If you feel tired, sad, and without energy no, it is not due to aging.

If you feel tired or weak in your senior years, it is not normal. Something’s wrong. Many of the phrases that doctors hear when caring for their patients are, “I am a tired doctor, it is difficult for me to get out of bed, I have felt a little sad but I am already old and I have to deal with that”.

This fatalistic stance is based on widely accepted but erroneous assumptions about what “normal aging” is. In fact, fatigue, weakness, and depression are not inevitable consequences of growing old. But they are a sign that something is wrong and that you need a medical evaluation. “People have a perception promoted by our culture that aging equals deterioration,” says Dr. Jeanne Wei. who directs the Donald W. Reynolds Institute on Aging at the University of Arkansas School of Medical Sciences.

Many older adults remain in good health for a long time. Of course, a person’s body changes over the years, but it is a gradual process.

4 things to consider.

• Fatigue, lack of energy, and tiredness all the time.
• Loss of appetite and weight loss.
• Depression, apathy, sadness, and irritability for weeks or months.
• Weakness

All these symptoms are not typical of aging. They are signs that you should see a doctor for a checkup. Much of this depends on the lifestyle that is led over the years. Sedentary lifestyle, bad eating habits, lack of physical activity. You may be surprised by the remedy.
