What Does August Have In Store
No Dog Days of Summer Here
August tends to be the month where things slow down; kids are prepping to go back to school, vacation travels are winding down, and it really is just too hot to go outside and do anything. We took that as a challenge. The Will Rodgers Liver Health Foundation will participate in the highest number of events this month than we ever have been before.
The Low Down
No matter what state you live in, or what events you enjoy, we've got a mix for everyone:
August 7th & 8th we will be in the Fan Zone at Watkin Glen Speedway prior to the Xfinity and NASCAR Cup series races
Will will be racing in the truck race

Keeping up with Wellness Wednesday
Did you know we post Wellness Wednesday videos every Wednesday on our social pages? With our mission to help everyone live a liver healthy lifestyle, we want to help supply you with the information on how to do that. So far we’ve talked about:
Drinking coffee actually helps your liver! The caffeine from the coffee bean can help lower your risk from developing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Citrus fruits like oranges and lemons help create enzymes that promote liver detoxification.
Taking one milk thistle pill a day can keep toxins out of your liver and minimize liver inflammation.
Exercising 150 minutes a week helps prevent obesity which is a major cause of liver disease.
Getting Hep C tested. We do Hep C testing at all the events we attend and are there to help you no matter what your results are. We suggest getting Hep C tested at least once a year.
