Did you know that during embryo development, 🤰 the heart starts forming on day 18, while the brain starts forming on day 30? 🗓 After that, the brain & heart work together for the duration of a lifetime! ❤️∞🧠
Eating a healthy diet 🥒 & proper exercising 🏋️♀️ contribute to heart health. Those health benefits are passed along to the brain too. Keeping your heart & brain in sync 🔄 comes down to managing cholesterol, blood sugar, blood pressure & maintaining a healthy weight. Your brain signals your heart to pump oxygenated blood to your heart. In response, the heart delivers the blood to your body. 💗
But your heart is not just a muscle pumping blood — it truly has a mind of its own! 💥 Your heart contains more than 40,000 neurons & neurotransmitters. ⚛️ It’s literally an extension of the same network inside your brain. Your heart is responsible for producing a hormone that triggers the brain to release Oxytocin — often referred to as the “#love” hormone 😍 because it triggers feelings of empathy, trust & relationship-building! 🥰
Love & compassion are complex emotions that require your heart & brain to work together. ❤️👫🧠
Adrenaline can be a good thing, helping you act when you might have otherwise frozen; but sometimes it causes nerves to stand on edge. At times, the brain-heart connection & nerves can get so out of whack they can cause panic attacks! One way to keep your emotions in check is to focus on your breathing. 🌬
Deep breathing is an excellent coping skill for anxiety, as trying to be mindful of your emotions & your breathing helps lower your heart rate. 🧘🏻♂️
Monitoring your heart rate (through an app📱) will make you more aware of your diet, exercise, sleeping & other behaviors that affect your heart & brain. In this VALENTINE'S Day, I wish you & all your loved ones a wonderful Valentine's Day spent together. Hoping it's full of chocolates, flowers & lots of love! I wish you & your family a very happy Valentine's Day! Spend this special time together & remind each other how much you're appreciated, while sharing this awareness can be very helpful in managing stress! 🙌
