How sluggish and poor digestion can affect our overall health

Our overall health depends on healthy digestion, poor digestion and sluggish bowel can lead to a whole host of symptoms due to negative side effects messing up our mind and body.

Good or bad indigestion can affect your energy levels and how productive you are can affect your mood, how you interact with otheres, about work, school, college, home, social life and how you feel at the end of every day, physically and mentally.

Usually poor digestion can lead to tiredness, heavy and bloated feeling, constipation or diarrhoea, gas or trapped wind which can be embarrassing and can affect your concentration, performance and enjoyment of life. If left untreated it can lead to stomach pains, sometimes you are afraid to eat and other times you might feel ravenous and feel like eating everything around you, later you might feel so sluggish that you feel like doing nothing or you feel like lying down or going to bed.

These bouts of discomfort and unease can lead to overall poor health and even malnutrition.
