Exploring the Significance of Interoception in Human Health
Interoception is a crucial human sense that involves the nervous system sensing and interpreting internal body information. Psychiatrist and neuroscientist Saib Kalsa studies interoception's role in human health, emphasizing how individuals can tune into bodily sensations like hunger, breathing rate, or discomfort. The concept highlights how people often aren't aware of internal bodily processes until a significant change occurs. By recognizing physical cues such as sweaty palms or hunger-related grouchiness, individuals can proactively address their bodily needs and emotional responses.
