Fatigue is the normal response of the body to the need for physical and mental recovery. At the same time, it is also an automatic control signal and warning that humans possess. If you don't take immediate action in response to the warning, your body will accumulate fatigue and become susceptible to various illnesses. Therefore, when middle-aged people feel overall weakness, muscle soreness, dizziness, slow thinking, lack of energy, palpitations, accelerated heartbeat, and rapid breathing, they should not continue to "push through" it. They should immediately pay attention to balancing work and rest, avoid staying up late, and avoid sudden bursts of work.

They should take health measures as soon as possible to eliminate physical and mental fatigue.
