I am half way through the health challenge sponsored by Dr. Jay Davidson of Max Health Chiropractic.
If you want to go through the challenge yourself you can do so by signing up through their web site.
http://www.maxhealthchiro.com/
You will get a challenge each day for 14 days. I think it is a bit much to do a challenge every day so I've been doing one a week and summarizing it here.
Part 7 was a review of some of the action steps discussed so far in the challenge:
- Drink lemon weater ( 1 liter of water with juice of 1/2 lemon)
- Oil pulling- look it up on Web MD. This should be done after the lemon water. I have not tried this yet, maybe some day.
- Find a health provider you trust to provide coaching on your health, nutrition, exercise and supplementation.
- Attend seminars about health, medical issues, exercise and nutrition. Seminars can deliver a lot of information in a short amount of time.
- Review the goals set in part one for your health for the next 3 weeks, 3 months and 3 years.
- Review your "Big Why" This why is the reason you set health goals and work to maintain your health. When things get tough remember why you are doing all this.
- Watch your sugar intake and begin to reduce it.
- Replace the sugar and grain in your diet with healthier options.
It make take getting out of your comfort zone to make some of these happen, but that is where real change takes place.
