if you eat dinner each day at six o’clock, by five forty-five you’re already secreting insulin in anticipation of the rising Glucose levels in your bloodstream. Logically, it is the Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS) that stimulates the anticipatory secretion, and this ability to secrete insulin in preparation for the glucose levels that are about to rise is a great example of the anticipatory quality of allostatic balance.
