8. Fatigue
The human body puts its energy into fighting gut bacteria and viruses, which leaves little reserves for much else. As a result, those with stomach bugs routinely feel a sense of malaise.
Feeling fatigued is the body’s way of encouraging sleep and rest. Sleeping gives the body time to heal and rejuvenate. When the human body sleeps it produces much-needed T-cells to fight disease. There is a big link between physical health and sleep.4JM;, Blau JN;Kell CA;Sperling. ‘Water-Deprivation Headache: a New Headache with Two Variants.’ Headache, U.S. National Library of Medicine, pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14979888/.
