D. Vacation 5%
The Answer: Rhodiola
On the 11/15/12
episode of The Dr. Oz Show: Dr. Weil's 5 Essentials Dr. Weil's
own doctor Dr. Tieraona Low Dog,
MD, joined Dr. Weil and Dr. Oz to talk about fatigue fighters.
Dr. Low Dog combines her medical degree
and her Native American heritage to heal the mind, body, and spirit.
Nature holds the answers to health, said Dr. Low Dog.
Golden root, better known by it's
common name of rhodiola, boosts energy, supports mental concentration
and physical endurance. Dr. Low Dog recommends to begin with 100mg in
the morning daily for first two weeks then increase by 100 to 200mg
up to 400mg. She explains that rhodiola is great for people who are
experiencing low energy, sleep issues, depression, or general
feelings of blah.
Relora
Relora plays a role in support healthy
levels of cortisol in the body. Cortisol is known as the stress
hormone and when stress levels are high cortisol creation ramps up
causing the storage of fat.
Guarana
Guarana can certainly play a role in
energy levels as it's where caffeine is derived. Using guarana as a
supplement may be a player in the fatigue fighting game however over
using guarana and caffeine can backfire by over taxing the adrenal
glands and causing even more fatigue.
Vacation
I highly recommend a vacation for those
who are strapped for energy and suffering from prolonged fatigue.
However not everyone can have a vacation when they feel the need.
Perhaps making time for yourself each day to relax and restore can
support energy levels or taking a day to enjoy the sights and
entertainments in your own city can be a positive outlet for stress
and allow some recharging too.
