Week 7! ✨ In June, our registered dietitians are continuing to share their favorite ways to support gut health.
This week, Dietitian Emilee shares why she recommends STIMULATING THE VAGUS NERVE to boost gut health.
What is the vagus nerve? 🤔
The vagus nerve is an integral part of your autonomic nervous system. This part of your nervous system controls the things your body does without your conscious input, such as breathing, digesting food, and sweating.
Specifically, the vagus nerve is part of the parasympathetic nervous system, which calms your body after you've been in a stressful situation. The vagus nerve carries signals from your brain to other parts of your body, like your heart or intestines, to initiate this process.
The vagus nerve provides signals from your brain to your body to regulate your:
✓ Blood pressure
✓ Digestion
✓ Frequency of urination
✓ Heart rate
✓ Immune response
✓ Mood
✓ Mucus production
✓ Muscle sensations
✓ Respiratory rate
✓ Saliva production
✓ Skin sensations
✓ Speech
✓ Taste
How can you stimulate the vagus nerve?
🚿 cold exposure
👄 deep breathing
🥤 gargling
🧘🏻♀️ meditation
🎤 singing
✨ To help improve your vagus tone, enjoy this 1-minute breathing exercise narrated by Emilee.
