- Experts believe that low immunity and a poor diet are the main reasons for lethargy.
-The foods you eat can affect your body and make a huge difference in the way you feel on a daily basis. A diet for lethargy should not include foods high in fat, sugar, or additives and chemicals.
- Over-processed foods should be replaced by whole foods and super foods instead. To combat lethargy, you should eat a healthy balanced diet consisting of fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains, sprouts, protein and complex carbohydrates.
- Drink at least eight to ten glasses of water a day.
