Feeling weak, non-energetic, and skinny at adults age can result from several possible factors. Let’s break it down so you can consider what might be affecting you:
⚠️ Common Causes of Weakness & Low Energy
Here are some reasons you might feel this way:
1. Nutritional Deficiency
- Lack of protein, vitamins (especially B12, D), and minerals (iron, magnesium) can lead to fatigue and weight loss.
- Poor diet, skipping meals, or irregular eating habits.
2. Sedentary Lifestyle
- No physical activity can reduce muscle mass and energy.
- Staying indoors reduces sunlight exposure (Vitamin D deficiency).
3. Chronic Stress or Anxiety
- Ongoing stress drains your energy and can lead to muscle loss or weight loss.
4. Sleep Issues
- Poor sleep quality (less than 7–8 hours) or insomnia leads to fatigue and low physical strength.
5. Hormonal Imbalance
- Low testosterone levels in men after 30 can cause:
- Low energy
- Mood swings
- Loss of muscle
- Decreased sex drive
6. Underlying Medical Conditions
- Thyroid issues (hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism)
- Diabetes
- Gut absorption problems (IBS, celiac, etc.)
- Chronic infections (e.g., TB, Hepatitis)
