Good or bad digestion can affect your energy levels and how productive you are. It can affect your mood and that means how you interact with other fellow beings at work, school, college or at home. it can affect you physically as well as mentally and how you feel at the end of each day.

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 and later you might feel so sluggish and slow that you either feel like doing nothing or just go to bed.
