Is it important control your rest time when you are sick? if it is, when you suggested?

Sickness and rest: Hi, when sick your body needs to heal and recover so high intensity activity is not a good idea, resting and staying in bed a little longer than usual and avoiding sport and working for a day or two makes your body heal faster. Be well.
