According to Dr. Alexander Kalyugin, a physiologist, irregular diet and sleep patterns, as well as nervous system problems, can lead to chronic fatigue.
According to him, chronic fatigue is a condition in which a person constantly feels ill. He explains how to get rid of this condition.
He says: “Chronic fatigue is not just laziness or a bad mood, but a signal from the body that there is an imbalance between effort and rest. It often occurs with chronic sleep deprivation, prolonged stress, lack of physical activity, an unbalanced diet, iron deficiency, vitamin D deficiency, thyroid disease, the effects of infection, anxiety and depression.”
He adds: "The first step is to restore the daily routine - going to sleep and waking up at roughly the same time, and putting away bright lights, phones and work emails an hour before bedtime."
The expert advises increasing physical activity to combat feelings of fatigue, but without engaging in strenuous exercise, as this can be harmful.
He says: "The second step is to exercise in moderation: walking for 30-40 minutes a day is often more effective than trying to start a new life with strenuous exercise. It is also important to improve your diet - eat regularly, get enough protein, water and vegetables, and limit your intake of alcohol and caffeine."
According to him, if fatigue persists for more than 2-3 weeks, affects work and daily life, and is accompanied by shortness of breath, palpitations, weight loss, fever, sleep disturbances, or lethargy, a doctor should be consulted. In such cases, it's crucial not to mask the problem with stimulants, but to diagnose the underlying cause. Restoring vitality through self-harm is not advisable; instead, it's about restoring sleep, a regular routine, physical activity, and timely diagnosis.
