Description:
Let's begin the New Year by fueling our bodies right! Join us in this 2 week wellness challenge to drink more water and eat at least 5 servings of fruits/veggies per day. Dates: Friday January 10th - January 24th
We've all heard that we need to drink water, here are just a few ways this benefits us every day:
(1) Lubricates the joints: lack of appropriate water consumption can lead to joint pain.
(2) Forms saliva & mucus: water helps digest food, keeps eyes, nose and mouth moist & also can reduce tooth decay.
(3) Delivers oxygen throughout body: Blood is 90% water!
(4) Boost skin health & beauty: with lack of water our skin becomes more vulnerable to disorders & wrinkles.
(5) Regulates body temp
(6) Flushes waste
(7) Helps maintain blood pressure
(8) Prevents kidney damage
(9) Boost performance during exercise
(10) Helps with weight loss
As for fruits/veggies, we know they taste good, but adding these to our diet can be difficult at times. Fresh fruits/veggies require regular visits to the grocery store, cleaning/cutting/preparing more often and typically also cost more than prepacked/boxed foods. Here are just a few reasons that we should overcome these objections:
(1) They are a good source of vitamins & minerals. This is especially important for our immune systems during this time of year.
(2) They are high in dietary fiber which can help maintain a healthy gut and prevent digestive problems and reduce risk of some cancers.
(3) They are high in antioxidants which helps prevent skin from cellular damage from free radicals.
- The daily goal for each participant is to drink 64 oz. of water per day (equivalent to 4 average bottles of water a day). Simply log the amount of oz. of water you have drank per day. You cannot log more
than 64 oz. per day. You will receive 1 point per 8oz of water (or .125 points/oz)
- The daily goal for fruit/veggies each day is 5 servings. For example, if a participant eats a head of lettuce, this will only count as 1. However, if the participant eats 1/4 lettuce, 1/2 cucumber, 1/2 pepper, 1/4 broccoli and 2 carrots, this would be fiver
servings. The goal is to add more variety in our diets which will in turn provide varying vitamins/minerals for better health. You will receive 1 point/serving. You cannot log more than 10 servings/day.
Note: You can back log data up to 3 days. However, by January 24th at 11:59pm, all data must be entered.
The final day to enter contest is January 13th, 2020.
