Renew You Challenge

Let’s start this week off right!

Weekly challenge (I mean, opportunity!) to help set you off on the right foot and in the right direction for bringing health to your week. You could even add it to your calendar. Join us!

The digestive tract is about 30 feet long, and it takes anywhere from 24 to 72 (or more, yikes!) hours for food to travel all the way through. If you experience constipation, exercise can really help get things moving. I recommend aerobic exercise at least three times a week for 30 minutes. Find some aerobic activity you enjoy to help you stick to the routine, and try to change it up so you don’t get bored.

Stretching exercises are also helpful. This week, for stimulating digestion, try this yoga sequence I found on health.com. You could add this to the end of your routine to help get things moving.
