(+) Acetylcholine ⼄醯膽鹼 TRIGGER by SLEEP & PRIVATE MOMENT ”Energize System” To Increase Acetylcholine You’ve had a busy week, so you make it an early night sleep and treat yourself to a long lie-in to start the weekend. On Saturday morning, as you go slowly about your day, you realise that you are breathing out in long sighs and having feelings of relief. This is your re-balancing and renewal energy system kicking in, driven by acetylcholine, the key chemical in the parasympathetic nervous system. Few people outside of the science or health fields know about acetylcholine, but it is responsible for hugely important areas like energy renewal, recovery from pressure, learning and memory. It brings the heart rate back to normal after intense activity and restores the balance of the organism as a whole in the process of homeostasis. This is true for all types of intense activity: emotional, mental, physical, or all three. The signature feeling of acetylcholine is balance. BRAIN-HACKING TIPS : To quickly relax and stimulate acetylcholine production after a hard day, take a Mindfulness, a hot bath with Epsom salts in it. Minerals such as magnesium and potassium (vital for renewal) will be absorbed through the skin and your energy will come flooding back–and you’ll sleep better … and take some sleep supplement can help.
