29 May 2023 --- This year’s World Digestive Health Day focuses on how gut health develops inside the womb and the changing dietary needs of the gastrointestinal tract from birth through to infancy, childhood and adulthood. The World Gastroenterology Organisation has chosen ‘A Healthy Gut from the Start’ as its focus for this year’s campaign. “Nutrition in early life is crucial for the development of the infant and child and is recognized to have repercussions across the lifespan of the individual,” Anke Sentko, VP of regulatory affairs and nutrition communication at Beneo, tells NutritionInsight.
