BRS6(PM5) - Sympathetic Activation & Parasympathetic Recovery
Regulation of sympathetic arousal and recovery into parasympathetic states after stress, exercise, or cognitive demand.
Biological Role
↑ autonomic flexibility; ↑ recovery capacity; ↓ persistent sympathetic tone
Dependencies (System Requirements)
KCs
Optional BRSX Modifiers
- None listed
Cofactors (Chemical Enablement)
- magnesium
- omega-3
- B vitamins
Inputs (Dietary and Environmental)
breathing practices → ↑ parasympathetic activation; recovery walks → autonomic downshift; magnesium-rich foods → neuromuscular support; caffeine late day → antagonistic sympathetic input
Outputs / Biological Effects
↑ autonomic flexibility; ↑ recovery capacity; ↓ persistent sympathetic tone
Functional Mechanism Ownership
- BRS6(FM3)
Intervention Dominance
- Lifestyle-Dominant
Constraints and Failure Modes
[INSERT_FROM_COLUMN_N_OR_SHEET_NOTES_IF_AVAILABLE]
Notes
- Evidence Type (Column H): Human + mechanistic
- Evidence/Notes (Column N): Lifestyle-dominant PM; diet supports recovery but does not replace breathing, sleep, and stress work.
