Key takeaway: 👉 COVID-19 can leave lasting “energy scars” in the body at a molecular level, underscoring the need for long-term care, monitoring, and research investment beyond the acute infection. 5/5 nature.com/articles/s4159…
These findings help explain why some people experience prolonged fatigue, weakness, heart problems, and metabolic complications after COVID-19. They also highlight mitochondria as a potential target for future treatments and rehabilitation strategies. 4/
Importantly, people with COVID-19 showed abnormally high levels of proteins that control mitochondrial structure and stress responses, suggesting long-term damage to the cell’s energy system. 3/
By comparing people who died from severe COVID-19, those who recovered, and healthy individuals, researchers found lasting changes in how mitochondrial genes are regulated. These changes were most prominent in genes involved in energy production and metabolism. 2/
COVID-19 doesn’t just affect the lungs — it can disrupt how cells produce energy. New research shows that COVID-19 alters the genetic “switches” that control mitochondria, the structures that power our cells. 1/
New evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2 infection may contribute to hippocampal damage, which is linked to the cognitive and executive dysfunctions seen in many post-COVID patients. ➡️ The mechanisms include astrocyte and microglial activation, blood–brain barrier disruption,…
Recent research demonstrates that sera from individuals with ME/CFS and #LongCOVID directly impair healthy skeletal muscle, reducing contractile force, inducing mitochondrial stress, and causing structural damage. ➡️ These findings implicate circulating blood-borne factors as…
8.Laughter Laughter drops your major stress hormones and boosts ''feel-good'' neurotransmitters instantly. It activates the vagus nerve, shifts you into parasympathetic mode, and creates a full-body sense of relaxation and mental clarity.
7.Exercise and Massage Movement boosts brain-derived growth factors and strengthens your mitochondria (both of which improve vagus nerve function) Even simple foot reflexology reduces the fight-or-flight response. And gentle massage along the carotid area can help stimulate…
How to tell if your vagus nerve is weak: • You get bloated easily or have slow digestion (vagus controls gut motility) • Your heart rate stays high at rest • You have low HRV on any wearable • You struggle to relax after stress (poor parasympathetic activation) If these…
6.Omega-3 Fatty Acids These essential fats support the electrical signaling of your brain and nervous system. Omega-3s help strengthen vagus nerve activity, improve heart rate variability, and naturally lower heart rate and blood pressure.
5.Meditation Meditation directly activates the vagus nerve and strengthens vagal tone. It lowers fight-or-flight activity, slows your heart rate, and shifts your body into a calm, restorative state. A few minutes of deep stillness can reset your entire system.
4.Increase Gut Bacteria The vagus nerve is tightly linked to your intestines. Stronger gut bacteria = stronger signals back to your brain. Add probiotics and fermented foods (a healthier microbiome directly improves vagal tone and boosts your gut-brain connection.)
3.Singing, Humming, or Gargling The vagus nerve runs through your vocal cords, so using your voice activates it naturally. Sing in the car, hum while you work, or gargle daily (these simple movements stimulate the nerve and help your body shift into a calmer state.)
2. Deep Slow Breathing Most people take 10-14 breaths per minute. You want 6 breaths per minute. Breathe deeply from your diaphragm - your stomach should expand outward. Make your exhales long and slow (practice this for a few minutes daily)
1. Cold Exposure Cold water on your face, short cold showers, or being in cool temperatures activates the vagus nerve. This lowers your fight-or-flight response and increases parasympathetic activity:
Your muscles clear glucose in two different ways after a meal. Most people only use one. When you sit after eating, glucose disposal depends almost entirely on insulin signaling from the pancreas. That pathway works, but it has limited capacity, which is why post-meal glucose…
As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. taught us, darkness cannot drive out darkness, and hate cannot drive out hate. Only light and love can do that. So today, let’s remember our responsibilities to march hand in hand, to stand peacefully with dignity and purpose in the ongoing fight…
