Café talk .... ENERGY FOR LIFE A constant feeling of fatigue can be due to various factors. An overloaded liver, viral infection, adrenal fatigue, low thyroid function, unstable blood sugars and insomnia are some of the more common causes. 1. CORTISOL is a hormone produced by your adrenal gland. It peaks when you get up in the morning and goes down during the day. Constant high stress levels can deplete your adrenals and result in adrenal fatigue (low or erratic cortisol levels). 2. THE THYROID gland regulates your energy metabolism. Subclinical low thyroid function affects your energy levels, temperature regulation, as well as weight. Inquire about our simple thyroid test. 3. BLOOD SUGAR levels can also affect energy levels. You can easily regulate them through diet and specific nutrients that help stabilise them throughout the day. 4. SLEEP is important to regenerate and recharge. If sleep doesn’t reach the restorative phase (deep sleep) your immune system, brain and other organs begin to suffer resulting in lowered immunity, attention and energy. There are different types of insomnia that interfere with sleep, but these can be identified and resolved. NATURAL TREATMENTS NUTRITIOUS FRESH SALADS Do you regularly experience any of the following?
