Gut Week 2009

Added:August 24, 2009

This week sees the start of the 11th annual gut week. Organised by the Gut Week partners - digestive health charities Core, The Gut Trust, St Mark's Hospital Foundation, and in association with Yakult – www.loveyourgut.com offers practical advice and information on how to maintain gut health and ensure a regular bowel habit.

Although the campaign is known as 'gut week' Yakult makes available information and advice on good digestive health all year round to help educate consumers on just how important the digestive function is and why we all need to love our gut. The Yakult team will be starting a week long journey around the country to deliver key messages on the importance of maintaining good gut health. What most people don't realise is that the majority of the immune system is actually located in the gut, so by looking after your gut you naturally help keep the rest of you healthy too.

Drinking one bottle of Yakult regularly, helps support your good bacteria. These good bacteria help keep your gut healthy and in turn help support your natural defences.
