Equip the community with practical guidance on red-flag symptoms and manging chronic illnesses (like diabetes or HIV) that warrant attention from a primary care provider, gastroenterologist, or dietician. - Highlight the Role of Nutrition in Gut Health
Explain how diet, hydration, fiber, probiotics, and eating patterns influence digestion, gut bacteria, and long-term gastrointestinal health. - Promote Preventive Strategies and Everyday Habits
Offer evidence-based lifestyle and dietary habits that support a healthy digestive system and prevent common GI issues.
