In this video Dr. Andrea Furlan explains that the autonomic nervous system is divided into two parts: the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve and it controls the function of almost all the organs in the chest, abdomen and pelvis.
There are ways to activate the parasympathetic nervous system. And Dr. Furlan shows some exercises that can help to achieve this.

    don't eat processed stuff like flour, plant oils, anything with sugar except real fruits, and eat real food eggs, fish, meat, dairy as protein is balanced in it and rebuils body if your microbiota is destroyed then take good vitamin B50 complex for 3 months improving diet and eat some fermented food as yoghurt keep veggies for next meal or it will block absorption of nutrients from these 4 foods including milk as it may block absorption of iron in excess if you stressed change coffee for yerba mate or green tea but don't drink too much daily it fills and causes being alert it's ok when doing focused work but not before sleep in evenings walking with medium intensity is the best exercise

I think its a stress bustor along with dieting exs & meditation. Any specific indication would you reccommend in your clinical practice dr.andrea ? Shall we prescribe for asymptomatic sinus bradycardia ( athelectic heart) 55-60 beats / min ? Shall we indulge in our regular morning exs routine or its only for those who indicated ?
