ParasympathikusAktivität

ParasympathikusAktivität refers to the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system, a division of the autonomic nervous system. This system is responsible for the "rest and digest" functions of the body, counterbalancing the "fight or flight" response of the sympathetic nervous system. When the parasympathetic nervous system is active, it promotes relaxation, conserves energy, and facilitates processes like digestion, heart rate slowing, and pupil constriction.

Key indicators of increased parasympathetic activity include a slower heart rate, decreased blood pressure, and increased gastrointestinal motility. It plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis, ensuring the body returns to a calm and balanced state after periods of stress or exertion. Activities such as deep breathing, meditation, and gentle exercise are known to stimulate parasympathetic activity. Understanding and influencing parasympathikusAktivität can be beneficial for managing stress, improving sleep, and supporting overall well-being. Its modulation is a target in various therapeutic approaches aimed at alleviating conditions associated with sympathetic overactivity.
