Go With Your Gut Day, observed on September 23, encourages everyone to be mindful and take care of their gut health. The gut is the general name for parts of the human body including the abdomen and surrounding organs. The abdomen is the part of the body between the thorax and pelvis, in humans and other vertebrates. The abdomen is the front part of the abdominal segment of the torso. The area occupied by the abdomen is called the abdominal cavity. In arthropods, it is the posterior tagma of the body; it follows the thorax or cephalothorax.
Za’atar Day
Za’atar Day, on September 23, is observed as a cultural holiday that celebrates the Za’atar herb which is a staple in most traditional dishes in North Africa and the Middle East. Za’atar is used as a seasoning for meats and vegetables or it can be sprinkled as a seasoning on hummus. Za’atar is also eaten with labneh, a tangy, creamy cheese made out of yogurt, bread, and olive oil for breakfast. Za’atar features most commonly in Jordan, Palestine, Israel, Syria, and Lebanon, as well as other places in the Arab world. The Lebanese specialty “shanklish,” which is dry-cured balls of labneh, can be rolled in za’atar to form its outer coating.
