Is there a Praveen in you as well? Are you confused too? Well, first take a deep breath. To simplify things for you, weakness can be classified as per some medical conditions, namely:

• Weakness:  A lack of physical strength which is caused as a result of  muscular pain particularly when a person tries to move the arms, legs, or any other muscle in the body.

• Fatigue:   Also referred to as tiredness or exhaustion, it is a need to rest because of lack of energy or strength. Fatigue may result from overwork, poor sleep, tension and lack of exercise. It may also result from allergy, anaemia or even depression.

• Sleepiness:  Somnolence or Sleepiness is usually a short term condition caused by the absence of proper sleep. Sleepiness can be a symptom of a medical condition where one suffers from the lack of motivation and energy to perform anything in particular.

Factors of Weakness

The signs and symptoms of weakness may be of a physical, mental or emotional nature. Here are some common symptoms of weakness to watch out for:

1.Mental stress: Considered as of the most common symptoms, a certain amount of stress caused mostly by grief, anxiety, boredom or even eating disorder may be a strong reason for the cause of weakness.

2.Metabolism:Eating disorder can often lead to the rise of weakness in a healthy individual. It even results in dysfunction in the kidney or even the liver which in turn disturbs the general state of the body and the mind. Eating junk food and not having enough of Omega-3 fatty acids (found mostly in oily fishes) can be causes of weakness as well.

3. Medications: Antidepressants are the most widely prescribed drugs to fight depression. However the recent research published by the University of California claims that all these medications actually lead to weakness and fatigue.

4.Alcohol: One of the common reasons of weakness, alcohol is claimed to cause damage to the nerves, thus leading to an over-powering feeling of weakness.

5.Various diseases: Diseases like Cancer, Arthritis, Obesity weaken the immune system. Studies suggest that Chemotherapy for breast cancer is most likely the cause of prolonged fatigue even after several years of the patient’s treatment.

6. Chronic pain: People suffering from chronic pain typically wake up weak and tired even after having slept for a long time. For many people, the pain disrupts their sleep which also makes them feel tired.

How to avoid weakness and boost your energy back

If not properly taken care of, weakness can take over your life and affect everything. However, these simple and effective tips are enough to deal with chronic weakness:

1. Sleep well:  Proper sleeping habit and even proper sleeping position can help to fight weakness in an individual. Try to go to bed and wake up at an appropriate time every day. Setting the bedroom temperature at a comfortable level helps you to fall asleep. Listen to some soothing music and have a warm bath before going to bed in order to help the mind relax. This will also help the body release any muscular tension.

2. Eat and drink properly: A well balanced diet consisting of three course regular meals each day, eaten at the appropriate time will help to improve one’s overall health. Intake of foods rich in calcium, magnesium, minerals, protein (like chicken, eggs, cheese) and particularly iron (like apple, spinach) can prevent anaemia, which is a common cause of weakness, particularly in women. Drinking plenty of water while avoiding caffeine and alcohol in one’s diet may also help a great deal to fight weakness and boost energy back. Research shows that use of herbs like Aswagandha, Gotu Kola and nutritional supplements like vitamin B complex helps to deal with stress and weakness in a much improved manner.

3.Get physical activity: It boosts one’s energy levels as it releases hormones which are good for the body and the mind. Daily walking for about 30 minutes, simple exercises and practice of Yoga helps a lot in fighting weakness. Thus not leading a sedentary life will definitely help in dealing with the weakness of an individual.

4.Have a proper lifestyle: A proper lifestyle is a combination of healthy habits (like eating proper food), avoiding alcohol and smoking, exercising and sleeping properly improves overall health, thus preventing weakness.

5. Reduce stress:  Weakness is considered to be a result of an ill health caused due to psychological factors as well.  Reduce stress by engaging in relaxing activities like listening to music, spending time with friends, doing meditation. This will help to increase your energy level. However if further needed, one can engage in taking therapies such as counseling or other psychological help.
