Being permanently in a sympathetic state (hyperactive SNS) means your body doesn't enter a parasympathetic where it repairs itself and results in some terrible health consequences, not to mention high cortisol and burnt out adrenal glands.
The cause
Eating an acid-forming diet (junk food/protein) will increase the acids in your blood. Because you will die if your blood isn't between 7.35-7.45 pH, you must start breathing more to reduce the amount of CO2 (it's acidic) in your lungs, and thus in your blood (The % of CO2 in your lungs is always much high than that in the air). Over-breathing puts you into a sympathetic state. The problem is that you get stuck over-breathing, sympathetic state because the urge to breath is triggered by your blood's CO2 level and your tolerance to CO2 decreases if you've been over breathing for some time.
You have to master Buteyko breathing, not fap till you're asexual, and eat fruitarian before you reach this zen state.
The quick way to tell, however, is to find out how much you are breathing (litres per minute), the less you breath, the more parasympathetic you are.
