8:46 am
seen amino acids that are converted into serotonin. our main feel good hormone by deficiency of this hormone, can lead to bad boots and stress. so what exactly does that mean? what should we eat? as of as well as we think that's a particularly important coconut oil, linseed oil, olive oil and the omega 3 fatty acids and fish and fish. complex carbohydrates and fiber are also very important regina whole grain, bread, oatmeal, or nuts, nissen vegetable and animal proteins are also very important. easily digestible types are found in cheese and milk, but also in things like lentils, and in for the beat up how the right food is good brain food. to how much notice cops? good. we don't hardly have our head brain here, but as so called 2nd brain to known as the god brain. do you like?
8:47 am
and it is directly connected to our head brain. firstly by the vegas snell for a very long nerve that runs down from the brain stem. it to the digest consistent and secondly, throughout intestinal bacteria down but for them and they need to be fed the right foods. because the composition of our gut bacteria is key to our well being. what's happening after the studies have found that paypal, who's got bacteria, is not so well balanced, tend towards depression zoned to close jordan and vice versa. or they got bacteria of depressed pay po changes dramatically. i'm bacteria williams, at sundown, stock for for a feel good meal. you can combine foods in many different ways. most important use fresh ingredients as than thicker. cavellas with the curry, mongo seat with ginger than less than a tasty pastor with a spicy source like our b auto done on liquids. and then
8:48 am
a delicious chocolate pudding for dessert is working with every one i've made this for has been happy on wednesday he among the caught up. another great ingredient is saffron. it's even said to have a euphoric effect. housey and there's an old persian sang that you shouldn't eat too much saffron, because you could laugh yourself to death and she is on before. but that's because the body relates his lots of phil good hormones. when we eat a lot of saffron, almost to the point of ecstasy, chile and garlic can also lift moves since they trigger endorphins. and now and then even a bit of sugar helps. because foods can only lift your spirits if they taste good too. so feel free to experiment, combining fun and good food, pretty much guarantees happiness. oh, okay, so we can all land some anti stress tricks. make sure we exercise regularly. and
8:49 am
include plenty of fish and fresh vegetables in our diet. but what can we do to keep ourselves motivated for start? we can massage alec is right here. that stimulates the vegas nef and firing up the vegas nav boosts our immune system, reduce as muscle tension and lowest blood pressure. it also helps regulate digestion, and it increases amortization in a small year device could provide help here at to be in university hospital. a team led by neuropsychologist meals, coin my, his research and a new procedure, sending electrical impulses through the ear to the vegas nerve. it's one of the bodies largest nerves get i was to have had a vegas. iron has a whole range of functions. it helps us by relaying signals from the body and guiding her behavior so that we do the right thing and keep everything in balance,
8:50 am
gets a tune on these. and alice guy had switched. there is evidence that in many diseases, the perception of these bodily signals is impaired. that can lead us to eating more than we actually need, for example, in the esl as the eyeglass. and i get susan's name. listen to the biggest nerve is our longest cranial nerve. it runs from the brain stem through the neck and chest to the abdomen and sends information from the heart, kidneys, liver, spleen, and digestive organs to the brain. it tells us when we feel full stimulating the vaguest nerve can lower blood pressure, boost the immune system, and re leave chronic pain. neils chroma and his team want to find out how the vegas nerve can be influenced with the ear device. stay home and by dave i was there for life that the vegas nerve runs through the entire upper body. but it also runs through the ear and from there into the brain stem via it
8:51 am
a quarter if replacing electric in the ear. yeah, we can adjust the stimulation so that we can effectively trigger signals in the brain stem holla in him. so we assumed that by changing the signals of the brain, we can influence behavior on for and, and an office for heightened bind, fulsome control. when the electrode is fitted properly in the ear, it delivers mild, electrical surges to the vaguest nerve. they should be noticeable but not painful. this process allows information passing through the nerve to be modified in a targeted way. research shows that such stimulation can help with depression and improve mood and motivation fields. chroma is exploring whether it can also have an impact on eating behavior and the extent to which we feel full after eating. he's leading a study that he hopes will answer these questions. food doesn't play a role in the experiment. instead, participants carry out monotonous tasks on
8:52 am
a computer like holding a ball above a line, but constantly hitting a button. how long can they keep performing such a dull task? during the game, the vegas nerve is stimulated with electrical impulses. the experiment is designed to find out if that increases the participants motivation. then v it's i concluded that if we can show that stimulating the vegas nerve produces an acute effect. then the next step is to see if we can derive a therapy procedure from it. and repeatedly influenced motivation by stimulating the vegas know all by inflows and come can we use it to increase motivation in such a way that we can induce healthier behavior? you gazande of us a hyphen i'm, they can come in the procedures used to date, mainly in the united states. the electrodes are surgically implanted in the body of the patient and connected directly to the nerve tracts in the upper torso. the
8:53 am
method being tested here in germany does not require surgery stimulating the nerve via the e device. instead, this makes it much less complicated to use. initial study results show that the stimulation does indeed have a quantifiable positive effect on the participants motivation. but how could the technique be used to influence eating behavior? okay, come and this, this, that i think you can basically imagine it like this. you eat something healthy at them, but it feels like you've eaten something more calories ethical to. this could be helpful in the initial phase of trying to lose weight. that is, you understood. so india, india, most participants who start a diet do initially lose a bit of weight. but the problem is that relatively quickly, they compensate. so listen to the heat more and then in some cases, gain more weight than they lost before may ethan on dantes and me at suny him as if
8:54 am
we're out. good mamma. that's exactly would vegas nerve stimulation is designed to prevent research is still in its infancy. but initial successes with eating disorders and depression give hope that it could also be used to treat obesity. and perhaps the procedure could help prevent obesity too. by his visor, many people are overweight but not yet at the stage where it would be seen as a disease that needs treating. but we know that excess weight is also a risk factor for the later development of metabolic diseases. and so cut and so you could start with this procedure and people who are still healthy to support certain behavioral changes and prevent diseases from developing in the 1st place. sits on david. so for my message, yes, i can't go into more motivation just by stimulating the vegas nerve. fun is also very motivating. let's join fitness trainer. oh galia. she knows how to
