In modern society, more people than ever are suffering from both mental and physical exhaustion. When a person becomes exhausted they can become terribly frightened. Worrying, set backs, pressure and responsibilities building up become scary because they have lost the ability to cope well.

Sure fire symptoms of physical and mental exhaustion are feeling completely worn out and tired. It goes without being said that these symptoms can affect all areas of your life. Work suffers and relationships are not the same as energy levels drop off a cliff.

Ignoring the symptoms of exhaustion can lead to major problems in your life. You can become burned out, stressed, depressed and your immune system will struggle to keep up. If you let it go further it can end up causing you to be more vulnerable to become sick or picking up an infection. The cycle never ends.

There is something very important that you must understand. Most people do not realize this but exhaustion is caused by emotional or physical problems in your life. It is important that you step back and examine your lifestyle to see where things have gone wrong.  Read more...

Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, a leading expert in treating Fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue and author, discusses “What is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?” 6 to 12 million Americans suffer from fibromyalgia.

Do you or someone you know suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? There are many names used to describe this syndrome including immune dysfunction syndrome, CFIDS, CFS, and Myalgic encephalomyelitis.

What makes this syndrome difficult to treat is that it involves the brain and also multiple body systems and is an incapacitating fatigue that lasts for six months or longer. This is why many turn to alternative medicine when conventional medicine fails to relieve all the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome.

Typical symptoms that may be relieved by alternative medicine are allergies or sensitivities to food, bloating, brain fogginess, dizziness, chronic cough, headaches, irregular heartbeat or heart palpitations, jaw pain, muscle pain, tender lymph nodes of the underarms or neck, sore throat, and a severe fatigue that is chronic.

Despite the fact that the exact cause of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is not known it is suspected that viral infections, immune dysfunction, or hormone imbalances may be involved and not knowing the exact cause does not stop alternative medicine from being able to relieve the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome. Another reason individuals seek alternative medicine when diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome is that there are no conventional treatments for this syndrome that have been effective.  Read more...

When we’re looking for a jolt to get us going in the morning, many of us grab a soda. All that sugar and caffeine gives us just the energy boost we need to get through the day, right? Well if you want to feel more energetic through your whole day, you’ll probably see a bigger difference if you give up the soda.

Most sodas are chocked full of sugar and caffeine. While they give you a boost when you first drink them, you also trigger your body’s insulin response, which counteracts all that sugar that’s entering your body. This counteracts the effects of the sugar and usually leaves you feeling even more tired than you started. The only way to get yourself going again is to drink more soda, which continues in a vicious cycle.

When you eat sugar with other foods, there are other materials that help to slow the absorption of the sugar. This decreases the insulin response and leaves you less tired after a meal than if you just had the sugar alone. When you drink soda, there is just sugar and nothing else to slow the absorption. If you drink soda with your meal it can help counteract this response, but it will still happen somewhat.�  Read more...

Do you have trouble mustering up the energy to get out of bed in the morning?  Or do you function normally until after lunch, then come crashing to a near-halt?  Lots of us suffer from low energy at one time or another, and for some it’s an everyday occurrence.

All too often, when we need enough energy to get us through the day, we reach for a cup of coffee or some other caffeinated drink.  This does provide a quick boost, but it’s not really the best thing for our bodies.  While an occasional dose of caffeine is no problem, it can easily become a habit.  And that can end up sapping our energy even further in the long run.

There are other ways to get an energy boost.  Most do not provide the quick and dramatic short-term fix that caffeine does, but they do increase our alertness and stamina.  Here are some of the best energy boosters:  Read more...

Metabolism is a process using several chemical reactions. These reactions take place in the body’s cells. Metabolism is all about change. Metabolism changes the food we eat into the energy that is needed by the body to move, think, grow, to heal and repair cells. All living beings need metabolism to live.

The reactions that make up metabolism are constantly happening and started when we were conceived and are needed for life. If metabolism ceases, so does the life of the organism. Metabolism is vital for turning food into the energy needed by the body to perform many essential functions.

The process of metabolism begins with plants. You have probably heard of photosynthesis? It all starts with the plant taking in energy from the sun’s rays. The plant uses the energy it absorbs from the sun and chlorophyll in order to build sugars from water and carbon dioxide. The process of doing this is called photosynthesis.  Read more...

Why we lack energy

The stresses of a modern life, natural depletion of essential nutrients from your diet, a decrease in your immunity and the subsequent vulnerability to illness and underlying disease results in congestion and a lack of ability to maintain energy levels.

Tiredness, fatigue, and generally reduced energy levels are the most common signs of a depleted system.

Many products focus on a short-term stimulant to boost the system to increase energy.

Bee pollen is a well-known natural ‘energizer’ that is used in many products. However, most ‘energy’ products contain only the raw bee pollen granules. The majority of these unfortunately pass through the digestive system intact, releasing little or no active ingredients into the body along the way.

Xtend-Life has overcome this absorption problem by processing the bee pollen in a very special way. This involves breaking down the shell of the pollen granules and then infusing the pollen over a five day period with a group of specialised enzymes that not only preserve the goodness of the bee pollen but actually enhance it.  Read more...
