New Delhi, Apr 26: Feeling constantly tired despite enough sleep or light activities? Your energy levels may be affected by a lack of essential nutrients. Iron deficiency can leave you lethargic and sleepy as it impacts oxygen transport in the body. Boost iron with lentils, spinach, and kale, or consider supplements if needed.

Magnesium is crucial for energy production, and a deficiency can lead to fatigue, muscle cramps, and poor sleep. Include leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and soy in your diet for a magnesium boost.

Vitamin B12 supports red blood cell production and brain function. A lack of it can cause fatigue and brain fog. Meat, fish, eggs, and fortified plant-based foods are great sources of B12.

Omega-3 fatty acids, especially EPA and DHA, are vital for brain function and energy. Fatty fish, flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts can help maintain your omega-3 levels.

Lastly, Vitamin D, which is produced when exposed to sunlight, supports energy and mood. A deficiency can cause muscle weakness and fatigue. Regular sun exposure, fatty fish, egg yolks, and fortified dairy can help.

If you’re feeling exhausted, these deficiencies could be the cause. Adjust your diet and consult a healthcare provider to get back to feeling your best.
