Women With Low Energy: You’re Not Alone.

If your get-up-and-go has gotten up-and-gone, participating in a full life may not seem worth the bother. Plenty of women can relate, especially those of a certain age.

Plus physical sluggishness may be accompanied by mental sluggishness. It’s a combination that can make it even harder (but not impossible!) to rise above and to get back to your old self.

You’re not just lazy; chronic fatigue is real in Alpharetta.

What can you do about feeling tired much – or most – of the time? It depends on the cause. And there are many possible causes. It can even be two or three different issues contributing to your daily lethargy.

If it’s been too long, or if it’s getting worse, then pick up your cell and make an appointment with a physician. They can help narrow the possibilities, and determine if something more serious is going on with your body.

As we’ll see, the answer can be simple, or not so simple. But either way, life is too important to feel like a slug all the time! And no matter what you find out, the fact is you’re probably not exercising enough. But you knew that already.
