Former mayor Ray Wallace's first day in his new job

Matt Tso Reporter from The Hutt News

Is Ray Wallace popular or polarising?

After nine years as mayor Ray Wallace didn't even have his feet under the desk of his new job at Ray White Kemeys Brothers real estate when he was described as polarising in a press release sent out by his new boss. An updated release shortly after switched "polarizing" out for "popular".

🧠AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM!🧠

The Chiro from The Chiro - Lower Hutt

The ANS is responsible for regulating involuntary bodily functions - heartbeat, digestion, respiratory rate, glandular secretion, hormonal balance, immune response
We do not consciously control this part of our nervous system! It is innately wired, and operates behind the scenes. The primary objective of the ANS is to maintain internal balance (homeostasis) and allow the body to respond appropriately to changes in the environment. 🧠🧬🧘‍♂️
The two main division of the ANS - Sympathetic and Parasympathetic - work to regulate all physiological processes within the body:

🟣 SYMPATHETIC (fight or flight system):
😳 Responds to stress and perceived threats
😳 Prepares body for action by increasing heart rate, dilating airways, and releasing adrenaline
😳 Designed for short-term performance enhancement in order to survive
🟣 PARASYMPATHETIC (rest, digest, recover, heal):
😇 Promotes relaxation and conservation of energy
😇 Regulates bodily functions during restful states, and diverts energy to processes not necessary in stress response state
😇 Allows the body to recover, restore and heal
If both divisions are working appropriately, the body can adapt well to changes in its external and internal environments. When we over-activate the fight-or-flight response, it can inhibit parasympathetic function - lowering our overall resilience to stress and limiting our ability to heal optimally! 🚨😳
Restoring balance to the Autonomic Nervous System allows the body to THRIVE! 🧠⚡️
