A. Relaxing under a tree.

The parasympathetic nervous system is known as the “rest and digest” system. Activities that require as little movement as possible help the heart rate to slow down. The other activities would be associated with the Sympathetic nervous system which is known as the “fight or flight,” or when your heart rate is up and running.
