MONDAY'S MEDS: THE DOCTOR IS IN (7/8/2013) - Why Am I So Tired

I found this article on WebMD about Possible Causes for Fatigue:

The 3 Top Causes are typically related to our daily habits
1) What You Eat - put down the sugar and caffeine and lift up your fork with a healthy, balanced diet of vegetables, fruits, and lean protein.
2) How Much You Sleep - Most people just don't get enough.  Avoid alcohol and caffeine before bedtime, turn off the TV, and keep your room quiet and restful.
3) How Much You Exercise - A great way to ward off tiredness is good old-fashioned vigorous exercise.  Do it at least three hours before going to bed to wind down - start with about 40 minutes for 4 days a week for about a month.

If after a couple of months of putting these 3 steps in place you don't see improvement, you should check with your health care provider about your chronic tiredness.  This could be linked to other medical conditions such as:

4) Anemia
5) Nutritional deficiencies
6) Thyroid problems
7) Diabetes
8) Depression
9) Sleep problems
10) Undiagnosed heart problems
