Every cell of the body requires energy to function, and every cell of the body produces energy from available nutrients via a number of biochemical reactions. If energy demands are increased or if the capacity to make energy is reduced, the body will experience fatigue. Mental depression, grief and other intense emotional states also require significant energy.

Enough nutrients and calories, sleep and activity, sunshine, clean air and water, and healthy emotional state are the fundamentals of good energy levels. The major causes of fatigue are listed below - this list is not exhaustive and does not include all possible disease states.

• Poor diet, nutritional deficiencies, digestive disorders (eg. Coeliac disease, Crohn's disease, Candida)
• Food allergies and intolerances
• Anaemia
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
• Chronic disease (eg. diabetes, kidney failure, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, cancer, chronic bronchitis, hepatitis)
• Depression and other mental or emotional states
• Chronic pain
• Infection - acute and chronic infections
• Exercise overtraining syndrome
• Aging
• Sleep disorders, insomnia, sleep apnoea
• Menopause, menstruation
• Medication and drugs
• Toxin exposure, including heavy metals

• Bodily and/or mental fatigue, inability to function as normal due to lack of energy
