Many thanks to all my patients for the recommendations🙏🥰

Too much sitting can cause many health problems as well as physical aches and pains. Standing up a few minutes in an hour will help improve your overall health. If you sit for long periods and think you can reverse it's affects at the end of the day. You will need to do 40mins of moderate to vigorous activity. Sounds like a few mins in an hour is much easier to do. So don't for get to up and stand up!

Keeping active to stay strong as the weather changes, the daylight shortens as winter approaches. These exercises can make a difference no matter how old you are.

THE VAGUS NERVE
⠀
A seemingly never-ending branching nerve that connects most of our major organs to our brain 🧠.
⠀
It’s the longest cranial nerve in our body, one for the right side and one for the left. And is largely responsible for the connection for its role as a mediator between thinking and feeling, you know our “gut feeling.”
⠀
The vagus nerve is the “queen” of the parasympathetic nervous system. The “rest and digest” or the nerve. So the more we do things to activate the nerve (like deep ), the most we combat the effects of its opposer, the sympathetic nervous system - the “fight or flight”, rushing around, have to do something, releasing one.
⠀
A few other functions of the vagus nerve, just to name a few:
▪️slows your heart rate and respiration.
▪️lowers blood pressure.
▪️helps with calmness and relaxation.
▪️controls involuntary muscles in the digestive system, therefore, aiding digestion.
▪️taste sensation.
▪️movement function for the muscles in the neck responsible for swallowing and speech.
▪️gut-brain communication.
▪️reduces inflammation.
⠀
