Most people experience digestive health problems at one time or another, and usually consider their symptoms merely an inconvenience. However, your digestive system is extremely important as it functions to support the rest of the body and deliver nutrients throughout the body. When the digestive system malfunctions the entire body is at risk. Poor food choices can lead to disruptive everyday symptoms like gas and abdominal pain, as well as a number of health problems.
The Digestive Health Organization (DHO) was created by the California Dried Plum Board to raise awareness of the importance of good digestive health among healthcare professionals, researchers and the general public. The DHO is dedicated to creating a forum where individuals can share their knowledge and insights into good digestive health.
