What is your limbic system and how do you manage it effectively?

First, what is the limbic system?
It has 4 main components:
-Amygdala
-Hippocampus
-Hypothalamus
-Thalamus

Amygdala:
This is the emotional sensor of your brain
This is where fear conditioning occurs
When stimulated, emotions of anger, violence, fear and anxiety can be evoked
When damaged, it can lead to the Kluver-Bucy syndrome

When stimulated, emotions of anger, violence, fear and anxiety can be evoked
When damaged, it can lead to the Kluver-Bucy syndrome
That syndrome leads to hyper-orality, hypersexuality, disinhibited behaviour
Hippocampus:
It is in close proximity to the amygdala
It is responsible for forming and storing new memories
So basically consolidating short term memories into long term ones
A damaged hippocampus leads to anterograde amnesia
The inability to form new memories

Hypothalamus:
A small group of nuclei thay plays a role in regulating the endocrine system (close connection to pituitary gland)
It has an important role in regulating the autonomic nervous system
Basically fight and flight, rest and digest

Thalamus:
Located just above the hypothalamus
It is the main relay station in the brain
Sensory and motor signals sent to and from spinal cord and cerebrum
This includes senses like see, hear, feel, taste, touch
These have a huge infuence on our emotions

So I hope you have by now figured out that is kind if important, yes?
Lets move on to how we keep a healthy limbic system

-Artificial sweeteners
-Refined carbs
Eat more:

2. Optimise your breathing
So many people breathe wrong and the poor souls have no clue
Take long, deep breaths instead of short, shallow ones
Breathe consciously

4. Reduce electromagnetic field exposure
-Get in nature more (no phone)
-Take all gadgets out of room when going to bed
Basically tell all your gadgets to fuck off for a couple of hours a day
