The Calm You’re Craving Starts With a Nerve… Literally.

AC Art Of Food | Tasty Blog | This Week

Let’s talk calm—not the spa-day kind, but the built-in, biological, blood-type-aligned kind.

If you’ve been feeling wired, foggy, bloated, or tense, your nervous system is likely stuck in overdrive. But what if we told you that the key to calm already lives inside you?

Meet your vagus nerve—the body’s secret stress reset switch.

What Is the Vagus Nerve?

The vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve in your body, running from your brainstem down through your neck, chest, and gut. It plays a huge role in:

• Slowing your heart rate

• Enhancing digestion

• Reducing inflammation

• Balancing mood and clarity

• Lowering cortisol—the stress hormone

In short, your vagus nerve is the master regulator of rest and digest mode. And when you stimulate it regularly, your body knows it’s safe—so it can heal, restore, and function at its best.

Finding Your Vagus "Calm Switch"

🩸 Blood Type & the Vagus Nerve: Your Personalized Calm

AC Art Of Food champions holistic healing through blood type wellness. And when it comes to calming your nervous system, your blood type matters.

Here's how you can activate your vagus nerve based on your type:

Type A & AB: Sensitive System = Gentle Calm

Type A and AB individuals tend to have sensitive stress responses, often absorbing tension even when things seem calm.

Best Vagus Activators:

• Meditation with deep belly breaths

• Humming and chanting (stimulates the vagus via vocal cords)

• Slow-flow yoga or tai chi

• Sipping warm herbal teas like chamomile or green tea

AC Tip: Start your day with warm lemon water to nourish, detoxify, and calm you from the inside out.

Type O: Burn It Off, Then Breathe It In

Type O bodies thrive on movement to stay balanced. But post-movement recovery is where the vagus nerve magic happens.

Best Vagus Activators:

• Box breathing after a workout (inhale 4–hold 4–exhale 4–hold 4)

• Cold water facial splash or shower rinse (stimulates vagal tone)

• Mindful chewing during meals to slow digestion and calm the belly

AC Tip: After that HIIT or walk, pause and breathe. Your nervous system will thank you.

Type B: Rhythm Is Your Reset

Type B blood types flourish with balance—too much intensity overwhelms them, while routine and variety create calm.

Best Vagus Activators:

• Gentle stretching like morning mobility or yin yoga

• Singing or vocal toning (seriously—belt it out in the car!)

• Laughter and joyful connection (yes, joy is medicine too)

AC Tip: Turn on your favorite playlist and sing while meal prepping—feel-good vagus activation and food love in one.

Everyday Vagus Activation = Everyday Wellness

You don’t need a prescription. You just need a few daily rituals to say:

“Cortisol, you can calm down now.” “Rest and digest, take over.”

Easy, no-equipment-needed vagus nerve hacks:

• Breathe slowly and intentionally 3x a day

• Hum your favorite tune

• Chew meals slowly and mindfully

• Splash your face with cool water

• Stretch for 5–10 minutes in the morning

• Sip calming, herbal tea blends—ideally aligned to your type

Final Taste

Your body holds the power to heal, reset, and relax. You just need to listen—and stimulate the systems that already know what to do.

And it starts with your vagus nerve—that whisper of calm running from your brain to your belly.

Blood Type Wellness isn’t just about what you eat—it’s also about how you breathe, move, and reclaim peace.
