The secret to long-term well-being boils down to your nervous system.
The door to it is your parasympathetic nervous system.
And the key?
Your Vagus Nerve.
Discover 4 ways to activate it in this thread!
Health is the product of internal balance.
Harmony between the sympathetic (stress) and the parasympathetic (relaxation) nervous system ensures that.
This so-called homeostasis is what we want to keep inside of us.
Both systems have a lot of activities to control in our body.
From heart rate regulation, digestion, metabolism, and the adaption of our eyes to the functioning of the bronchi.

The Piriformis can be a real Pain in the Butt.
Get rid of Scitiac Pain with these 7 Mobility Exercises.
Incl. Myo Fascial Relase Applications.
The main function of the piriformis muscle is to rotate the hip outward when the leg is straight or in a neutral stance.
When the hip is bent, such as when pulling the knee up towards the chest, the muscle helps in moving the leg to the side and keeps the hip joint steady.
If it gets tight you feel pain in the deeper area of your buttocks. Which can also lead to sciatic pain and other symptoms.
Doing a good session of Myo Fascial Release (MFR) will help you lower the tension on the muscle and around it.
General Practice Advice for MFR:
- Seek out the tight spots on the area
- Use a hard medicine ball, basketball or lacrosse / tennis ball
- Stay on the hard spots for 2-5 minutes
- No rolling
- Pain should not go beyond 5 (out of 10)
- Drink a lot after the session
