Community:

Fatigue is a common issue among older adults, with many experiencing a noticeable drop in energy levels as the afternoon approaches. Often, the culprit is post-lunch hypoglycemia, linked to difficulties in burning fat for energy. If you find yourself frequently battling afternoon fatigue, the solution may lie in your lunch choices. In many cases, a carb-heavy meal can lead to a subsequent energy slump. To counter this, consider shifting your focus from carbs to nourishing fats.

Multiple senior living factors can contribute to afternoon fatigue, including exercise habits, sleep patterns, and sleep quality. You probably have a good idea of what’s causing your fatigue. The good news is that with a few simple lifestyle changes, you can regain the vitality you need.

It’s natural to resist exercise when you’re tired, but numerous studies indicate that physical activity actually boosts energy levels. Simple actions, like drinking a glass of water and enjoying high-antioxidant foods such as prunes, can invigorate your body and sharpen your mind.

Reclaim your afternoons and infuse them with renewed energy. It’s time to make the senior living choices that will put the spring back in your step.
