Pandemic exhaustion is influenced by cultural, social, structural and legal environments. It occurs when the community feels disinterested or burdened to follow the recommended measures to protect themselves and the environment from the virus.

A recent study in Turkey found that 64.1% of 3672 people suffered from pandemic fatigue physically and mentally. Due to the personal and social isolation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, it has affected the physical and mental well-being of most communities around the world. This can result in anxiety, distress, isolation and lack of physical movement towards the person. Elderly people are also no exception as this pandemic indirectly increases the tendency for them to suffer from depression due to not being able to meet their children and grandchildren who live far away. According to experts, depressive symptoms among the elderly need to be taken seriously so that they can enjoy the twilight age positively and productively.

To reduce pandemic fatigue, we need to adopt a healthy lifestyle such as eating a balanced diet, limiting sugar intake, not smoking and always do exercise activities so that our physical and mental well -being is maintained.

One of the other ways that can help reduce pandemic fatigue is by taking substances that can supply energy in the body. Among the energy -giving ingredients recommended by experts is Tongkat Ali. The extract is processed from Tongkat Ali and can generally increase dopamine in the body. When we have healthy levels of dopamine in the body, it will help us feel more fun and happy. Motivation, productivity, focus and enthusiasm rates can also be increased if dopamine levels in the body increase. This has been proven by the results of the study of Ezzat et al. (2019) where it showed increased dopamine activity in the brain with intake of Tongkat Ali. The results of this study also prove that consuming it can reduce mental stress and lack of motivation if faced with this pandemic fatigue problem.

In conclusion, we must be responsible to take care of ourselves mentally and physically for the well -being of life. A healthy body and mind can guarantee a happy life! Let's make the golden age the best age period in our lives.
