A person is arranged in such a way that he almost daily worries about his loved ones and worries about things that are important to him, because modern life constantly throws him stressful situations. All this has a negative impact on the central as well as the autonomic nervous system. Moreover, such an impact does not go unnoticed. Negative emotions lead to the development of physical and mental pathologies. After all, we know that “all diseases are from the nerves.”
How to keep your he alth? Who should first of all pay attention to strengthening the nervous system? Let's try to understand this issue.
Nervous system and its power
Which people are most prone to stress? Of course, those who have a weak type of nervous system. Moreover, according to experts, with each new generation the number of such people is constantly increasing.
This or that margin of safety, which differsnervous system is given to every person from birth. This indicator indicates the performance and endurance of all nerve cells in our body. If the National Assembly has sufficient strength, then it is able to withstand any, sometimes even the strongest excitations. Cell inhibition does not occur in this case. Thus, the difference between people with a strong and weak nervous system is that the first of them are able to withstand superstrong stimuli. And if the National Assembly is weak? Then its owners cannot boast of patience. They are unable to withstand exposure to strong stimuli. It is difficult for them to retain the information that has come to them. That is why people with weak nerves share it with everyone, sometimes even with the first people they meet. Indeed, in such situations, the National Assembly starts to slow down or stops working altogether.
Nevertheless, a weak nervous system has its advantages. For example, it has increased sensitivity and is able to easily distinguish between ultra-weak signals.
Signs of weak NS in adults
What is the difference between a person whom nature could not endow with a strong nervous system? First of all, he shows indifference in most issues. Such a reaction suggests that the individual perceives any blows of fate without expressing his protest. A weak type of nervous system makes a person lazy. Moreover, this can be observed not only in relation to its psychological, but also physical characteristics. This is confirmed by people living in poverty and doing nothing.attempts to correct the situation and change their position in society.
Another sign of a weak nervous system is indecision. A person who is characterized by increased sensitivity is ready to obey everyone. Sometimes such people are possessed to such an extent that they turn into living robots.
Considering the characteristics of a weak nervous system, it is worth noting the constant doubts of its owners. Such a person often makes excuses, thereby trying to veil his failures. And he doubts not only himself. The distrust of people with a weak nervous system is also caused by the one who tries to help him in this or that matter. This is sometimes expressed in envy of someone who is more successful and better in this life.
What else relates to the characteristics of a weak nervous system? By excitement, expressed in anxiety, such people stand out from all the others. Such manifestations clearly indicate a significantly reduced indicator of nerve strength. Constant anxiety often leads a person to mental disorders and even breakdowns. After all, such people live in constant fear. Fears take away their vitality and age prematurely. It should be understood that certain worries, and sometimes great difficulties, are possible for each person. However, people who have a strong nervous system meet them quite calmly on their life path, trying to find a way out of this situation. Excessive anxiety will not help solve the problem. It only takes away he alth and brings old age closer.
It is also possible to identify a person with a weak nervous system by their extreme caution. In order to realize their own plans and ideas, such people always need the right moment, which they constantly wait for. This sometimes becomes a habit. As a result, overly cautious people become pessimists, as they constantly think about the possible failure that could ruin their life's work. All this translates into indigestion, nervousness, inactive blood circulation and many other diseases and negative factors.
Signs of weak NS at an early age
What is characteristic of impressionable children? From an early age, they are extremely sensitive and receptive. At the same time, the child’s weak nervous system allows him to easily notice even the most insignificant changes that occur in the mood of the people around him. In addition, such children hear even the faintest sounds, rustles, and see slight shades. Such a child can even notice what is inaccessible to many of his environment. This, for example, is a slight shadow of annoyance or a spark of joy on the face of the interlocutor, as well as minor changes in the gait of a person, in his suit, made by him invisible to many movements.
When a child has a weak nervous system, the process of reading books and watching movies is very emotional. The plot captures these children so much that tears can often be seen in their eyes. And even after reading and watching, despite the fact that they forcedworry about events already in the past, memories of them cause inexplicable pain in the soul of a child with a weak nervous system.
Such children have increased nervousness and sensitivity in those cases when they find themselves in an unusual and unfamiliar environment and have to do or decide something on their own. And let it be even some trifle, but the tension of the child can be seen even on his face.
Children with a weak nervous system stand out from all others in physical work and in educational activities. It is much easier for a teacher to work with such students. He easily teaches them to carefully perform everyday activities, unlike children with a strong type of nervous system, especially choleric and sanguine. Impressive students perform better in a monotonous environment. It is not difficult for such children to get used to the daily routine. The fact is that monotonous activity does not cause much excitement, which in a child with a weak nervous system is a kind of protection against overexpenditure and fatigue. All this should be taken into account by teachers and parents of impressionable children, without loading them, among other things, with intense and prolonged mental or physical work. After all, such tasks will be too tiring for a small person.
