Ideally, our bodies require seven to nine hour of quality sleep to recharge and keep our immune system strong. Studies show that those who do not get enough sleep are more likely to get sick when exposed to a virus and will take longer to recover. Studies have also shown that sleep deprivation can result in a reduction of protective cytokines which are needed when we are under stress or have an infection.

Sugar suppresses the immune system. Sugar intake affects your body’s ability to fight off viruses and bacterial infections. White blood cells, needed to fight off infections, are highly affected by sugar consumption.
