Eat REAL and YMCAs across California are joining forces to launch a #7DaySugarChallenge that runs from November 8 to November 14. The goal is to highlight the benefits of removing added sugars from the everyday diet.
“Kicking sugar is one of the most transformational changes we can make for our health and our future.” Dr. Robert Lustig, Eat REAL’s Chief Science Officer, stated.
Eat REAL and YMCAs strive to educate Californians on healthy habits to weave into their everyday lives to help create happy, healthy organs. This challenge inspires participants to understand how our food system needs to improve and to take control of their health.
“California YMCAs share a common goal with our partners at Eat REAL: supporting healthy lifestyles for all Californians,” Kris Lev-Twombly, California State Alliance of YMCAs Chief Executive Officer, said. “The 7 Day Sugar Challenge helps Californians experience how added sugars affect our physical and mental wellbeing. It gives us the opportunity to take control of our health together through delicious real food, healthy beverages, and the simple physical activities we enjoy.”
Hundreds of leaders across California, including celebrity Dr. Mark Hyman, are participating and choosing to focus on good mood foods.
