What's the date of World Intestinal Day?

World Intestinal Health Day is May 29th, 25, which aims to remind people to pay attention to the warnings issued by their bodies and pay attention to their health.

On May 29th, 1958, Dr. HenryCohen, the founder of the World Intestinal Health Organization, proposed that May 29th would become the World Intestinal Health Day forever. With the accelerated pace of life, there are more and more people with sub-health in the intestines. According to the statistics of the World Health Organization, the threat of gastrointestinal diseases to human beings is shocking: the number of people who die of gastrointestinal diseases in the world is over 1 million every year, and one fifth of the population in China suffers from gastrointestinal diseases, ranking first in the world.

In a person's life, the intestine handles an average of 65 tons of food and drink, which is equivalent to the weight of 12 elephants. About 99% of the nutrients are absorbed by the intestine. More than 8% toxins in the human body are excreted from the intestine. In daily diet, most nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine, while food residues that are difficult to digest and absorb enter the large intestine, and eventually form feces that move down to the rectum for excretion.
