The opposite of the fight-or-flight response is often referred to as the "rest and digest" response, governed by the parasympathetic nervous system. This state promotes relaxation, recovery, and conservation of energy, allowing the body to focus on maintenance functions such as digestion and immune response. While the fight-or-flight response prepares the body to confront danger or flee from threats, the rest-and-digest response encourages calmness and restoration.