It should also be borne in mind that children with a weak nervous system get tired very quickly when creating new conditions. That is, their education in the first and fifth grade becomes especially difficult. They will be best able to work from home, where no one can disturb them, orsitting at a separate table in a quiet library. In the case of creating a tense and noisy environment, students with a weak nervous system do not cope well with the task. After all, easy tasks for them immediately become difficult. When passing exams, as well as during other exciting events, such children are usually lethargic or passive, noisy or irritable. They look sick or exhausted.
Impressive students, unlike their peers who have a strong nervous system, are often constrained in cases that require them to act according to the prevailing situation. If the teacher asks such children an unexpected question, then it is difficult for them to answer it immediately. As a rule, at such moments, the student has a confused look and a tense face, not knowing where to put himself.
When taking exams, such children show excessive excitement. This leads to loss of appetite, to the occurrence of insomnia, or is fraught with nightmares. In such situations, any feasible task seems unbearable, and an already solved task that has the wrong answer. After passing exams, sensitive children calm down and are perplexed about their past worries. But similar things will certainly happen again when similar circumstances arise.
Impressive kids sometimes get offended over a trifle. They may even cry if the conversation ended before they arrived, or if a joke (not on them) was passed on that made everyone laugh.
Connection of body and mind
Every change that occurs in the human body is bound toaffects his he alth. That is why in medicine there is such a direction as psychosomatics, which establishes a connection between the mental processes occurring in the human body and its physiological state.
Any stress factor causes a protective reaction of the body, which is expressed in muscle tension. This allows a person to maintain he alth. After all, when the body is tense, the soul is relaxed. When such situations occur infrequently, they do not carry any negative consequences for the body. However, when accidental psychotraumas degenerate into protracted stresses, a person becomes ill. His pathology belongs to the psychosomatic type, which causes difficulties in making an accurate diagnosis. While doctors are looking for the origins of the disease, a person loses vigor and sleep, efficiency and energy. His ability to enjoy life disappears, and minor inconveniences gradually develop into significant problems.
Failures in the physiological processes of the body lead to pathologies of the mental sphere. A person has to live, experiencing chronic fatigue, irritation, anxiety and vague anxiety. Within a short time, this condition develops into a neurotic disorder that significantly worsens the quality of life.
What to do with a weak nervous system? How to maintain he alth and prevent the development of many diseases? To achieve a significant effect, simple methods will help, which will be described below.

- produce a gradual increase in the degree of cooling;
- perform procedures regularly.
Physical activity
All living things must move, and do it as actively as possible. This will allow the body to constantly use the accumulated stress hormones in it.
With regular physical activity, a person's working capacity increases. His brain is saturated with oxygen, and the body increases its resistance to stress. In addition, physical activity is an excellent prevention of many diseases. The most useful during its implementation is the removal of mental and nervous tension.

Bad habits
Restore nerves, while receiving a positive result, is possible only if you refuse alcohol, cigarettes or psychoactive substances. The absence of bad habits in a person is the main condition for the he alth of the body.
For example, many people believe that alcohol is practically harmless. However, even with a rare use of small amounts of alcoholic beverages, there is an increased excitation of the nervous system and malfunctions in its work. Regular drinking leads to the development of various diseases. These ailments also affect the nervous system.
As for smoking, it reduces a person's attentiveness, memory and even the level of intelligence. A similar effect is due to the narrowing of the vessels of the brain, provoking oxygen starvation, as well as in connection with the ingestion of toxic substances that are present in cigarettes.
Even a cup of coffee negatively affects the nervous system. At first, it increases the activity of NS, and then sharply reduces it. Gradually, the nervous system is depleted. This also happens whendrinking energy drinks.
Proper nutrition
There are a number of products that can strengthen the human psyche and nervous system. That is why, to get the desired result, you will need to include in the menu:
- Nuts, cottage cheese, soy, fish and chicken meat. They contain proteins responsible for the functioning of reflexes and the entire central nervous system.
- Fats. Their use allows you to increase efficiency, strengthen emotional he alth and tone the central nervous system.
- Carbohydrates. Their main source is cereals, which provide energy to the brain and allow you to strengthen the nerves.
- Vitamins of group B (1, 6 and 12), as well as A, C, D and E. Fish and nuts, vegetables and fruits, bran, eggs and oatmeal can saturate them.
- Minerals (magnesium, iron, calcium, zinc). Their presence in the body contributes to the production of substances that contribute to the functioning and strengthening of the central nervous system. Chicory and chocolate, milk and cereals, nuts, vegetables and fish contain the greatest amount of minerals.
Daily routine
He althy and deep sleep can give the nervous system more strength. During rest, the body is restored and cells are renewed.
But early waking up, frequent awakenings, superficial sleep and lack of sleep loosen the nerves. In the absence of normal rest, a person becomes apathetic and lethargic, he has difficulty concentrating and does not think well. Often, lack of sleep manifests itself in communication in the form of outbreaks of aggression and irritation.
Nature
There is another perfect helper,allowing to form a strong psyche and a he althy nervous system. It is nature that heals itself. A person will only need to leave the city, sit on the river bank and start admiring the sun, which is reflected in the water. Communication with nature makes a person inspired and peaceful. It normalizes the nervous system and sometimes even cures physical ailments.
