When you are injured the body makes dealing with the injury high priority, using it’s resources to take care of the injury, this means it must deprioritize other processes in the body, like digestion. The process of digestion actually takes a lot energy, vitamins and minerals to complete, so the body will often get rid of the food in your stomach so it no longer has to put resources towards digesting it and can now focus on the current injury.
