Good quality sleep improves immune cells. People often underestimate the importance of sleep.
Did you know that less than seven hours of sleep can lead to negative effects resulting in a constant state of fight or flight? Fight or flight mode will increase stress hormones and the release of adrenaline.
Poor sleep can result in increased inflammation, pain sensitivity, blood pressure, insulin resistance, too much cortisol, weight gain, and cardiovascular disease.
All of which can suppress the overall immune system according to Kimberley Hardin, MD at University California Davis.
So if you haven’t been making quality sleep a priority in your life… consider this your wake-up call! Getting good sleep isn’t lazy, it’s essential to your health!
