STAYING CALM: HOW TO ACTIVATE YOUR VAGUS NERVE.
Here is a 2-min account of five tips to calm your nervous system.
Our autonomic nervous system is made of two parts that work in conjunction: the sympathetic for "fight or flight," and the parasympathetic to rest and digest.
The vagus nerve is the main component of our parasympathetic nervous system. It plays an essential role in the neuro immune system as in anti-inflammation, and the brain-gut axis for digestion. The whole length of the vagus nerve affects our heart, lungs, and GI tract. In a nutshell, a happy vagus nerve keeps us calm and comfortable. Please, note this is not medical advice.
