The vagal nerves carry signals between the brain, heart and digestive system.
They’re a key part of our parasympathetic nervous system and involved in numerous bodily functions such as mood, immune response, digestion, and heart rate.
The vagus nerve helps to modulate the body’s response to stressors, supporting autonomic regulation and returning the body to a calm baseline after a stressful event.
Symptoms such as fatigue, digestive issues, difficulty concentration, poor sleep could be symptoms of vagus nerve dysfunction.
There are natural ways for restoring parasympathetic balance:
- Meditation
- Deep breathing exercises
- Physical activity
- Short cold exposure
- Sleep hygiene
The key is to lower inflammation and focus on an anti-inflammatory diet, ultimately restoring body back into balance.
