Mini Challenges
A plank a day can help keep the doctor away! Never heard of one? Learn about plank exercising this summer while building strength in your core, upper and lower body. You don’t need any equipment to plank—all you need is a bit of space.
Challenge yourself this summer to know how much sugar you are actually eating. It’s hidden in all kinds of unexpected places—even “healthy” foods can be full of sugar—so you might be surprised. Sugar has been called the single worst ingredient in the modern diet, leading to weight gain, elevated blood sugar and high blood pressure.
Over 40% of our happiness can be affected by our daily activities and the choices we make. Take some time each day during the Challenge to increase your own happiness!
Too much salt, also known as sodium, can increase your risk for heart disease. So don’t let sodium sneak up in your daily diet. On average, American adults eat more than double the recommended amount of sodium daily. Challenge yourself to learn the right amount for your diet and ways to decrease your intake.
A healthy lifestyle can help prevent the onset or worsening of mental health conditions. Eating healthy foods, exercising, getting enough sleep and managing stress go a long way in making you mentally strong. Learn more on each of these areas and how you can improve them to increase your mental strength.
