You are tired, sore, insomnia, exhausted after a night of
sleeping…Don’t worry, you’re not among a few people with that situation.
Exhaustion is a familiar condition of modern life that doctors
are difficult to find the cause. In many years of doing research, Dr. Frank
Lipman saw more and more people who are tired of this terrible disease. “Over
75% of people who I treat are often depressed, exhausted and suffered with
physical disorders, which makes them feel older”, I call this symptom “Spent”
which is commonly the feeling you lack of vitality and energy in all
activities.
In Revive End Exhaustion and Feel Great Again, Lipman guided
a program to help you sold “Spent” and get more energy. Modern life makes us
leave the natural circulatory rhythm, so tips below will help you quickly
retain the balance of life.
“Spent” is
commonly the feeling you lack of vitality and energy in all activities.
1.
Enjoy a fresh breakfast
Most breakfasts contain much sugar and refined carbohydrates
which are difficult to help the body store energy. To prevent exhaustion, eat
food rich of protein at breakfast as healthy fats and carbohydrate. A vitamin
dish which is nutritious and easy to digest is an ideal choice for the
breakfast. Vitamins are often preferred because they may be combined with a
variety of foods. Today you can eat more fruits but tomorrow you may eat much
protein.
Avocado is considered as the great main ingredient for
vitamins. They have the consistency of cream, the amount of sugar less than
bananas along with healthy fats and magnesium – which are essential to help you
overcome exhaustion (magnesium are also able to reduce muscle pain, headache,
constipation, insomnia). Other ingredients for vitamins are rich in protein,
amino acid and vitamins in vegetable powder (which are often lost in cooking
process).

Cure inflammation
If the body is painful, you will be immediately dull and
insomnia (while sleeping is an important factor to recover exhaustion). One of
the regular expression of exhaustion is being sore the whole body. You will
feel muscle tension and pain in shoulders, lower back, muscles and swelled
joints. It is caused by damage of connective tissue – which is a thin tough
layer surrounding bones, muscles, ligaments, nerves, blood vessels and organs.
Connective tissues help muscles more tough while moving and easy to connect
with close muscles. They also help to treat injuries and stimulate biological
chain in the nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems. In addition, they also
dominate every moment and posture of the body.
Chronic muscle and bone pain start from damaged connective
tissues. The main reason is because the body reacts against injuries which have
existed before but not completely treated. To relieve pressure on connective
tissues and muscle tension, you need to relax and apply treatment methods. The
easiest way is using a roller by sponge (or 2 tennis balls), roll it underneath
and along the body to help the body gain the balance and soothe the connective
tissues. Do this method few minutes before going to bed.

Do recovery exercises
If you spend every minutes of the day for doing exercises,
stop it because excessive practicing is the cause making you exhausted and
“spent”. Doing exercises often puts the body under pressure and stimulates
opposite responses from within the body, promotes hormone which causes stress
cortisol, so if you don't allow your body to rest, you will have to face to
exhaustion quickly.
Our bodies only enable to operate in a short time, similar
to when you observe children playing or running, you will notice that they
often pause to rest before continuing to run. To treat exhaustion, you have to
learn recovery exercises. Start with intense activities in the first minute,
after that spend the next 3 – 4 minutes to rest or do relaxing ones. Repeat
that process and apply for other exercises. For example, fast jogging in 1
minute and then, spend 3 minutes on relaxing walking with slow speed; or you
may increase time of strong intensity up to 1 – 2 minutes and reduce time of
light intensity down to 2 – 3 minutes if you want. This type of exercises will
stimulate the body to relax; in long term, your body will automatically relax
and prevent generated compounds by stress. Do not practice after 8.00pm because
it will make you hard to sleep.
4.
Try music therapy
Most causes of exhaustion is that you are caught up in busy
and overloading life. Music is one of relaxing method because sound waves will
be inserted into your mind, help you not only relax but also promote awareness
of health yourself.
Sound waves stimulate reactions in the body and affect to
the pace of cells. Relaxing music helps heart rate and breathing rate slow
down, bring relaxing feeling while loud music can stimulate and help you feel
stronger. However, depending on personality and preference, music has different
effects. For example, if you hate classical music, the sonata of Mozart can’t
help you relax. Studies indicate that music therapy is only effective when you
listen to your favorite genres.

Feel love
Physical touch is an essential element for health, for
example, infants can’t develop perfectly without touching and carrying from the
immune system of adults. Touching (for instance, hug of old friends, kiss on
cheeks when greeting, embrace parents or children, massage…) stimulate the body
secrete endorphins – an analgesic compound which is more effective more than
heroin and morphine. Touching is the essential demand of everyone. As a
tradition, we tend to treat gently and sweetly with those who need loving and
protecting. You can take advantage of this element to relieve exhaustion by
hugging friends, hold their hands tightly while taking a walk, or fondling your
children, massage your husband or yourself…They are free methods for you to
ease pressure and disease in life.
