Are you continually tired? Do you have lots of headaches? Have you lost your appetite? Do you feel dizzy? Are you moody? Do you cry easily? If so, you are not alone. Did you know that one in every ten patients who visit their Doctor suffer with these same symptoms and it generally labeled ‘fatigue'.
Adam Meredith, a Chiropractor in North Sydney understands the connection between posture and health particularly with his clients suffering with low energy levels and symptoms of fatigue, and has had great success in treating people with these symptoms.
Did you know that fatigue can present itself in various different ways through lots of different symptoms; this is why it is hard for the Doctor to make an accurate diagnosis. They look at you and your family's medical history, to check for any signs of previous diseases, they may also conduct a few tests to eliminate serious illness or diseases.
There are numerous lifestyle choices that can cause fatigue including the amount of sleep that we get, do we go to bed too late, do we get up too early; are we burning the candle at both ends? We must be forever mindful that our body needs plenty of rest and sleep. Drugs and alcohol affect our lifestyle, drugs stimulate our nervous system and alcohol depresses our nervous system, they can both contribute greatly to fatigue. Not enough exercise affects our health and wellbeing also contributing to low energy and fatigue. The food we eat and don't eat – diet is also very important and crucial to the state of our health. Our place of work, the conditions we work in and the hours of work, even shift work, all play a major part in our life and can all contribute to fatigue if not monitored correctly.
A good indicator of fatigue is to look at your posture. People with poor posture require more physical and neurological energy to maintain that poor posture state.
Adam Meredith states that one of the biggest things his clients report is that they have much more energy after their posture has been restored.
The reason for this can be summed up by Roger Sperry PhD (a Medical nobel Prize winner for Brain research in 1981) who stated
“Better than 90% of the energy output of the brain is used in relating the physical body in its gravitational field. The more mechanically distorted a person is, the less energy available for thinking, metabolism, and healing:
