ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for the body’s rest and digestion response when the body is relaxed, resting, or feeding. It basically undoes the work of sympathetic division after a stressful situation. The parasympathetic nervous system decreases respiration and heart rate and increases digestion.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Parasympathetic Nervous System controls our “rest and digest” mode. In this state, energy is conserved, heart rate slows down, blood flows to the digestive tract and intestinal activity increases.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the stomach and intestines, parasympathetic stimulation of M receptors leads to increased motility and relaxation of sphincters. Stimulation of M receptors also increases gastric secretions to aid in digestion. In the gallbladder, parasympathetic stimulation of M3 receptors stimulates contraction to release bile.

Detailed explanation-4: -Yoga. Like meditation, yoga will help to activate your PSNS. It also cultivates your ability to decrease the fight or flight response when you are exposed to a stress trigger. Attending regular yoga classes or a dedicated self practice will improve your breathing, resilience, strength, flexibility and overall health.

Detailed explanation-5: -"And when blood volume goes down in the brain, we get woozy and tired.” According to Levitsky, eating triggers your parasympathetic nervous system, which conserves energy and slows down your heart rate in order to absorb nutrients.
