Love Your Gut: Celebrating World Digestive Health Day (29 - May)

One of the most important days of the year is World digestive day which is celebrated on 29th May every year! 

In this blog, we will discuss about how you can proactively support your digestive wellness by living a healthy lifestyle and prioritizing self-care. 

Healthy gut, healthy mind! 

Good digestive health helps the body to break down food and absorb nutrients properly. Healthy digestion keeps you away from so many digestive diseases such as constipation, heart burn, bloating, indigestion, and more related diseases.  

The best way we can maintain healthy gut function is to have a diet rich in vegetables, legumes, beans, and fruits. Also drink plenty of water throughout the day is equally important.  

History of World Digestive Day: 

  • The World Gastroenterology Organization (WGO) founded World Digestive Health Day in 2004. 
  • The first WDHD was celebrated on 29 may 2005. 
  • Each year this day celebrated with a different theme related to digestive health. 
  • The aim is to raise awareness and promote education about digestive diseases and their prevention and management. 

Factors affecting: 

There is a strong need to take care of your digestive health, which is possibly by making few changes to your lifestyle- 

Balanced diet- Have a well-balanced diet, eat on time and avoid late night meals.  



Hydration- It is very important to have enough water and keep yourself hydrated.  


Regular exercise- Exercise helps the food move down your digestive system. Going for a walk after a meal may be a good idea to give the digestive system a push.  


Probiotics and prebiotics- The addition of Probiotics uses with a well-balanced diet will ensure that the digestive system is active and healthy for better absorption of nutrients and elimination of toxins and harmful substances from the body. This can reverse the damage caused to your friendly bacteria and add more to maintain a balanced level. Yogurt and buttermilk is widely used popular probiotics. 


Healthy fats- A healthy digestion requires good fats that not only help you feel satisfied after a meal but are also needed for a proper absorption of nutrients. 


Attentive towards health- Take time to learn about digestive health, common digestive disorders and their causes and symptoms.  

Avoid stress- Stress can have a negative impact on digestive health. Practice stress reducing activities like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercise.  


Benefits of Good Digestive Health- 

  • Digest food and absorb nutrients 
  • Remove waste from the body 
  • Fight off infection 
  • Promotes hormones that regulate digestion, mood and sleep 
  • Maintain a healthy weight 
  • Reduce the risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and some types of cancers.
