World Digestive Health Day 2025

Today, we join the World Gastroenterology Organisation (WGO) and the global community in raising awareness for World Digestive Health Day (WDHD), a campaign dedicated to promoting prevention, early detection, and better care for digestive diseases and disorders. This year’s theme, “Your Digestive Health: Nourish to Flourish,” reminds us that digestive health is at the heart of overall well-being, influencing not just our physical vitality, but also our emotional and mental balance. By making conscious choices around nutrition, hydration, and mindful eating, we can actively support a healthy gut and reduce the risk of gastrointestinal disorders.

In research, projects like the ENDOTARGET EU Project are exploring the gut’s broader role in health, investigating how intestinal permeability, microbiota, and systemic inflammation impact chronic conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and spondyloarthritis. This underscores the profound connection between digestive health and immune-driven diseases.
