Yoga and meditation: Both yoga and meditation involve deep breathing and relaxation techniques that activate the vagus nerve.
Massage: Massaging the neck and abdomen stimulates the vagus nerve and helps reduce inflammation.
Certain foods: Eating fermented foods, such as yogurt and sauerkraut, promotes the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut, which can stimulate the vagus nerve.
