Vagus Nerve: The Key To Longevity And Reversing Age-Related Decline?
The healthier your Vagus Nerve - the Longer Your Life ?
New Groundbreaking studies are indicating this may be the case, actually - very cool !
Aging: your body's "check engine" light stuck ON?
Turns out, the vagus nerve—your chill-out guru—fades with age.
Less vagal "ommm" means more inflammation & grumpy old cells accumulate.
Cue the science: zapping the ear (aVNS) can reignite that vagal glow.
The result? Less inflammation, fewer senescent cells acting up.
Think of it as turning down the inflammatory noise.
Benefits in mice: better strength, endurance, and cells behaving younger.
Like a system reboot for a more vibrant you.
Vagus nerve: not just for digestion; it’s longevity’s conductor!
Vagus nerve integrity impacts the aging process. Declining vagal tone correlates with increased inflammation and cellular senescence.
Specifically, parasympathetic deregulation elevates inflammatory cytokines. This drives accumulation of senescent cells.
Auricular vagus nerve stimulation (aVNS) can restore vagal tone. This reduces senescence markers in key tissues.
aVNS suppresses cytokines and enhances mitophagy. The result is improved mitochondrial respiration.
Animal models demonstrate healthspan extension via aVNS. RNA sequencing confirms reversal of age-related gene expression.
These findings suggest the vagus nerve as a therapeutic target. Modulation may mitigate age-related decline.
