the 2018, fourth-quarter semifinalists for its Better Health
Challenge, and launched updates to the 2019 Better Health Challenge

a streamlined participant experience. The most recent semifinalists

respectively. Each will be awarded various prizes and have a chance
to win the $5,000 Grand Prize.
Noteworthy 2019 updates include a Team Division, an
easier-to-use website, new recipes, and simplified program

group, the Team Division will include a Captain and up to four
participants on each team. Individual and team semifinalists will

Diego. Even in the early days of the weight loss challenge,
the team option has been a great success, with participation
increasing 10 times compared to this same time last year.
Social media efforts have been enhanced with weekly Facebook
Live events featuring Health and Wellness Coach Sanjeev Javia, along with a host of guests who
have expertise in the areas of nutrition, exercise, mindset and the

this announcement, which coincides strategically with The Better
Health Challenge and the company's overall commitment to healthier
living and a better quality of life.

time, much like the participants themselves," says Youngevity
