Remedy to Body Aches

 *Body Ache*

Body aches are a common symptom of many conditions. Keep reading to learn more about what may be causing your symptoms.

*Causes*

*1. Stress*

When you’re stressed out, your immune system can’t control its response to inflammation.  This can cause your body to ache as it becomes more susceptible to inflammation and infection throughout your body.

*2. Dehydration*

Water is an essential ingredient for your body’s normal and healthy functioning. Without it, your body can’t properly perform many of its important processes, including breathing and digestion. When you become dehydrated and these processes don’t work well, you can feel physical pain as a result.

*3. Lack of sleep*

Not getting enough sleep can impact your overall health. You need at least 6 to 8 hours of sleep every night, including the rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Your body’s tissues and cells need proper sleep to stay healthy, and your brain needs it to stay refreshed and alert. Without it, your body doesn’t have the time to rest and replenish essential energies and processes. This can lead to pain.

*4. Cold or flu*

A cold and the flu are both viral infections that cause inflammation. These infections attack your body, and your immune system attempts to fight them off. Inflammation, especially in your throat, chest, and lungs, can be painful. The rest of your body might ache, too, as your body works hard to fight the infection.

*5. Anemia*

Anemia happens when your body doesn’t have enough properly functioning red blood cells, so your body tissues can’t get enough oxygen. With anemia, many parts of your body can feel fatigued because they don’t get enough oxygen to remain healthy or to function properly.

*6. Vitamin D deficiency*

Hypocalcemia, or a low blood calcium level, can happen when you don’t have enough vitamin D in your body. Many of your body’s important organs, such as your kidneys and muscles, rely on calcium to work properly. Your bones also need calcium to stay healthy. Without enough vitamin D to help you absorb calcium, you can feel aching in these organs and in your bones.

*7. Mononucleosis*

Mononucleosis is best known as mono, also called “the kissing disease.” It’s an infection caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. It’s very contagious, and one of the most common symptoms is body aches. Aches and fatigue may be caused in a generalized fashion or from inflammation and swelling blocking your airway.

*NOTE: If body ache present itself with a severe headache, it might be as a result of _```less oxygenated blood going into the brain, coagulation of fat blocking the blood veins to the brain/other part of the body or your body tissues rejecting calcium due to lack of vitamin D, it might also be a sign from liver dysfunction```_*
