The research, commissioned by Yakult, revealed that 63% of Irish adults – that’s over 2.6 million people – say their digestion or gut health impacts how they feel day to day. Tiphaine Boulin says, ‘The fact that one in three Irish adults have avoided social situations because of digestive discomfort highlights the important role gut health can have on people’s daily lives. Other ways to encourage optimal gut health are prioritizing sleep, spending time outdoors and drinking less alcohol. With so many Irish adults living with digestion problems but relatively few taking a proactive approach, Yakult is encouraging people to make gut health part of their everyday routine.
