- Our brain occupies only 2 percent of the body weight and absorbs 18 percent of the oxygen received by the body, that is, much more than other organs and tissues. As you know, the central nervous system is located in the brain (spinal and brain), so she will be oh so grateful for long walks in the fresh air.
- Coarse bread, cereals, especially buckwheat and oatmeal, legumes, fish, dried porcini mushrooms, meat and offal (liver, heart, kidneys) – in short, simple food – that’s what the nervous system loves. These foods are rich in B vitamins and nicotinic acid, which are especially necessary for the proper functioning of neurons.
- And in order to restore and calm the shattered nervous system, a calm, deep and serene sleep is necessary. Scientists say that you need to sleep at least 8 hours, but still this is an average figure and everything is individual. You should devote as much time to sleep as your body needs. One needs 6 hours, and the other needs at least 10.
- Swim and perform any water procedures! Especially now it’s the season. Nothing strengthens the nervous system like bathing, especially sea bathing, wiping and so on.
- Do you want to have healthy strong nerves? Do what gives you joy, whether it’s sawing with a jigsaw, meeting with a friend or rearranging furniture in the apartment. Rejoice and feel happy.
Now let’s talk about what our nervous system does not like:
- Influenza, SARS, any infectious disease are its primary enemies. Pathogenic microscopic saboteurs: viruses, bacteria – cause intoxication of the whole organism. Toxic substances “bombard” the cells of the autonomic nervous system, resulting in headache, weakness, joint pain, severe sweating. If you have caught an infection, hurry to help the nervous system – take up a circular defense. Provide yourself with complete rest, in no case do not tolerate the disease on your feet. Otherwise, there will be complications – vegetative vascular dystonia, arachnoiditis and others.
- It’s hard to believe, but the cause of a brain abscess – a life-threatening condition – can be a banal pimple. To prevent this from happening, never squeeze out rashes, take care of the skin.
- The brain, like a fortress, is protected from all sides by a cranium, which is able to withstand even severe blows and bruises. And yet the nervous system will not approve if you start testing it for strength. The vessels of the brain are quite fragile and suffer first with a concussion. At the site of the injury, the blood supply is disrupted, hemorrhages appear. The consequences are the saddest: paralysis, mental disorders, even death.
By the way, to get a concussion, it is not necessary to break through the wall with your forehead, it is enough to land unsuccessfully on the “fifth point” and severely bruise the coccyx. The effect of the blow will reach the brain through the spine. And after a few years, an old and unrecognized brain injury in time will make itself felt with a painful headache, dizziness.
- The blows of fate are no less dangerous and painful for the nervous system. Not everything she can stand. The state of chronic stress becomes the root cause of neuroses.
- And try to avoid another kind of blows – solar ones. For a long stay in the sun, the nervous system will have to pay for a long and hard time. Sunbathers, be careful!
