The lifestyle today is the basic reason behind fatigue being one of the major complaints in women between the age of 20-50. Lets look at the causes in detail –
What you eat or rather don’t eat
The younger generation has a tendency of surviving on the not so healthy diet, which affects their stamina in the long run. Due to the bad diet your body starts lacking various important nutrients like iron, potassium and protein. Supplements can be taken to make sure the level of these important nutrients is right. Other than that, caffeine and sugar may seem to be the best things in the world, right now, but the adverse effects that they are having on your health will come to forth only a little later. You can exchange these things for fruits and proteins in your diet which will help you in staying lively throughout the day.
Your sleeping habits
Hectic lifestyle, too much running around and stress leads to lack of peaceful sleep. This only gives way to more tiredness or fatigue because the body never gets time to rest or recuperate. In such cases, caffeine and alcohol should be avoided around bedtime and one should do whatever it takes to put them at ease- read, play music, get into that comfort zone and avoid anxiety however you can.
Do you exercise?
People often think that exercise will only make them more tired, but that is not correct. Exercising regularly produces more energy in your body and helps you fight fatigue successfully. You can see the change yourself by trying it out for a month. Exercise improves your way of living by helping you get rid of the excess fat, which makes you sloppy and tired.

Anemia(Iron deficiency)
This can be quite common in women because a lot of women lose Iron during their periods. When the blood is unable to carry proper oxygen to the rest of the body, the body starts feeling lethargic.

It is more dangerous than any kind of cancer and thus, should be checked in due time and worked upon. When your heart is unable to pump blood properly, then the rest of the body doesn’t get oxygen and is obviously unable to work properly. And, fatigue is one of the most common complaints of the women who are suffering from a heart disease. So, get an ECG done and keep a check on your blood pressure.
