

Nutrients

Neurons (unique cells that process and transmit information) in your brain and nervous system communicate millions of electrical messages per second. You need essential nutrients for this electrical system to work correctly. When an imbalance occurs these nutrients stop being replaced. Left uncorrected your system will overload and malfunction, nutrient levels plummet and you begin to slow down, become forgetful and of course lose energy.

Age-Related Energy Loss

The main reason for loss of energy in aging is due to the continual lack of nutrients over years of insufficient dietary practice, an inadequate lifestyle, surrounding environmental factors and years of long-term medication. These all lead to a progressive decrease in muscular strength and flexibility, immune deficiency and disease vulnerability, making your body fight harder day-by-day to remain healthy.

By adulthood your resting metabolism has already decreased by 10%. In older age, along with your oxygen intake, your metabolism continues to decrease by a further 10%. Most of your total daily energy comes from this resting metabolism, therefore nutrient intake must be sufficiently increased and/or adjusted accordingly as we age to maintain sufficient energy use.

If your energy levels are OK most of the time but you have periods in which you feel that your energy levels could do with a 'top up' then a Natural-Energy supplement with New Zealand Bee Pollen may be the answer.

It can be taken on an empty stomach and all 6 capsules can be taken at the same time...say mid afternoon. Most customers report an increase of energy levels to see them through the rest of the day. It is a much healthier option than an 'energy' drink as all the nutrients are beneficial for your body and there is no sugar.

Natural-Energy may be taken every day or intermitantly as required.

If you low energy levels are more chronic and you are perpetually tired then you need more than just a 'top up'. You need to focus on replenishing your basic nutrient levels and give your organs what they need to become fully functional again. This is best done by taking Total Balance, plus Omega 3/DHA Fish Oil and for the first month or so adding the Natural-Energy
