Rest and Digest Response

The "Rest and Digest" response is part of your body's involuntary nervous system that activates when you’re relaxed or not under stress. It helps your body focus on recovery and maintenance by slowing your heart rate, stimulating digestion, and conserving energy. Essentially, it promotes relaxation, allowing your body to process food, repair tissues, and recharge. This response balances the "Fight or Flight" stress reaction, ensuring your body functions smoothly during calm periods. It is controlled by the parasympathetic nervous system, supporting overall health and well-being.
