Tomorrow May 29th, it is World Digestive Healthy Day (More About WDHD HERE). A unique opportunity to remind us how important digestive health is and how relevant this topic is around the world - but listening to our gut and taking good care of it is not a once a year thing, it should be a daily habit.
In fact, 62% of the world population experiences digestive issues at least once per year.*
Everyday, our gut is geared up to prepare us and our body to the journey that lies ahead. It is a true power house which supports us both physically and emotionally. Our feelings, such as anger, joy, worry, fear or disgust can spread across our abdomen. Sometimes there are few unexpected and noticeable bumps on the road, constipation, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, heart burn…all connected to our gut health.
Each year the World Digestive Healthy Day marks the start of a yearlong campaign focused on raising awareness to a particular digestive issue, this year it is about Obesity.
The COVID-19 pandemic has made a huge impact on our lifestyle and health behaviors. The sedentary lifestyle with very little or no physical activity increases major risks of metabolic diseases and it’s also a main risk factor of liver disease like Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). The impact of obesity on the development of comorbidities has proven as devastating as any infectious pandemic.
At Sanofi Digestive Wellness, we want to help everyone out there who’s going through some digestive health issues (big or small) driving awareness, building up knowledge and assisting people around the world to better control and self-care when it comes to digestive health issues, even before it happens.
I invite you to join us on a mission on this World Digestive Health Day [May 29th], to self-discover the keys to better #digestivehealth. We firmly believe that through knowledge, prevention and empowerment, each of us can be confident to complete a quest, the pursuit of gut happiness.
Happy gut, Happy life!
