Info

where the tiredness is caused by a lack of care for yourself, for whatever reason. It can also be caused by a vitamin or mineral deficiency. Fatigue can also be caused by many diseases, such as arthritis, Parkinson, different types of cancer, circulatory diseases, intestinal diseases, etc. <strong>Tired</strong>ness can seem disabling, and if the fatigue is caused by a disease, then the root cause must be treated. Lacking Sleep Sleep has a rejuvenating effect on the brain and the entire nervous system. Sleep’s influence on our health is well documented. Make sure you have an early bedtime. Most people function optimally with 8 hours of sleep, where the hours before midnight are the most important. We all have a need to be part of the social life once in the while, but everything should be in moderation, and make sure you exercise your self-discipline both when it comes to food and drinks, also when you are out to have a good time. It is never pleasant to wake up with a handover and it is not good for your liver and brain either. • Melatonin is the most important antioxidant your body produces. It holds importance for your hormone levels, your energy, and joy of life. To ensure you produce sufficient melatonin, it is important that you sleep in complete darkness and experience sunlight during the day. The balance between light and dark is important for a sufficient production of melatonin. Melatonin is luckily also available as a supplement in liquid or capsule form. • Vitamin-B is something many people lack. It should be taken in the morning. • Vitamin-D can also be a great help. • When it comes to minerals, then a supplement of magnesium, calcium, and silicon might do you good. • Products containing hops and valerian can be great supporters and should, just like melatonin, be taken in the evening. Stress Stress saps your energy. Too many people are running in the highest gear all day, every single day of the week. It takes a toll on the body and can results in different afflictions. If you are stressed, then stop and force yourself to take some breaks, so your body and brain can recharge. There exists some good aids, which can help you manage your stress. • A complex of B-vitamins can be a great help. • D-vitamins has also been shown to help with stress. • Omega-3 oils can function as a stress inhibitor. • Likewise, can the minerals potassium, calcium, magnesium, and zinc help. • Ashwagandha is a must have if you feel stressed. Ashwagandha is an ayurvedic herb that belongs to the nightshade family. • I personally use a product that I find helps me exceptionally, in these tiresome and trying times, which is also accompanied by stress. The product consists of Siberian ginseng for increased mental and physical performance, Astragalus that aids my immune system and lessens fatigue and exhaustion, and rose root, which minimizes my stress and functions as a pick-me-up both mentally and physically. Worries Too many people keep worrying as an essential part of their day. I am personally also very good at worrying, but the years have taught me to put some of my worries behind me and get better at enjoying the many wonders of daily life. Worrying sucks all the power, joy, and energy out of you, if you belong to the worrying type. Remember that most worries never become real!!! It could perhaps be a good idea to get help from a therapist, if you find it too difficult to handle yourself. Many worries revolve around whether you are good enough. Can you handle the job and are you good enough to keep it. Are you sufficient as a family dad/mom. Learn to relax, no is perfect. We are all students at the school of life. Be good to yourself. Look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself “I love you”. It can be a difficult exercise, but once you have done it enough, then you start to feel the love and tolerance you have for yourself and can be contributing factor in bettering your days. Dietary supplements can help, I will recommend taking magnesium in the evening. It can be particularly helpful if your worries have a tendency to pop up when you are going to bed. If you wake up in the middle of the night and feel your worries sneaking into your mind and keeping you from sleep, then it might be a good idea to take a strong supplement of pantothenic acid. It might be a good idea with a relaxing herbal tea, just like products containing lemon balm can help resolve some of your worries. The Diet The diet is the fuel that has to get you through the day. Make sure that you have healthy dietary habits. Avoid sugary foods, as well as white bread and pasta. Stay away from cola and other energy drinks as well as too much coffee. The abovementioned will provide a lot of fast
