Everyday Habits That Zap Your Energy And Make You Feel Sluggish
Stressful Work Environments
Just like bad posture can impair the lungs, stress can lead to tense muscles and shallow breathing. This can induce fatigue even if the body is not moving. Focusing on the same subject for long periods of time also causes the brain to use up a lot of energy. A study conducted by researchers at the University of Toronto shows that mental concentration is like a muscle: it gets tired after continuous use and must be given a break to promote recovery. To combat this, take breaks regularly: for every ninety minutes of work, take a break of ten to fifteen minutes. When stress kicks in, it is best to let the brain recover instead of distracting it with sugar and caffeine. This will help to prevent long-term health damage.
