The "rest and digest" state, also known as the parasympathetic state, refers to the body's relaxed state when it focuses on digestion and restoration. This state is controlled by the parasympathetic nervous system and helps increase blood flow to digestive organs, slow the heart rate, and stimulate digestive enzyme production. It also promotes relaxation and reduces stress levels. This state can be triggered by activities such as deep breathing or meditation before and after eating.
