Exhaustion is a condition that plagues many of us. With all the running around required today, it’s no wonder we feel tired and lost at times. With the high-stress, fast-paced requirements of life, it is important to minimize conditions that cause fatigue. Try these tactics to eliminate tired days:

Learn stress management. When a person is feeling stressed, his muscles are tenser and his body uses more energy. Consider taking a workshop, talking to a profes-sional or reading a book on stress management.

Make sure that you are getting enough sleep. If you are putting in eight hours of sleep time but still waking feeling less than rejuvenated watch for slumber-inhibitors. Eat a lighter dinner. Avoid caffeine and other stimulants for at least four hours prior to bedtime, longer if possible.

Exercising 3-5 days a week, for 30 minutes or more, is a great way to increase your energy level. While it may seem you cannot spare thirty minutes, you will have more productive time and be more energetic if you incorporate regular exercise into your schedule. With this new-found energy, making up the time spent on exercising will be a snap. Many gyms now have day care. Or better yet, involve your child in the activity. Jogging strollers and bike attachments are perfect for toddlers. Try a bicycle or two, a long walk or lap at the pool with older chil-dren. This helps create quality time, increases self-esteem and energy, while teaching your child the benefits of tak-ing care of yourself. What a tradeoff for a 1

Have you felt tired, grouchy, or fatigue? If so than you are most likely experiencing symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) The cause of all illness is a result of imbalances in the body, more specifically the organs. A lot of people have to work overtime often usually sacrificing sleep and a proper diet in the process.

The Remedy

The primary cause of fatigue is improper nutrition. Fatigue is an indication that the cells is not getting atoms through the foods you consume in order to carry out their normal processes. The constant intake of refined foods such as white breads and sugars as well as processed foods can have a negative effect on your body. Foods like these are depleted of their natural nutrients and give the individual nothing much except for empty calories. Besides causing fatigue they can lead to obesity and a host of many other health complications. Lack of the B vitamins, zinc, and folic acid are a result in tiredness and mental depression. Other misalignments in the body that may cause tiredness is
Low blood pressure, low blood sugar levels, and extra drugs in foods such as added colors and flavors. I will recommend eating small meals throughout the day; you never want your blood sugar levels to drop too low. Also, try eating raw natural foods. Eliminate foods that are processed. One good example of natural food include seeds. It is said that seeds will grow again in your body, rejuvenating it. Seeds, nuts, and vegetables are essential to add to your diet. Remember to not have one food as your staple but always incorporate a variety into your diet.

What can inversion do for your back?

Did you know that you are physically shorter in the evening than in the morning (or after sleeping)?

Why? - You might be surprised to learn that it is due to the discs in your spine!

Imagine those little discs getting squashed all day long. All that weight bearing and holding yourself up against gravity causes moisture to be squeezed out of the discs.

This results in a net loss of height during the day.

During the night, while you sleep and because your spine is no longer bearing vertical weight, the discs reabsorb moisture and are thicker in the morning.

Inversion tables - can help to counteract that problem.

A table can allow you to - go vertical -and give your spine a major break.

Not only will your spine be happier but you will be too. It actually feels pretty good to be upside down for a period of time.

Blood and oxygen can move to the head and that increased flow can give you a more awake, more alive feeling.

You’ll feel refreshed.

My friend Clint has an inversion table and I tried it out.

It really does feel good to get on it for a couple of minutes.

If you are daring you might even do a few sit-ups while inverted - its a neat twist to being upside down and doing sit-ups!

You can experience relief from back pain by using inversion tables, others have - and you can or someone you love can too.

Inversion tables might not be for everyone. Ask your physician before using an inversion table or taking up any form of exercise.
