CHRONIC FATIGUE
Possible Causes - 4

Chronic fatigue may have many causal factors. This series of blog posts offer a few ideas you can check out for yourself or with your physician.

Self Care Issue

Exercise: Movement, a basic sign of life, influences, muscle, skeletal and joint health while increasing the amount of available oxygen. Like fanning a fire, increased oxygen fans the metabolic fire, which influences which increases cellular energy. A lifestyle that lacks movement usually results in a body that is stiff, weak and slow burning.1

What this is saying in simple terms is exercise is a necessary part of life. Yes, I know. Most people don't like to exercise, but most people don't like to feel bad either. So, a little exercise can go a long way helping you feel and act in a normal, healthy way. It helps the body cope with everyday life and stress. To put it plainly, move it or loose it!
Therefore, plan a simple and safe exercise program. If you have health issues you should get your physicians approval before beginning.
