Health On (Digestive) Track 2025

Did you know that your gut health plays a major role in your overall well-being? That’s exactly what we set out to highlight at Health On (Digestive) Track 2025, where over 300 participants joined us for a half-day of interactive learning, expert insights, and fun-filled activities—all designed to get people thinking (and moving!) for better digestive health.

​

From engaging health talks to hands-on activities, the event was packed with energy, enthusiasm, and plenty of take-home tips to help everyone nurture a healthier gut.

Starting the Day with Movement

Kicking off at 8:30 AM, the event began with a mass chair yoga session, where 130 pre-registered participants stretched, breathed, and flowed through a relaxing yet energising routine led by professional instructors. Held at the Auditorium Foyer and Learning Centre, this session wasn’t just about movement—it was about building habits that support a happy and healthy digestive system!
