Why is the state of digestion so important?

Digestion of food and digestion of life are interconnected. When someone is not digesting food properly it can affect every aspect of their life, and when someone is not digesting life, it can create difficulty with digesting food. Some examples include if someone has a heated state of digestion it can cause them to be hot tempered, judgmental, overstressed, and make emotional choices. In life, if someone is having difficulty digesting loss of a loved one, job, or chapter in their life they can experience slow sluggish digestion leading to a buildup of toxins which can circle back to more difficulty digesting the loss.  There are multiple states of digestion, just like there are multiple states of life, both are everchanging.
