At a time when emotions and information are falling upon us from all sides, few can say that his nerves are iron. Our ancestors were much easier in this regard. Although their life was quite boring by our standards. However, some methods aimed at strengthening the nervous system were used then, but because we will mention them too.
So, what was recommended to nervous people in antiquity? Go to the village and allow the nervous system to move away a bit from city stresses. In our time, agritourism is good for these purposes, however, wellness will also help. But you should not go to exotic countries if the problems with nerves are serious. Too many impressions of a sensitive person can lead to a real nervous breakdown. Moreover, in too unusual countries conflict situations are possible. And a person who is interested in restoring the nervous system due to necessity is usually not able to adequately resolve conflicts. And what kind of rest is it? Therefore, it is best to go to a familiar resort, to relatives or to a sanatorium.
At the same time, you need to sleep as much as possible the first few days, and also try to organize yourself a daytime sleep, which gives an excellent effect, better than a night one. However, then you should go to strict mode with an 8-hour night sleep. And lounging after a few "rehabilitation" days is highly discouraged. Take notebooks with you and write a personal diary, with the goal of writing a certain amount of text every day. You will be surprised at how much calmer you can analyze those events that previously caused a storm of emotions in you. Strengthening the nervous system as a process involves work, possibly simple manual work. Although this may be the bonding of aircraft models. Or maybe simple knitting or cross-stitching. This can be done for a man, the calming effect for people of different sexes is the same.
The second advice that a 19th century doctor would give is to do exercise. That is, move. Previously recommended walking, in our fast time, running is more often recommended. Although it depends on how often you run in everyday life, at least for a trolley bus. Perhaps you will begin with walking. The main thing is regularity. Strengthening the nervous system will be reflected in the fact that you will begin to react more calmly to what you simply exploded from before. Ideally, a person who wants to heal nerves should run at a speed of 9 km per hour for 20-30 minutes. This will relax you and greatly improve your sleep.
A third, more modern piece of advice is to rethink nutrition. As a rule, nervous diseases are caused not only by stress factors, but also by a generally incorrect lifestyle, including bad eating habits.
First, give up simple sugars. No cornflakes in the morning! They only make the brain, the nerve center survive a sharp rise and no less sharp decline in blood sugar. And this is very unpleasant, and even leads to excess weight. Better eat oatmeal or unsweetened granola.
Secondly, it is necessary to consume unsaturated fats in large quantities. The structure of the human nervous system is such that for normal operation it needs a sufficient amount of fat, moreover, the "right" ones. Where to looking for? Oily fish (by the way, herring too) and olive oil are at your service.
Thirdly, be sure to eat enough protein. The absolute minimum, which cannot be lowered below, is 25 g for someone who is moderately complex (about 70 kg). Without a sufficient amount of protein, it is impossible to strengthen the nervous system.
In general, it is not so difficult to return the body to the "right" rails. It is only necessary to reduce the number of unpleasant factors, go in for sports and eat right. And after 1-2 weeks you will not recognize yourself.
