How does exercise help chronic fatigue?

Chronic fatigue makes us feel distressed all the time. We do not feel like make lunch or dinner, washing clothes or even going to the departmental stores for some daily need stuff. All in all, chronic fatigue makes us feel like a vegetative animal.

Researchers have confirmed that regular workout can enhance our energy levels even the people are suffering from chronic debilitating medical diseases, which are associated with fatigue like amputation of body part, cardiovascular diseases, cancer and AIDS.

However, there is a paradox. It is seen that when people are tired, the last thing they would likely to do is exercise. Actually, if you are feeling sleepy when it is not the time and physically exhausted, being just a bit more active will help to gain your vigor.

Exercises are of two types- static (it is named as anaerobic or isometric exercise also) and dynamic (also referred as aerobic or isotonic exercise).

One cause for the increase in the vitality is that aerobic exercise makes our heart stronger and more proficient. A healthy cardiovascular system delivers about 25 percent more oxygen and nutrition per minute at rest and 50 percent more oxygen and nutrition during physical work than an unfit one does. In addition, stronger muscles give us the stamina to sail through the day with some energy to spare. Exercise can also makes the quality of our sleep better, so we feel more rejuvenated even after sleeping the same amount of time in bed.

Exercise helps in the formation of RBC as it facilitates releasing of some hormones. More RBC means there is more oxygen and nutrition available to be delivered in the tissues to help fighting chronic fatigue.
