Energy Deficiency
I am lacking energy, badly, honestly, and completely!
I seemed to only able to carry out one task at a time, and then totally shut down, or maybe I should say bounding down to the couch for a rest. Truly, I have not been very productive, but found myself napping off and on throughout the day.
I even try to pump myself up with caffeine! Not working...not a bit! I drank that Coca Cola, that bad bad soft drink, but my eyes just shut down automatically after a few minutes.
Then I remember that I haven't been very diligent in taking my vitamins, especially my B12! I knew from my friend, Robin, who was diagnosed with B12 deficiency last month that this could be my problem also. So I got back on taking my supplements last night, and hope it will kick in soon.
My questions are:
1) Do you take energy supplement?
2) What is your favorite way to pump up energy beside exercise?

To me, a nap will do.
ReplyDeleteI am not very good about taking supplements but I do think that they can help with certain issues.
ReplyDeleteI take Vitamin D and omega 3. I hope you feel up and about soon!
ReplyDeleteIcy, I don't take vitamins or supplements. I find that when I need sleep and have no energy, I take a long nap. What always does the trick for me though, is to take a walk, even if it is a cold gray day.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the cold, damp days Icy. We have barely seen the sun in weeks and right now we have ice fog.
ReplyDeleteI do take supplements including Vitamin E, D and potassium. I find that if I have upbeat music I feel more energized. So I grab my mp3 player and listen while I do housework or other tasks.
I take some supplements sometimes.
ReplyDeleteLiquid chlorophyll helps create energy. better than iron pills for me. so I take some sometimes. I was introduced to it by my midwife some years back when my blood iron count was low. It boosted up the count right away.
Yes, Icy, I take a multiple vitamin, one with zinc and other for eyes, and calcium supplements.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite quick pick-me-up is two soda cracker peanut butter sandwiches and a cup of coffee.

Sometimes I too get that feeling, it feels like I have been drained of all energy. But I never take any supplements. I just rest or sleep a while. Hope you get better soon, have a lovely week :)

ReplyDelete1) Do you take energy supplement? Yes, I take iron, Fish oil- which is omega 3 calcium occasionally. Sounds like some of the comments have good advice like omega3- zinc. You should take a multivitamin too, it's can't hurt.
ReplyDelete2) What is your favorite way to pump up energy beside exercise? I do something I love...that always get me back on track...
same, in my mind i have so many i wanted to write down or share yet i have done very little and all i wanted is to take a nap :( i don't take energy booster, maybe all i do is take a walk or being out, that takes my sleepiness away
ReplyDeleteVitamins certainly do make a difference, but I found out that one of the blood pressure pills the prescribe for me causes drowsiness and then I know you are like me in that you are pushing yourself to do so many things...How can we not be tired?
ReplyDeleteI find that if I am doing something I love I will lose track of time and end up staying up past my bedtime. Would you consider that having more energy?
Hugs!
I need to begin being diligent with my supplements.
ReplyDeleteI am anemic so I take iron supplements.
I do different things to keep my energy up, blog, sing, dance, listen to music and fall to my knees and pray/beg God for help :)
Aloha :)
