Detailed explanation-1: -The vagus nerve carries an extensive range of signals from digestive system and organs to the brain and vice versa. It is the tenth cranial nerve, extending from its origin in the brainstem through the neck and the thorax down to the abdomen.
Detailed explanation-2: -X. The vagus nerve has a range of functions, providing motor, sensory, and parasympathetic functions. The sensory part provides sensation to the outer part of the ear, throat, heart, and abdominal organs. It also plays a role in taste sensation. The motor part provides movement to the throat and soft palate.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cold exposure stimulates the vagus and increases your rest-and-digest response. Take a cold shower if you can. If that’s too intimidating, finish your hot shower with 45-60 seconds of cold water exposure.
