de la Inflamacion Al Bienestar

In this book, neuroscientist Elena Gallardo provides us with key information about our organism to help us understand why our modern life is not the environment for which we have evolved over the centuries. How does our brain process everything we experience on a daily basis? From the smallest moments of micro-stress to the most stressful situations generate a constant flow of data that directly affects our health and provokes responses in our body ranging from inflammation to emotional disorders. The author will uncover the mechanisms of our mind through a scientific approach to the brain-body relationship and will delve into the communication between the parts through the vagus nerve. In addition, we will understand the polyvagal theory, which explains the three states in which our nervous system operates: security, alertness and disconnection. Being aware of how we transition between these states is critical to maintaining our physical and mental balance, since feeling inflammation in our body may indicate inflammation in our brain. "From Inflammation to Wellness" addresses the factors that negatively impact our nervous system and how a well-regulated nervous system is essential to achieve overall health. We will also learn how to abandon the "automatic pilot" in which we usually live, taking advantage of the power of the brain to automate habits that are beneficial to us. Through practical exercises for the development of mindfulness and body awareness, we will obtain the tools to regulate ourselves and achieve a self-knowledge that improves our daily life and that of our environment.
