February is American Heart Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about cardiovascular health and the steps we can take to protect our hearts. While diet and exercise are commonly emphasized, one often-overlooked factor in heart health is the vagus nerve—a crucial player in regulating the body’s stress response and cardiovascular function.
The Vagus Nerve & Heart Health Connection
The vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve in the body, extending from the brainstem down to major organs, including the heart. It plays a vital role in the parasympathetic nervous system, often referred to as the "rest and digest" system. One of its key functions is regulating heart rate variability (HRV)—a crucial indicator of cardiovascular health.
A well-functioning vagus nerve helps to:
-
Lower resting heart rate, reducing strain on the heart
-
Regulate blood pressure, promoting overall circulation
-
Improve heart rate variability (HRV), which is linked to resilience against stress and improved longevity
-
Reduce inflammation, which is a major contributor to heart disease
How Neuvana’s Xen System Supports Heart Health
Neuvana’s Xen system is designed to stimulate the vagus nerve safely and effectively through gentle electrical pulsesdelivered via special headphones. Regular use of Xen can support heart health by: Enhancing HRV, improving the body’s ability to respond to stress Reducing stress & anxiety, lowering the risk of hypertension Promoting relaxation, which helps regulate blood pressure and cardiovascular function Encouraging better sleep, allowing the heart to recover and function optimally
Prioritizing Heart Health This Month & Beyond
While traditional heart-healthy habits like exercise and balanced nutrition remain essential, incorporating vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) with Neuvana Xen can provide an additional layer of support. By keeping the nervous system balanced and heart rate regulated, you can take a proactive approach to cardiovascular wellness.
