As the endocrinologist Dilyara Lebedeva said, if you do not have the strength to train, this may be a signal of a lack of certain substances in the body. It is not always a matter of ordinary laziness; this state may have hidden reasons.
iron deficiency
— The relationship at the cell level is as follows: iron – hemoglobin – oxygen – ATP synthesis – energy. If there is an iron deficiency, the cell cannot work intensively, so the loads are poorly tolerated, – the physician noted in her telegram channel.
Also, the cause may be a deficiency of thyroid hormones, that is, hypothyroidism. As the endocrinologist noted, thyroid hormones affect mitochondria – “energy stations in every cell.” When they are low, energy is low.
People with hypothyroidism often complain of drowsiness, insomnia, anxiety, irritability, and even a loss of interest in life. All these manifestations are associated not only with a reduced level of hormones, but also with metabolic disorders.
It could also be an imbalance of cortisol and DHEA, or, in other words, adrenal exhaustion.
– Cortisol and DHEA provide an adequate response to stress, which includes physical activity, – the physician emphasized.
Symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue: fatigue, weakness, loss of appetite, weight loss, skin changes, increased sensitivity to cold, muscle weakness, depression and irritability.
Another possible reason is testosterone deficiency, when muscle mass decreases, strength and endurance decrease. All these causes are treatable, the doctor said.
Classic symptoms of iron deficiency:
- fatigue, drowsiness, poor performance;< /li>
- frequent dizziness;
- pallor;
- numbness of the limbs;
- permanent chilliness;
- lack of air, noise in ears, darkening of the eyes;
- tachycardia;
- change in taste preferences.
With a lack of iron, pallor of the skin, tongue, palms is observed; dryness and brittleness of nails and hair.
