Debbie Potts Coaching

Do you have a strong vagal nerve?

Are you living life as a race and struggling to get off the race track?
Well, chronic stress leads to METABOLIC CHAOS …a domino effect of internal body system breakdown including increased inflammation.
We learned in our Kion Coaching group about various breathing exercises and methods to decrease inflammation.
Here are some foods to include in your day to lower inflammation:

1. omega-3 fatty acids with foods such as wild caught fish, flaxseeds, grass-fed meats, sardines, and walnuts

2. supplementing with cold-pressed fish oil,

3. electromagnetic field therapy

4. intermittent fasting

5. high-intensity interval training

6. improving sleep quality

7. enhancing gut health

8. increasing antioxidants

9. getting rid of toxic body care products

10.  drinking enough water (by slowly sipping throughout the day, rather than big gulps when you are thirsty) as well as drinking the right kind of water (filtered water free of chemicals, metals, and drug by-products)

11. eating more probiotic-rich foods such as sauerkraut, fermented pickles, coconut milk kefir, grass-fed yogurt, and kimchi

12. using essential oils such as cinnamon, lavender, chamomile, frankincense, rosemary, and ginger

13. laughingsinging, and listening to music

14. enhancing vagal nerve tone.

As we have discussed in many podcast interviews with SweetBeat Founders Jo Beth Down and Ronda Collier, improving our vagal tone will help improve your parasympathetic nervous system strength- building resiliency and of course your HPA Axis function.
Decreased vagal nerve tone has been shown to increase:
  1. cortisol
  2. proinflammatory cytokines
  3. fasting glucose
  4. hemoglobin A1C levels
We can improve our vagal tone by:

1. exposure to cold

2. yoga

3. praying

4. supplementing

5. eating probiotic-rich foods

6. exercising

7. fasting

8. producing oxytocin by hugging, cuddling, petting a dog, giving a gift, helping others, and laughing

9. getting acupuncture

10. chewing gum

11. massage therapy

12.  sleeping on your right side

13. supplementing with zinc.
