Okay, so the other day Dr Trent and one of my coworkers Penny comes into the office with a bit of concern. The reason? Apparently on the drive over they heard a radio ad for a new drug for "Chronic" fatigue. If you're tired, you don't need a nap anymore in the middle of the day... take a new drug? Ok Ok... so being tired all the time isn't good but obviously an excuse for another new drug. Which can cause all sorts of side effects.
The Maximized Living website posted an entry this past week about fatigue. It states that 90% of people in a study done among 6800 people shown improvements in fatigue by engaging themselves in a regular exercise program.
Science Daily posts that low intensity exercise can increase energy and decrease fatigue. That is pretty good stuff to know. Keeping your body active helps the blood flow throughout your body and in the end with the efficiency of everything moving your body you feel better.
WebMD posts another article about Exercise fighting fatigue. There is an interesting statement in there about how we live in a society today where people are looking for the next quick energy drink. Painful. I personally don't like the crashing effect after an energy drink. The first time I had an energy drink was when I had to work after a Relay for Life event. When I got home my body literally crashed. I felt weak, barely could move, and I was extremely tired. Also when I took the energy drink my heart sped up and I began getting all shaky. Quick energy? Call it scary energy.
Dr. Scott just filmed a new episode for the video series on exercise. I will be posting them soon. I do encourage everyone to watch them.
