Energy

[ICON=energy.gif] Flagging vitality can lead to low energy warning signs such as fatigue, insomnia, irritability, poor concentration, lowered immunity (you keep getting colds all the time) and low libido which are debilitating enough in themselves but can also increase the risk of a whole range of illnesses, including extremely distressing ones such as depression and ME or chronic fatigue. Take a good quality multi vitamin and mineral supplement. This will give you a good combination of vitamins and minerals that are essential for energy production including the B vitamins and zinc. An additional B complex supplement providing 50mg of each B vitamin can be taken to boost energy. Low energy can be as a result of poor blood sugar control so apart from eating regular protein rich snacks and meals, a chromium supplement can be used to give more support. The herb Siberian Ginseng can be helpful in supporting adrenal function which in turn promotes and maintains energy.
