Depression
Depression causes many
physical symptoms such as
fatigue, headaches and loss
of appetite, a few things
that makes a vicious circle.
Many patients respond to
antidepressant therapy,
however, it must be
implemented in conjunction
with psychotherapy. |
Hypothyroidism
Thyroid is a small gland located
in the bottom of the neck that
controls metabolism, ie the
speed at which the body converts
food into energy.
Hypothyroidism is a condition
where the thyroid gland is less
active and produces too little
of its hormones.
Affected person feels slow,
tired, and often, and gain in
excess.
If the blood exam confirms low
levels of thyroid hormones, the
doctor will prescribe a
synthetic hormone.
Too much caffeine
The optimal intake of caffeine
varies from person to person:
for someone three cups of coffee
a day are not enough, while
another person will be very bad
from too much caffeine.
Caffeine is a stimulant that
enhances alertness and
concentration in moderate
quantities.
If you drink between four and
seven cups of coffee a day you
may have insomnia, nervousness,
restlessness, nausea, stomach
problems, rapid heartbeat and
headaches.
If you use caffeine to solve the
lack of sleep, you will enter
into a vicious circle.
For example, drinking beverages
with caffeine to stay awake
during the day will interfere
with your night's sleep.
Diabetes
Sugar in diabetics remains in
the bloodstream and is not
absorbed into cells where it can
be converted into energy.
The result is a body which has
no "fuel", despite the fact that
it brought enough food.
If you are feeling troubled
constant fatigue, consult your
doctor for possible diabetes.
Rules of diabetic diet must be
strictly respected in order to
keep the disease under control.
Insulin therapy, drugs that will
help the body to process sugar
and lifestyle changes are
required.
