Your nervous system is vital for your body—whether in fight or flight mode during an emergency, allowing your body to relax on vacation, or operating your body’s daily functions. But a dysregulated nervous system can leave you feeling stressed, anxious, and fatigued. Read on to understand how to recognize the signs of a dysregulated nervous system and how to naturally restore regulation. What Is the Nervous System and What Does It Do? The nervous system is your body’s communication network made up of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves carrying messages from the brain throughout your body. Messages sent through the nervous system regulate virtually everything we do, including movement, thoughts, feelings, and our response to stressful situations—and things we do without even thinking about it, like breathing, digesting food, healing wounds, and keeping our hearts beating.

Introduction
This is a very popular drink/soup in Egypt.You can have it as soup but it's really drunken with a straw and/or spoon from a cup :).
Number of Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 500 grams of chickpeas (garbanzo beans) (or canned, but fresh tastes better)
Garlic, 5 cloves
1 medium onion
Lemon Juice, 50 mL
3 medium tomatoes
Tomato Paste, 0.2 cup
Lemon juice, 100 mL
1-2 tbsp cummin (key ingredient!)
Salt, 2 tsp
Directions
Soak half a kilo (500 grams) of chickpeas overnight in water (three inches above).Drain the water when it's done soaking and put it in a decent sized pan. Then add about 1 litre and a half or water or so that it's 3-4 inches above chickpeas.
Bring the beans to a boil and leave it like that for about 30 minutes, then add more water if its not all the way done then cover it and let it simmer on low heat. It's done when there's no or little white color in the middle of the chickpea (take one out and slice it in half).
When the chickpeas are done or even half done, add the diced tomatoes, paste, minced garlic, chopped onion, salt, cumin and lemon juice.
Serve in a cup with one part chickpeas and 2 parts soup.
Add some red hot pepper (dried) if you want a little spice in your hummus drink :). Enjoy!
This amount should last you a couple of days (depending on how many people are drinking this!). It tastes even better the next day when warmed up (best when hot).
