Once in a while, I'll lose my energy, usually at the end of the day around 6pm. It's like my body is tired by my mind is not. Today I feel this. It doesn't happen every time but when it does, I feel like I've just run a marathon.

I feel like that all the time. It's really weird.

my neighbor is doing organ cleanses. first she did a liver cleanse. she said she got rid of a LOT of liver stones. she felt "sluggish" before this, now she feels she has more energy.
next she's doing a kidney cleanse.
also, if you are low on certain vitamins and minerals, it can make you feel sluggish.

I wonder about that, perhaps iron levels?

feeling sluggish is not always caused by depleted iron levels, although it could be. a normal physician won't usually check for anything further than that. but if you go to a naturalist, they can do a blood test and give you the low down on what minerals you are lacking in.

vitamin D and B12 are two others that people are usually low in. this can also affect your energy.

My friend and I have been learning about the benefits of eating a raw diet so we have increased our intake of raw fruits and vegetables and we have both noticed that we don't feel tired in the afternoon anymore. Try that and see what happens.

I have read raw food diet books - I really like the idea of it and I love most of the stuff they eat - I wonder if it helps you mentally. My body does not get tired late afternoon or evening - but - my brain gets tired! I feel like I can't "think" anymore and I dread to get a phone call etc... because I can hardly put two sentences together. The stress of the day I guess.
