You can acquire a large piece of that vitality pie by incorporating a simple daily practice: stimulating the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve is a key player in the parasympathetic nervous system, which manages the body's fight-or-flight response. This nerve runs from the brain to the abdomen and is crucial in regulating digestion, heart rate, mood, and the body’s inflammatory response.
There are sophisticated ways to stimulate the nerve such as expensive devices and even implants. However, the most enjoyable (and free!) are activities like humming or singing in the shower!
Other ways include:
Slow, deep-belly breathing
Massage
Laughter
Yoga
Exercise
Meditation
Chanting
Gargling
Sex
BOOK: Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve
