Natural Remedies to Beat the End of Year Exhaustion

For most South Africans December means holidays, festivities, relaxation and summer sun. However leading up to the holidays, many people suffer from extreme fatigue, exhaustion and burnout. A years’ worth of work, school, errands and the chaos that comes during the year all add up and crawling towards the holidays is often a very difficult task. We have found a few natural remedies to help to fill you with vitality and energy carry you to the end of the year.

1. Ginseng – Ginseng is an age-old cure for that fatigued feeling. Look for a supplement containing at least 4 percent ginsenosides, and take two 100-milligram capsules daily. This natural remedy stimulates your nervous system and will help to protect your body from the ravages of stress. It is however off-limits if you have high blood pressure.

2. Magnesium – Try taking 400mg of magnesium every day. This mineral and natural remedy is involved in hundreds of chemical reactions in the body. It plays a role in changing protein, fat, and carbohydrates into energy sources. A mild deficiency may be the cause of fatigue in some people.

3. Diet – If you are feeling fatigued, stay clear of refined and processed carbohydrates as well as high GI food. Fizzy drinks, sugar, pastries and fast food should be avoided if you’re suffering from low energy levels. A diet high in fibre, low GI carbohydrates (but not genetically modified (GM) and many fruits and vegetables will boost your energy levels and maintain them throughout the day. Incredibly important too, is sipping water throughout the day as well as eating a wholesome breakfast every morning. Although this isn’t exactly a natural remedy it is a natural lifestyle change and should be practised throughout the year for optimal health.

4. Multivitamin – a daily multivitamin is a vital natural remedy to help regulate the body’s energy levels. It is important to speak to your doctor or pharmacist about which multivitamin is the best for your needs.
