Shift work can be brutal, but it doesn't have to be. As a veteran 24/7 shift worker of almost four decades, I discuss evidence-based strategies in Nutrition, Health & Wellbeing, to help you live a happy and healthy life with more energy to thrive while performing shift work.
THIS EPISODE
"How you breathe matters"
As shift workers, our body is already stressed by being out of sync with its circadian rhythm (Biological Clock)
The way we breathe is a window into which state of our autonomic nervous system we are in.
Are you in a sympathetic (fight or flight) or a parasympathetic (rest and digest) state?
During this episode I discuss
- The 3 sides of the autonomic nervous system
- The Enteric nervous system (ENS)
- The Sympathetic nervous system (SNS)
- The Parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS)
- How to check which state you are in
- How to get back into a parasympathetic state quickly.
- Why does it matter so much?
