84 Useful Autonomic Nervous System Facts You Can Use Right Now

It goes without saying that humans are greatly influenced by the condition of their body.
If your body organs are functioning smoothly and you eat well, sleep well, and rest well, you can start the day feeling good and easily overcome external stimuli (stress or germs).
Then, when something goes wrong with the body, not only the body but also the mood (psychology) becomes depressed.
Many people often attribute low mood to psychological or volitional issues, but upon closer inspection, it turns out that mood and psychological issues also stem from changes in the human body! This is especially true when there's a problem with the autonomic nervous system.

If you have been experiencing unusual symptoms such as insomnia or headaches for which you cannot find a cause lately, it may be due to an imbalance in the autonomic nervous system.
The autonomic nervous system is a type of peripheral nervous system that unconsciously controls the functions of the body's internal organs.
When there is a problem with the autonomic nervous system, the internal organs do not function properly, which causes abnormalities in the body.
Therefore, the autonomic nervous system must function properly for the body tissues, including internal organs, to move actively.
Maintaining the health of the autonomic nervous system, the 'control tower of the body,' is an important task for preventing disease and living a happy life.
In that sense, this book, "Concepts Made Easy! Easy to Understand! The Structure of the Autonomic Nervous System," can be considered a book for autonomic nervous system health.
It is composed of easy-to-understand illustrations and explanations, so you can understand the autonomic nervous system, an organ of our body, and get advice for your health.

Health science for a happy and healthy life,
The story of our body's autonomic nervous system!

As the name suggests, the autonomic nervous system allows our body to function properly on its own.
It controls all functions essential to sustaining life, including breathing, blood circulation, body temperature regulation, digestion, excretion, reproductive function, and immunity.
But since it operates automatically without any special action, we are usually unaware of its existence.
It's only after a problem arises that we begin to wonder what the autonomic nervous system is.
This book contains everything about the autonomic nervous system that will answer these questions.

"Concepts are easy to understand! The Structure of the Autonomic Nervous System" is divided into four chapters.
Chapter 1 explores the types of nerves, what type of nerve is the autonomic nervous system, the basic principles of the autonomic nervous system, which consists of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, and myths related to the autonomic nervous system.
Chapter 2 summarizes the relationship between lifestyle habits and the autonomic nervous system.
In particular, we will look at lifestyle habits that have a negative impact on the autonomic nervous system, the connection between the autonomic nervous system and the biological clock, and the relationship between exercise, sleep, and diet.
Chapter 3 provides various methods for regulating the autonomic nervous system when problems arise.
You will learn simple and ingenious methods you might not have thought of, such as breathing, posture, laughter, tears, and nutrition.
Chapter 4 explores interesting facts and cutting-edge research topics in the autonomic nervous system, which still has much to learn.
We organize new stories using keywords such as stress, pupils, myocardial infarction, and weather.
