Strengthening the nervous system: 3 helpful tips

At a time when emotions and information are falling on us from all sides, few can say that he has nerves of iron. Our ancestors were much easier in this respect. Although life was rather boring by our standards. However, some methods aimed at strengthening the nervous system were used even then, and therefore we will mention them too.

So, what was recommended to nervous people in antiquity? Go to the village and let the nervous system move away from the city's stresses. In our time for these purposes is good agrotourism, however, and health will also help. But in exotic countries should not go, if the problems with the nerves are serious. Too many impressions of a sensitive person can bring to a real nervous breakdown. Moreover, in too unusual countries, conflict situations are possible. A person who is interested in the recovery of the nervous system because of necessity, usually is not able to adequately resolve conflicts. And what kind of rest is it? Therefore, it is best to go to a familiar resort, to relatives or to a sanatorium.

In this first few days you need to sleep as much as possible, also try to organize yourself a day sleep, which gives an excellent effect, better at night. However, then you should go to a strict regime with an 8-hour night's sleep. And to sit back after a few "rehabilitation" days is highly discouraged. Take notebooks with you and write a personal diary, setting yourself the goal of writing a certain amount of text every day. You will be surprised at how calmer you can analyze those events that caused you a previously storm of emotions. Strengthening the nervous system as a process involves work, perhaps, a simple manual one. Although it can be and gluing aircraft models. Or maybe a simple knitting or embroidering with a cross. This can be done to a man, a calming effect for people of different sex is the same.

The second advice that the doctor of the 19th century would have given would be to perform an exercise. That is, move. Previously recommended walking, in our fast time is more often recommended to run. Although it depends on how often you run in everyday life, at least for a trolley. Probably, you will begin all the same with walking. The main thing is regularity. Strengthening the nervous system will be reflected in the fact that you will begin to react more calmly to something that was previously simply exploded. Ideally, a person who wants to heal nerves should run at a speed of 9 km per hour for 20-30 minutes. It will relax you and greatly improve sleep.

The third, more modern advice is to revise the diet. As a rule, nervous illnesses are caused not only by stress factors, but also by a generally incorrect way of life, including bad food habits.

First, give up simple sugars. No cornflakes in the morning! They will only force the brain, the nerve center to survive a sharp rise and an equally sharp drop in blood sugar. And it is very unpleasant, and even leads to excess weight. Better eat oatmeal or unsweetened muesli.

Secondly, it is necessary to consume large amounts of unsaturated fats. The structure of the human nervous system is such that for normal work, it needs a sufficient amount of fats, and "correct". Where to look? At your service fatty fish (by the way, herring too) and olive oil.

Third, it is necessary to eat enough protein. The absolute minimum, which can not be lowered - 25 g for someone who is medium-complex (about 70 kg). Without sufficient protein, it is impossible to strengthen the nervous system.

In general, it is not so difficult to return the body to the "right" rails. You just need to reduce the number of unpleasant factors, do sports and eat right. And in 1-2 weeks you will not recognize yourself.
