| Affects of emotions on digestion |

Inactive ptyalin and non-secreting gastric juice may be manufactured when a patient is suffering from stress, anxiety, anger or other emotional upsets. Without these essential enzymes, our digestion begins to function inadequately and problems may develop.
Emotions also play a role with gastric acidity. The quality of HCl may fluctuate according to our emotional state, an infection may enter the body in case of improper secretion of gastric acid.
In reverse, constipation – caused by malfunctioning of the liver or lacking lactobacilli – affects our emotions. The condition may cause irritability, apathy, lethargy.
Our digestive process and emotional state are linked at several crossroads. Happiness is the best therapy for a healthy digestion!
