Parasympathetic Nervous System
The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) is a key part of your autonomic nervous system (ANS), which controls all the automatic processes in your body—like your heartbeat, breathing, and digestion.
⚡ While the sympathetic nervous system prepares your body for “fight or flight” during stress, the parasympathetic nervous system is your “rest and digest” mode.
💡 It helps your body:
✅ Slow down your heart rate after stress or exercise.
✅ Support digestion by directing energy to your stomach and intestines.
✅ Reduce inflammation and promote healing.
✅ Relax your muscles and lower blood pressure.
When your PNS is active, your body shifts into recovery mode, allowing you to feel calm, centered, and energized.
🌟 Why Rest and Recovery Matter
Chronic stress, a busy lifestyle, and physical exertion can keep your body stuck in “fight or flight” mode, leaving you feeling:
❌ Fatigued
❌ Inflamed
❌ Unable to fully recover
Activating your PNS is essential to breaking this cycle. Without proper rest and recovery, your body cannot repair itself, which can lead to:
Poor immunity 🤒
Digestive problems 🫄
Burnout 🥱
