The vagus nerve is your longest cranial nerve, connecting your brain to several of your internal organs, including your heart, lungs and digestive system. The word vagus is Latin for wandering. It was given this name because it looks like it's wandering throughout the body, since it is so thoroughly spread out.
Your vagus nerve is responsible for signaling the brain to activate your relaxation response by releasing calming neurotransmitters like serotonin. Vagnus nerve stimulation (VNS) works by delivering electrical impulses to the nerve. Thanks to the Pulsetto's technology, the stimulation process no longer requires needles or surgery, but is non-invasive, wearable technology. Stimulating the vagus nerve helps to aid in relaxation, which means it is helping to inhibit the stress response in your body, lowering blood pressure and reducing inflammation.
A majority of Pulsetto customers feel the difference in a matter of days or week, depending on their health factors.

Golfer Ben Griffin says he 'overdosed' on creatine at BMW Championship
Golfer Ben Griffin had considerable troubles during the final round at the BMW Championship, carding a 6-over in his first three holes of the day. Griffin triple bogeyed the first hole at the FedExCup Playoff tournament at Caves Valley Golf Club outside of Baltimore, and after his round, he gave a strange reason for his bad start. Griffin says he had a snowball-sized clump of creatine on the golf course, after which he started to shake and said he felt like he had tremors. "I take creatine as a supplement, and this morning I didn't take it until I basically teed off on one. I was at the end of my batch, and I had this like, basically a snowball of creatine. So it had been in my bucket for a month, and broke it up and put it in my water bottle. Whatever, I'm all good. I've taken it on the golf course before. It's fine," Griffin said. "I started taking it after my second shot and I accidentally swallowed one of the big rocks that was in my water bottle. I've never overdosed on creatine before, but I think I did in the moment because I didn't really drink any water after that. I basically just inhaled like a snowball." 82286157007 Griffin finished tied for 12th with a 3-under par for the tournament, which was won by the world's No. 1 player, Scottie Scheffler. Griffin's score was good enough to be one of the top 30 players at the season-ending TOUR Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.

'Forever chemicals' found in Indiana water, EPA data shows. Two Indiana cities over the EPA limit.
If you drink tap water out of a filtered pitcher, it is important to make sure you're using the right type of filter depending on your local contaminants, which in some cases, might be more serious than others. USA TODAY published a map of public drinking water systems that recently submitted test results for "forever chemicals" to the Environmental Protection Agency. South Bend was one of two Indiana towns found to have chemicals over the federally dictated levels. Here's what we know. What are 'forever chemicals'? PFAS, also known as "forever chemicals," are defined by the EPA as long-lasting chemicals with components that break down very slowly over time. Because of the widespread use of these chemicals, they are found in water, air, soil, fish and even human blood in varying levels. Scientific studies have shown that exposure to some of these chemicals may be linked to harmful health effects in humans and animals. As a result, the EPA established legally enforceable levels in 2024 for six PFAS in public drinking water. Public water systems must monitor for these chemicals and take action to reduce the levels of these chemicals if they violate the EPA's standards. They must also provide notification to the public of the violation. Can PFAS be filtered out of water? Not all filters reduce PFAS in water, so you should look for a filter that is specifically certified to do so, according to the EPA. The agency recommends using the following types of water filters: Charcoal (Granular Activated Carbon or GAC): These filters use carbon to trap chemicals as water passes through them. Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems: Reverse osmosis is a process that forces water through an extremely thin barrier that separates chemicals from the water. Ion Exchange Resins: Resins are tiny beads that act like powerful magnets that attract and hold the contaminated materials from passing through the water system. PFAS detected in Indiana While PFAS have been detected in Indiana, they have mostly been detected at lower levels. The following two public water systems in were found to have "forever chemical" levels over the EPA limit: South Bend: 1.3x the limit Morgantown: 1.6x the limit Are 'forever chemicals' in your water?

A disease is causing rabbits to look like zombies. Is it contagious?
Rabbits with growths that resemble horns or tentacles have been spotted around Colorado, but wildlife officials say humans and their furry friends have little cause for concern. The animals' grotesque appearance has drawn comparisons to zombies and Frankenstein's monster. But the growths are caused by a virus specific to bunnies called cottontail rabbit papillomavirus, Colorado Parks and Wildlife spokesperson Kara Van Hoose previously told USA TODAY. Still, Van Hoose has warned that, "As with any wildlife, pets should not interact or come in contact with the rabbits." Is the virus dangerous to pets? Here's what to know about rabbit papillomavirus: What is rabbit papillomavirus? Cottontail rabbit papillomavirus, also called Shope papilloma virus, is a disease that can be transmitted to rabbits by biting insects, according to the University of Missouri's College of Veterinary Medicine. The disease is often found in cottontail rabbits in the Midwest with outbreaks in domestic rabbits. The virus causes growths on the skin, known as rabbit papillomas, Colorado Parks and Wildlife said. The black nodules, usually on the head, can sometimes grow and take on "a horn‐like appearance." Is rabbit papillomavirus dangerous? The growths have no significant impact on rabbits unless they interfere with their ability to eat or drink, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Most infected animals can survive the viral infection and the growths will disappear. But if the lesions don't get better, the animals can develop squamous cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer, the University of Missouri's College of Veterinary Medicine said. Can pets catch rabbit papillomavirus? Papillomaviruses can infect a wide range of species including fish, reptiles, birds and humans, but the vast majority are specific to certain species, according to a 2024 article in the National Library of Medicine. The cottontail rabbit papillomavirus is specific to rabbits and cannot infect other species, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife. But the virus can be transmitted to domestic rabbits, especially those housed outdoors where they may come into contact with wild rabbits or biting insects. "In domestic rabbits, the disease is more severe than in wild rabbits and should be treated by a veterinarian," the agency said.
