After eating a large amount of food from “all-you-can-eat” buffet, a person reclines on the couch in order to watch television. The body is in resting state after eating quite a lot of food. The food needs to be digested in order to avoid indigestion and the formation of gas. Parasympathetic responses support body functions that conserve and restore body energy during times of rest and recovery.
