Nervous system

Degeneration and decrease in brain cells, size, and in neuro-transmitters causes slow reaction time, slow learning, decreased memory and dysfunction of cells. There is vulnerability to oxidative stress as there is concentration of high activity cells in small area that requires more energy and oxidation. Brain and nerve cells are non renewable and smallest damage to a vital area can be fatal.  

This manifests as memory loss, loss of concentration, decreased sex drive, weakness in muscles or tremors due to neuro-transmitters deficiency, transient ischemic attacks and cerebral strokes due to poor blood  circulation to the brain, insomnia, depression or confusion and clouding of mind, due to degenerative changes like parkinsonism, alzheimer's disease, senility, vertigo, auto immune diseases, multiple sclerosis, lupus erythromatosis, migraine and dyslexia.

It is speeded up by stress, malnutrition, deficient diet, and inactive life style, (making a person unable to look after his or her nutrition and activity), circulatory insufficiency by blockage of vessel or heat variation (excess heat dilates body vessels and excess cold constrict vessels, both diminish brain blood flow) and lowered immunity. Even the smallest of free radicals oxidative stress affects brain working which shows up as slow reaction, mild irritations on insignificant things, slight loss of balance, forgetting minor things, etc.

Insomnia
Sleep is an essential energiser. To induce sleep during stress, it is essential to:
