Abstract: The article explores the concept of fatigue and how the brain assesses bodily energy levels, shedding light on why many otherwise healthy individuals feel tired. Research indicates that subjective vitality is not simply a matter of calories in and energy out, but rather a complex body-brain estimation of available energy. Factors such as stress, diet, and social support can impact energy levels, with new insights potentially offering ways to address chronic fatigue syndrome and improve overall well-being. The study suggests that understanding the body-brain conversation around energy can lead to practical strategies for combating tiredness, such as deep rest, diet modifications, and exercise.
