Dietary imbalances

The way you feel is greatly influenced by your diet. A balanced diet rich in nutrient-dense foods is crucial for maintaining energy and providing your body with the nutrients it needs to carry out essential functions.

Consuming foods that are too processed and deficient in vital nutrients might result in calorie and vitamin deficiencies, which can make you feel exhausted. If you don't consume enough calories and nutrients, including protein, your body will begin to break down fat and muscle to meet its energy needs. This results in a reduction of body fat and muscle mass, which could make you tired. Furthermore, because of factors like aging-related changes in appetite and reductions in physical activity, older adults are particularly at risk of malnutrition and vitamin deficiencies.
