The body has special nerves known as CRANIAL NERVES.
They are 12.
I) Olfactory
II) Optic
III) Oculomotor
IV) Trochlear
V) Trigeminal
VI) Abducen
VII) Facial
VIII) Vestibulocochlear
IX) Glossopharyngeal
X) Vagus
XI) Accessory
XII) Hypoglossal
These cranial nerves affect sensory responses or motor responses or both.
Sensory responses are those signals that get relayed to the brain while motor responses are those signals relayed from the brain to affect muscular movement.
For example, if you touch a hot pan, the sensory nerves pick information from a hot pan and then relay it to the brain. Once the brain registers this information, the motor nerves send the information back to your hand to pull the hand away from the hot pan.
There is an important cranial nerve known as VAGUS NERVE. It is the 10th cranial nerve.
It is part of something called the parasympathetic nervous system which is responsible for rest, digestion and sleep.
It has both sensory and motor functions. It takes information from the organs it affects (heart, gut, lungs) and sends the information from the brain back to muscular tissues in the mouth, stomach and lungs.
For example, if you tickle your uvula, you will vomit. That's the vagus nerve at work.
The vagus nerve connects the gut to the brain. This connection is known as THE GUT-BRAIN AXIS.
This bidirectional communication pathway regulates the functions of the gut like appetite, digestion and absorption of food including the connection of emotions and cognitive functions between the brain and the gut.
The emotional and cognitive failure due to a weak vagus nerve explains why depressed or anxious people eat all the time. - and end up being obese.
When children refuse to eat or when adults refuse to eat, it is the vagus nerve sending important information about the gut.
THE VAGUS NERVE is the longest cranial nerve in the human body and the most important in digestion.
It helps in:
- breathing
- digestion
- heart beating
It also helps in swallowing, coughing and sneezing.
If this nerve becomes ineffective, then the body will suffer indigestion, bloating, slow heart rate & depression.
Most people walk around with a sick vagus nerve, but they don't know.
The VAGUS NERVE must remain effective and efficient.
If it fails, then the metabolic machine will also fail.
To make it efficient, you must:
1. Improve your breathing technique. Breath through your nostrils. Before bedtime, take a deep breath of 5 seconds then a deep exhalation of 5 seconds. Repeat for 3 minutes.
Also make deep, controlled breaths especially when sitting or walking or exercising.
2. Take long nature walks. Switch off your phone, no earphones. Just you, your steps and nature.
3. Eat salt. Add potassium citrate before bedtime.

I find that we are very contradictory as Kenyans. We decry corruption and looting of public funds by our leaders and civil servants who do it to fund their lavish lifestyles, yet get very puzzled and disappointed when people live within their means. These are salaried people who had responsibilities and a tight payslip from loans early on in their careers. I saw the same sentiment when SKM attended a relative's burial. Watu wakiuliza kwanini hakujengea his brother? The flasy mansions are built with our looted taxes! Why do we find their modest standards of living a turn-off?
You can be soooooo popular at your workplace, but trust me, if you're laid off today, no one from work will call you after 1 week. Avoid gossip. Don't brag. Do your job. Get paid. Go home. Dear son, Keep your private life to yourself.
