A fun and super easy health challenge for National Wellness Month: get on track before you’re back to class.
Summer is coming to an end, back to school is right around the corner and life is about to get BUSY, with a capital "B" prioritize your health for this month and join our challenge to rock the next few months with renewed energy!
Don’t worry, every day of this health challenge will have a simple action; we’re looking for small and incremental changes that help you reach your health goals - not deter you from them.
To prepare for a healthier you, we’re going to start cleaning out the house: meaning what you feed your body and your mind.
The easiest way to start a body and liver detox is to bring your body back to its ideal alkaline levels. Before breakfast, mix one freshly squeezed lemon into a cup of warm water and drink it up. This is part of our 14-day lemon water for weight loss protocol, feel free to check it out as a follow-up.
If you’re on the 11th floor, stop at the 10th floor and do one flight of stairs, but if you’re up for it - do the whole thing! If you don’t have stairs try to walk 150 steps more than usual today.
Putting your phone on airplane mode and keeping it away during your meals will allow you to focus more on your food, savor it, and detox from your device. This small change helps to slowly reset several of your hormones, including cortisol, melatonin, leptin, and ghrelin - the most important ones in the hormone weight loss connection.
Add more nutrients to your day and support liver detox. The USDA recommends five portions of fruits and vegetables per day, drinking vegetable-based juice helps you hit that mark with little effort.
For this health challenge: either make your own beginner friendly green juice, try our just-add-water Green Juice, or stop at your favorite juice spot.
There’s more to the world than lettuce, tomato, broccoli, and kale. Try a new healthy vegetable or legume today. Here are a few ideas:

Yes! A great way to relax and help your hardworking liver (which we never think of, unless there are symptoms of unhealthy liver function) by doing one of these three routines or poses at the end of your day.
