Decision fatigue: Why making so many decisions could be harming our health?

ByAnna + Em

Stay in bed or get up and run? Eggs or oats? Cardio or weights? Peanut butter or Vegemite?  Tea or coffee? Potato chips or chocolate (JK – obviously, both!)? Netflix or Stan?

Honestly, as silly as these choices are, we know that making even the teeniest decisions can stress out even the bossest of humans. You may find yourself swirling around in the whirlpool of decision-making shouting at the heavens, “Can someone just decide FOR ME!”  It’s called decision fatigue and as we said, even the best of us can struggle under the weight of making a seemingly endless number of decisions, every day.

Irregular or heavy, painful periods can be a sign that it is not.
