Boost your energy
Stress and energy levels
Stress and depression sap your energy at any age. If you think you may be suffering from depression you need to see your GP. Some of the symptoms of depression include:
- Losing interest in everything
- Inability to cope with everyday things
- Exhaustion
- Restlessness
- Loss of appetite and weight
- Sleep problems.
If you are feeling the effects of a hectic lifestyle, you could consider holistic ways to deal with stress and boost your energy. A yoga or T'ai Chi class relaxes your mind and stretches your muscles, and clinical studies have shown that yogic breathing in particular can be helpful when treating stress, depression and post traumatic stress disorder.
A lack of energy can be caused by many factors, and if you notice a sudden drop in your energy levels, you should seek medical advice.
Summary
