by It’s widely acknowledged that stress can significantly impact one’s health, and many have likely heard that the nervous system plays a crucial role in overall well-being. This stems from the fact that the nervous system, with the cerebellum at its core, governs vital functions such as heart rate, digestion, sleep quality, detoxification, and the immune system. This system operates tirelessly, 24/7, controlling essential bodily processes autonomously.
The nervous system is comprised of two primary branches: the sympathetic (excitatory) and parasympathetic (passive) systems. The sympathetic system prepares the body for “fight or flight,” while the parasympathetic system handles everything else as digestion, sleep, relaxation, and immune function.
Ideally, these systems should be balanced. However, many individuals tend to be more dominant in one system or the other. Prolonged activation of the sympathetic nervous system can lead to health problems, as it inhibits essential processes like detoxification, digestion, and repair. Chronic stress keeps the body in a constant state of alert, hindering its ability to function optimally.
Based on experience with numerous individuals, effectively managing the sympathetic nervous system is crucial for overall health. If one struggles to control the excitatory system, it can lead to health complications.
Fortunately, there are steps one can take to mitigate and eliminate stress. These include:
Actions to Prevent Stress Accumulation:
Magnesium and Potassium Intake: These minerals relax the nervous system.
Nutritious Diet: Adjust diet based on nervous system dominance, potentially avoiding red meat, high fats, and high salt.
Glucose Control: Keep glucose levels in check to avoid impacting the nervous system.
Eliminate Aggressor Foods: Identify and remove foods that trigger adverse reactions in the body.
Deep Breathing: Activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation.
Avoid Toxic People and Situations: Protect oneself from negativity that can harm the nervous system.
Hydration: Proper hydration is essential for energy production and stress reduction.
Sun Exposure: Ten minutes of daily sun exposure boosts vitamin D levels, supporting overall health.
Address Vitamin and Mineral Deficiencies: Ensure adequate nutrient intake.
Avoid Mercury Amalgams: Limit exposure to potential toxins.
Minimize Exposure to Pesticides and GMOs: Choose organic options whenever possible.
Limit Radiation Exposure: Explore alternative diagnostic methods when possible.
Address Pinched Nerves: Seek chiropractic care to alleviate nerve compression.
Manage Dental Infections: Address underlying infections to prevent systemic issues.
Actions to Eliminate Accumulated Stress:
Grounding (Earthing): Walking barefoot on the earth allows the body to discharge accumulated electrical stress.
Infrared Therapy: Saunas or infrared devices can break down accumulated stress and promote parasympathetic nervous system activation.
