You often hear the term "autonomic nervous system," but can you explain it properly?
The autonomic nervous system is a nervous system that functions independently of one's will. For example, even if one can move one's arms and legs freely, one cannot control breathing, blood vessels, body temperature, or sweating.
Humans have countless nerves, but it is the autonomic nervous system that controls life-related functions such as blood vessels and internal organs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
This autonomic nervous system becomes disrupted by irregular lifestyles, stress, and fatigue, causing many disorders.
The autonomic nervous system consists of two nerves: the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system.
The "sympathetic nervous system" works when you are actively moving your body or under stress.
The "parasympathetic nervous system" works when you are resting or relaxing.
When you hear that the parasympathetic nervous system is active when you are relaxed, you might think that it would be better if the parasympathetic nervous system was dominant, but that's a mistake.
A state of imbalance occurs when only the sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous system is dominant.
It's good to have a good balance of both.
A state of "balance"
A healthy autonomic nervous system means that the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are in balance.
Yes, balance is important.
If you do too much (or too little) of the following things, such as eating, sleeping, working, or resting, your body is likely to become disrupted.
It is very important to always face yourself and ask your mind and body about their current state.
Pay attention to the quality of your life to regulate your autonomic nervous system
Being mindful of the actions you normally do will help regulate your autonomic nervous system.
In today's world, social media and smartphones are convenient, but our brains also receive a lot of information. We also live busy, stressful lives and have easy access to foods that our bodies should avoid (even though they may taste good). Without even realizing it, our autonomic nervous system can become disrupted.
It may be a busy day, but
・When you wake up in the morning, soak up the morning sunlight and take a deep breath. ・Use the stairs at the station instead of the escalators. ・Shut down your smartphone and computer before going to bed. ・Make a conscious effort to eat a balanced diet.
By simply being a little more conscious of these things, you can improve the quality of your life and make it easier to regulate your autonomic nervous system.
