Consecutive or Alternating Digestion in Human Design
In Human Design, there are twelve different types of digestion. Your Human Design digestion type will tell you how you're designed to consume. The types of food that are best for you and the setting in which you eat. You can locate your digestion in the chart properties under the section that says ‘Digestion’.
Is your Human Design digestion type consecutive or alternating appetite? You are designed to eat only the highest quality ingredients your digestive system remembers and seeks out only the freshest and finest whole foods. With such a refined palate, you may be tempted to seek out opulent and indulgent foods. But truly living according to your design means that you should be consuming just one ingredient at a time. So try to avoid food that consists of a mix of various ingredients.
Consecutive Appetite
With consecutive appetite in Human Design, finish one full ingredient before moving on to the next. For example, if you were having a steak dinner, you would finish the entire steak before moving on to the veggies.

Alternating Appetite
With alternating appetite in Human Design, you are designed to move between single ingredients. A great example of this would be something like a charcuterie board. This gives you the option to alter between many different single ingredient foods.
