To get back your energy and vitality
By Sebastien Bilodeau-Roy
These days I’ve had a lot of people coming with tiredness and fatigue. It is this time of the year after all. The change of temperature puts pressure on the body to adapt, and if it’s too slow, it can drain your energy.
How is your energy level today? Or in the morning when you wake up? At night after work? Do you slump around instead of walking with confidence and energy?
There are many different types of fatigue, of lack of energy. I’ve seen those who can’t wake up properly for hours, who have no energy in the morning.
It could be you never have energy, in a state of chronic fatigue. Or sometimes it’s simply that you can’t do much after a day of work, drained and unable to enjoy life with your family.
Whatever causes that down of energy, it’s possible to get better!
Often it comes without surprise and a little bit undercover. All of a sudden, you start thinking maybe you’re just not that young anymore. But there’s very little truth in that.
Fatigue happens for many reasons; it’s often related to a lack in the digestive system. Not necessarily the diet, but the digestion itself. Your system might absorb too little nutrient from food before getting rid of it. It can be because of inflammation, making the movement too fast, the metabolism burning through the food instead of naturally digesting it.
Sometimes it can be stress of the body that burns and blocks your capacity to move. Physical stress can be very difficult to get rid of and it’s not always easy to simply feel it. Chronic tension doesn’t feel sore or anything of the sort, but it effectively drains away your energy.
With chronic fatigue and lack of energy. It’s common to see:
– Some depressive feelings, guilt;
– Stop going to social events, out with friends;
– Moods disorders;
– Muscle pain;
– Getting sick more often, getting better might be slower.
Whatever the cause, with acupuncture we can find it and rectify it. Then it’s only a matter of working through it.
