Fatigue, tired and Plain Worn out

Are you fatigued?
Do you feel worn out?
Do you lack enough energy to get through the day?
Is the wear and tear of modern life exhausting you?
Are you burning the candle at both ends?


You may not be alone. Doctors will tell you the most common complaint people have is FATIGUE. Even though all of people suffer from fatigue, it is not a normal condition.

What causes fatigue?

*It could be you are experiencing long hours of wakefulness and lacking sleep.

*It could be you have a large amount mental work and stress in your life.

*It could be because you are involved with excess amount of physical work.

Whatever the reason for your fatigue, a tired body and a tired mind does not function well. Perhaps you have experienced crankiness and irritability when you have felt fatigued. Perhaps you have spoken harshly to your spouse or kids after a long hard day? Have you ever acted impulsive and later regretted it, then noticed it was when you were worn out?

Fatigue can impair our judgment, impair our initiative, impair our creativity, impair our forethought and impair our reason.

How our body functions

The more work we do the more energy we use. The brain uses glucose for energy. The brain is very sensitive to the lack of glucose. Have you noticed when your kids are hungry they are irritability? And when you give them food, their attitude improves?

Even when a person is well rested, there is a normal fluctuation of energy that flow through our body everyday. For an example, the cortisol hormone is initially high at the beginning of the day and then in the afternoon the secretions are much lower.

7 Steps to Fight Fatigue

1. Get adequate sleep. Most people require 8 hours of sleep each night. Determine how much you need. Keep your bedroom cool, quiet and dark. Relax before retiring. Avoid eating a heavy meal before bedtime. Tonight’s sleep provides tomorrows energy.

2. Exercise 30 minutes a day. Morning or early afternoon is preferred. Avoid exercising right before bedtime.

3. Set aside regular time of recreation and diversion. Take time off to have some fun. We were not meant to keep working at an intense pace.

4. Eat a wholesome diet and drink plenty of water.

5. Avoid alcohol, caffeine and nicotine. You may feel more tired the first few days after eliminating these from your life.

6. Set healthful priorities. It is crucial to be in control of your emotions and actions for your own self respect and dignity.

7. Add natural supplements to your diet. For example, LimuPlus and Vitaone.

Is it worth feeling better? It’s up to you. You are the only one who can set priorities to fight fatigue. You can control your fatigue by conforming to the natural laws stated above.

When you conform to the natural laws, you will make better decisions in your life. When you are rested, you can accomplish much more. When you are energetic, you will be more efficient because you will be functioning at a higher level.

To your health,

Fucodian and Menopause

Are you tired of being irritable – you snap at your spouse and feel like kicking your dog because you just feel like your at your breaking point?

Sue in Ohio knows how you feel. She knows what it's feels like to be tired and irritable all the time. Here is her story:

"I KNOW what it's like to take several hours to fall asleep only to wake up in the middle of the night and be unable to go back to sleep. You awake in the morning feeling totally drained of energy.

MANY of you have probably come to the point where you are willing to take prescription drugs just to have a normal night's sleep. I too resorted to sleeping pills, but realized that that was NOT the answer.

I knew what the side effects of those medications were – and I knew that I personally couldn't continue taking them. Then, I thought to myself, I needed to look for something that could address my symptoms not simply cover them up.

That's when it HIT ME that I needed to search for an answer that didn't involve drugs, a natural product that wasn't toxic to the body and have all the side effects as sleeping pills.

Shortly after that, my friend introduced me to LimuPlus. Since I had always been convinced of natural therapies, I decided to give it a try.

I'll admit I was somewhat skeptical that something could be that powerful and have so many health benefits.
I didn't think there was anything so simple that could work that good. I was WRONG!

Immediately after beginning to use Limu Plus, I began to notice that I no longer needed sleeping pills to fall asleep. I was sleeping soundly and waking up in the morning feeling rested AND energetic - my afternoon fatigue completely disappeared.

Because I had such GREAT results with Limu Plus, I began to recommend it to my friends. The results have been INCREDIBLE – from better sleep and more energy."
