"Digestion is quickly shut down during stress…The parasympathetic……" — Robert M. Sapolsky

"Digestion is quickly shut down during stress…The parasympathetic nervous system, perfect for all that calm, vegetative physiology, normally mediates the actions of digestion. Along comes stress: turn off parasympathetic, turn on the sympathetic, and forget about digestion."
