WHAT IS VAGUS? HOW IS THE VAGUS NERVE ACTIVATED?

Vagus is Latin for traveler. The vagus nerve, one of the 12 parts of the nervous system found in the brain, gives branches to many organs of the body. The Vagus nerve is an important part of the digestive system.

In the body, communication is provided between the Vagus nerve and the intestine and brain. The Vagus nerve activates the sympathetic nervous system, an important component of the digestive system, understanding that something goes wrong when you are unhappy, and allows the release of cortisol in the body.

Cortisol can be thought of as a biological alarm system. Your body’s main stress hormone is called cortisol. It works with specific parts of the brain for many different tasks, from mood to motivation and even controlling fears.

VITAL FOR GUT HEALTH

The Vagus nervous system is vital for the proper and healthy functioning of the intestines. Disruptions in the vagus nervous system cause diseases that lead to inflammation in the intestines.

In addition, if the vagus nervous system is interrupted, hoarseness, shortness of breath, difficulty swallowing, loss of the gag reflex, slowing and irregular heart rhythm, death by paralysis of the muscles that control the respiratory tract can be observed depending on where the incision or lesion is located.

The Vagus nerve gives branches to many organs, as well as vital organs such as thoracic organs such as the heart and lung, stomach, liver and intestines.

HOW IS THE VAGUS NERVOUS SYSTEM ACTIVATED?

The best way to activate the Vagus nerve is to breathe deeply. Conditions such as shortness of breath, which occur when we are stressed, cause panic on the vagus nerve. Frequent deep breathing is important for the vagus nervous system.
