SAN DIEGO, CA and NEW YORK, NY, Jan. 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Youngevity® International, Inc. (NASDAQ: YGYI), a leading omni-direct lifestyle company, had the distinct honor of ringing in the new year at yesterday’s Stock Market Opening Bell Ceremony in celebration of “Fit Week” at the Nasdaq MarketSite in Times Square. Esteemed company distributors and guests gathered alongside Youngevity’s executive leadership team and Celebrity Brand Ambassadors Marilu Henner and Drew Pearson.
“It was truly an honor to be asked to celebrate with Nasdaq in recognition of Fit Week – a time when people around the world are making a commitment to begin their journey to betterment,” said Youngevity President and CFO Dave Briskie. “Our mission at Youngevity is to help consumers understand the key components needed to reach and maintain optimal wellness and to provide tools and product resources that aid significantly in the process.”
On Tuesday, Actress and Health Advocate Marilu Henner appeared on the Fox News program “Fox & Friends” to discuss her five-year relationship with Youngevity and helpful tips for keeping New Year’s resolutions.
In conjunction with Fit Week 2018, Youngevity is launching The Better Health Now Campaign to encourage a refreshed focus on personal development and achieving optimal wellness – mind, body and spirit – amongst its membership base around the world.
The campaign has two major components: one focuses on improving general health through the company’s Healthy Body Start Paks, and the other focuses on a weight-loss challenge (“Better Health Challenge”). All efforts are aimed at providing comprehensive nutritional support to help participants get the 90 essential nutrients that Youngevity believes are core to vibrant health.
And because the seasoned professionals at Youngevity understand that not all routines fit all lifestyles, the Better Health Challenge offers three different programs to choose from: Keto 90, Rev 90, and Wellness 90. Each program recommends a Healthy Body Start Pak for the 90 essential nutrients, and each comes with a kit that includes delicious protein shakes, supplements, and other products that help fuel nutrition and support muscle. The programs also include seven-day meal plans and a myriad of food recipes to help participants stay on track and meet their goals.
In addition, the Better Health Challenge provides a full online support system, including ongoing guidance from Youngevity’s expert health and wellness coach, along with a full host of motivational tools, videos and more to accommodate each participant’s chosen program.
Youngevity will be featured on Nasdaq’s social media properties, including Facebook and Twitter throughout the week with insights and tips on how to take a holistic approach to health and wellness in 2018.
