When we feel exhausted all day, the first suspects are usually poor sleep or stress. But sometimes, the real culprit is hiding in our everyday eating habits. A few seemingly harmless food habits can quietly drain your energy without you ever connecting the two. Lakshmi Kale, head nutritionist at Nutrition In Sync, highlights that people don’t realise that it’s often their everyday eating habits quietly working against them.
“If you’ve improved your meal quality, caffeine timing and sleep routine but still feel exhausted after a few weeks, it’s worth speaking to your practitioner. Conditions such as thyroid disorders, diabetes and sleep apnoea can also present as ongoing fatigue,” explained Lakshmi. If you’re constantly running on empty, don’t just reach for another cup of coffee or an energy drink. Sometimes, the biggest boost comes from fixing the everyday habits that have been quietly draining your energy all along.
