Direct or Indirect 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 direct or indirect? These Human Design digestion types have everything to do with the level of light surrounding you while you are consuming.
