Sleeping and the Body Immunity

Consuming high doses of vitamin C is a popular way to increase endurance to avoid the influenza. In fact, having adequate sleep is much more effective.
Sleeping and immunity of the body are closely linked. Research shows mammals sleep takes more to produce disease-fighting white blood cells. Researchers  also shows, a species more sleep have a higher resistance against pathogens that cause disease. Species that more sleep duration showed increased immune system and more protected from the disease.

A new study shows that lack of sleep and vulnerable influenza have positive correlation. The experts even argue enough sleep is the most powerful way to increase endurance.

In the study the researchers looked at 153 men and women for two weeks to determine the quality and duration of their sleep. Then, during the 5 days of the respondents are quarantined, and exposed to the flu virus. Apparently those who slept less than 7 hours every night 3 times more vulnerable to illness than those who sleep at an average of 8 hours.
