Do you constantly feel you have some kind of cold? Your immune system can be directly impacted by your sleep apnea in Prince Albert. To keep your body healthy and happy, it\u2019s best to learn how your quality of rest can impact the way it functions. Even though you maintain a nutritious diet and exercise daily, you still find yourself falling ill all the time. It\u2019s beginning to impact your day-to-day life, and it\u2019s keeping you from doing what you love. Read on to learn how your disorder can be putting your immune system in danger.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>How is Sleep Connected to Your Immune System?<\/h2>\n<p>A key player that helps boost your immune system and protect you from inflammation and infection is a special type of\u00a0protein called Cytokines. The thing is, your body only produces and releases them while you\u2019re sleeping. The more sleep you get, the stronger your immune system is at fighting off illnesses. In short, sleep plays a vital role in preventing sickness.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re experiencing a long-term lack of sleep, it also increases your chances of becoming obese and developing diabetes and heart disease. The optimal amount of rest for adults is between seven and eight hours each night to fight off infectious diseases and illness. Keep in mind though, more isn\u2019t necessarily always better. If you sleep too much, it could cause the quality to plummet.<\/p>\n<h2>How is Your Sleep Apnea Threatening Your Wellbeing?<\/h2>\n<p>Your body repairs itself while you\u2019re sleeping by producing cytokines and antibodies, but only when you\u2019re in a deep sleep. If you\u2019re suffering from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.princealbertdental.com\/sleep-apnea.html\">sleep apnea<\/a>, you rarely ever\u00a0get deep rest because your sleep cycle is constantly being disrupted because of your obstructed airway. These interruptions keep your immune system from getting the time it needs to fight off illness as it should.<\/p>\n<p>Most cases of sleep apnea go undiagnosed because people rarely realize it\u2019s a problem. Also, most of their symptoms occur in the middle of the night while they\u2019re sleeping. If you feel constantly tired, wake up with a headache or sore throat, or occasionally wake up gasping for air, you should\u00a0visit your medical professional to see if you have sleep apnea.<\/p>\n<h2>Can Treating Your Disorder Help Boost Your Health?<\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve been diagnosed with sleep apnea, you can start seeking treatment to improve your quality of rest and health. Patients typically prefer oral appliances, which will adjust your jaw and open up your airway. Be sure to visit your dentist for a consultation so they can develop an individualized treatment plan to help fortify your immune system!<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Jerry Janzen is passionate about improving his patients\u2019 overall wellbeing and confidence with the highest quality of dental care.
