~Sleep Improves Your Immune Function & Increased Inflammation~
Even a small loss of sleep has been shown to impair immune function. One large 2-week study monitored the development of the common cold after giving people nasal drops with the cold virus. They found that those who slept less than 7 hours were almost 3 times more likely to develop a cold than those who slept 8 hours or more. If you often get colds, ensuring that you get at least 8 hours of sleep per night could be very helpful. Eating more garlic can help as well.
Sleep can also have a major effect on inflammation in your body. In fact, sleep loss is known to activate undesirable markers of inflammation and cell damage. Poor sleep has been strongly linked to long-term inflammation of the digestive tract, in disorders known as inflammatory bowel disease. One study observed that sleep-deprived people with Crohn’s disease were twice as likely to relapse as patients who slept well. Researchers are even recommending sleep evaluation to help predict outcomes in individuals with long-term inflammatory issues.

Dear Momentum Fitness Community,
As you all know, this past week has been quite disrupting to all of our lives. Everything feels like it’s been turned upside down. Most of us have not experienced anything like this before, and we are hopeful that we can return to our normal routines ASAP.
Clearly, the time has come for us to do our part in controlling the spread of COVID-19. We are so sad to say that we will be closing our doors until further notice. We feel this is the most responsible way we can handle this situation and protect the health of our clients and ourselves. Hopefully, by doing this now, we can help flatten the curve, limit the duration of our closure, and get everyone back into their workout routines as quickly as possible.
Stay tuned for updates, and don’t hesitate to reach out with any concerns or needs.
We hope to see you soon…..
Thanks for your ongoing support,
-Michelle and Rob