energy, but you will quickly become tired again. Enjoy a single glass of wine but be careful with too much alcohol. Too many of us do not drink sufficient water throughout the day. Make sure that you drink roughly 1 ½ liters of water. Coffee and juice are not included. Many people do not eat breakfast. I have been an educator for travel guides and at least half of them skipped breakfast. You should eat plenty in the morning. The body has to be filled with energy in the morning, else you will easily get tired and lethargic throughout the day. If you feel hungry outside of your designated mealtimes, then eat an apple, a piece crispbread, or a slice of rye bread with a sensible topping. I feel immense joy by starting my day with a glass of lukewarm water with lemon juice. It helps expel waste material, and then I get some water, which I often forget. Exercise Bobby cannot go on long walks anymore. He keeps walking in circles and cannot orient himself. Luckily, my other dog Pixie is very persistent and makes sure that I get on my daily morning walks. Sometimes there is even time for a bit of play on the beach. I currently do not have excess energy for other type of exercise, so it has to be sufficient that I get out in the fresh air. If you are suffering from extreme fatigue, then it is important to maintain the discipline to go on a daily walk, where you can fill your lungs with fresh air. You have to ensure that you get at least half an hours’ exercise daily, where you can breathe into your stomach and feel the blood rushing through your veins. On the 12th of February are we entering the Chinese New Year. This year is called the year of the metal ox and is described as having focus on the lungs, for better or for worse. Make sure you take care of them, which preferably can be done with a walk in the fresh air. Remember to take a versatile vitamin/mineral product, as well as a supplement of omega-3 oil, so you are ready to face spring on the best possible terms. By Sami Christian Lindberg The other day when Anni asked if I could write about some topic to the news letter, I of course immediately got plenty things in my mind, but then I thought actually that I would love to write about few words of some herbal products that I’ve learn to use while studying Ayurveda. Ayurveda is ancient healing art dated back to almost 5000 years and mostly practiced in India, it has amazing accuracy still today and it’s based on natural principles, it has been absolutely eye opening for my well being and understanding of health and finding more balance in my life. My absolute favorite herb is Bacoba monnieri also called Bhrami, it is an brain tonic and helps with anxiety, concentration and memory, it helps to retain information, I found it very useful while studying and also during these special circumstances. It takes a little while before it really kicks in, but in few weeks I felt less nervousness and on long term it really has helped me to focus and gives such a calm and good concentration. I think the best Bacoba product is Keen Mind from Floridis. It has also liver protecting property and good for the gut and that is no wonder, as they say stomach is our second brain. It is best to take it in the morning with the breakfast. It is not a quick fix, so it requires patience and long term use before you are able really feel the benefits. It is also known to help children who are overactive. Another herbal product that has really made me fall in love with, is Berberis Aristata also called Daruharidra ( tree turmeric) it has similarities with turmeric, it is strong yellow and very bitter remedy, very good for liver function and lowering cholesterol, it has strong anti inflammatory effect and well researched with diabetes and blood sugar issues. It is also very good for the skin. It has really helped me with my sensitive blood sugar and I feel it is more stable throughout the day and since it has helped me with my liver function I feel more energetic than before. I chose Finnish Dr Tolonen Berberin product for it is purity and the daily dose is 1500mg in a day and I take it before every meal and I don’t feel blood sugar spikes and tiredness after the meal anymore. Such a excellent product that is must have if you’re pre diabetic or have diabetes, www.annisvitalshop.com inflammation or liver problems. The winter time in Ayurveda is considered as a Kapha time, Kapha literally means phlegm, Kapha is water and earth element and it is heavy, cold and slimy, also the time of the year with viral infections, lethargy and tiredness. Such a good remedy with anti viral effect and mucus pulsing properties is Licorice root powder also called Yashtimadhu. I like to mix it with hot water and it has nice and sweet taste so it is enjoyable as well. It is very good for acidity in the stomach and mildly laxative. it has antimicrobial, antioxidant and antiinflammatory effects and it’s eases the upper respiratory infections. It is also used to treat ulcers. It can be found in tea bags from Pukka brand, or as herb from Naturdrogeriet or which I prefere as a powder from Urtekram company, it is easy to use and inexpensive with such a great benefits for this heavy, slow and sluggish time of the year. Well, I could go on and on, there is so many wonderful natural herbs that has been well documented and researched with amazing health benefits, but I promised to Anni to keep it short. I wish strength and strong immunity for all who is reading this, keep eating healthy and keep moving, there is so much we can do to better our quality of life and enjoying our journey through different seasons and facing their challenges!
