The relationship between temperature difference fatigue and the autonomic nervous system
The difference in temperature between morning and evening can make you feel tired and unable to sleep... The cause may be "temperature fatigue." We will introduce how to make your body more resilient to seasonal changes through chiropractic treatment that regulates the autonomic nervous system.
During this season when the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, do you ever feel like your body is heavy or that you can't get rid of your fatigue even after sleeping?
This condition is called "temperature difference fatigue" and is related to a disturbance in the autonomic nervous system. Temperature differences cause stress to the body, and when temperature regulation becomes difficult, it becomes more likely to cause stiff shoulders, headaches, insomnia, and other symptoms. By regulating your autonomic nervous system through chiropractic treatment, you can help your body withstand the changes of the seasons.
What is temperature difference fatigue? The stress that temperature differences cause to the body
Why do temperature differences make you tired?
The human body's autonomic nervous system regulates body temperature in response to changes in the outside temperature.
When there is a large difference in temperature, the autonomic nervous system continues to work at full capacity, causing fatigue and disrupting blood flow and hormone balance.
"Thermoregulation function" controlled by the autonomic nervous system
The autonomic nervous system controls body temperature through a balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. When there is a sustained temperature difference, this balance is disrupted, putting the body in a constant state of tension, which can lead to fatigue and insomnia.
Symptoms and signs of temperature fatigue
-
Stiff shoulders, stiff neck, headaches
-
Body fatigue and loss of motivation
-
Cold hands and feet and poor circulation
-
I still feel tired when I wake up in the morning
If this condition continues, it can lead to a weakening of the immune system and a decline in concentration.
An approach to regulating the autonomic nervous system through chiropractic
Improve your body's ability to regulate body temperature by focusing on the spine, pelvis, and breathing
In chiropractic, we correct misalignment of the spine and pelvis and help the autonomic nervous system function by deep breathing. Deep breathing switches the body into relaxation mode, which is effective in improving chills and fatigue.
Relaxing breathing exercises you can do at home
Just focusing on deep breathing for three minutes a day can help activate your parasympathetic nervous system.
Inhale: through nose for 4 seconds
・Stop: 2 seconds
・Exhale: From the mouth for 8 seconds
Doing this "4, 2, 8 breathing" before going to bed helps regulate your autonomic nervous system.
summary
The discomfort caused by temperature changes is an SOS sign from your body, and if left untreated, it can lead to chronic fatigue.
At Re・Set, we support the creation of a body that can withstand the seasons through chiropractic treatments that regulate the autonomic nervous system.
