Eat smaller meals more often during the day and try to get more exercise and lose some weight.

2. Allergies:
If you suffer from allergies your home is the last place you want to be under siege. There are some simple things you can do to protect yourself: try to avoid dusting and vacuuming since this will stir up a lot of dust. Clean all your bed clothes weekly in hot water, replace furnace filters regularly, if possible put in wood or tile floors instead of carpet, keep all pets out of your bedroom.
3. Hemorrhoids:
The quickest and easiest way to prevent hemorrhoids is to eat plenty of fiber and drink plenty of water. Constipation is a leading cause of hemorrhoids so if you can avoid constipation you may cut back on the frequency of outbreaks. Also exercising regularly and dieting, if you are overweight, can help lessen hemorrhoids.
4. Fatigue:
If you seem to always be tired and lacking energy you are probably using some sort of drug to give you more energy, whether it's coffee, an energy drink or some over the counter pills. If you'd prefer a more natural approach here are some options: make sure you get plenty of sleep and that your sleep is restful. Don't take your laptop to bed with you. Relax for a time before you actually go to bed so that you can fall asleep quickly.
Eat a lot of lean protein throughout your day. This will provide your body with a steady source of energy. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Use ginseng daily. Make sure you avoid junk food and try to get plenty of exercise during your day.
