Stay hydrated for Fatigue / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Make sure you drink enough water throughout the day to stay hydrated. Dehydration can increase fatigue because it reduces the blood volume in the body which makes the heart work harder to pump blood. It also reduces the blood flow to the brain, which makes the person feel more tired.

In addition, dehydration creates an electrolyte imbalance in the body. As a result, you will lose electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and chloride, through sweat and urine. This leads to more fatigue because these electrolytes play an important role in maintaining fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contractions.
