From nutrition gems to sports bras – here are my favourite health heroes of 2024
EVERY year I try out hundreds of health products, many of which I now couldn’t live without.
I’ve found magnesium supplements that help me sleep, probiotics that are great for gut health, the latest sports equipment and a whole host of healthy foods.
The list is almost endless. But this year, I’ve added a few extra gems to my routine. Here are my health heroes of 2024.
PHIZZ
ADD this tablet to water to create a drink containing 18 vitamins and minerals including energy boosting B12 and B6.
Plus there is a huge dose of immune-boosting vitamin C, as well as added electrolytes and a trace of sucralose for taste.
Thanks to that mix these are brilliant for rehydrating you and can do so three times faster than drinking water alone.
Plus they contain less than 10 calories per tablet.
Loved all the flavours, which include orange, apple and blackcurrant and mango.
RRP is £8 per 20-tablet tube.
On offer at Amazon from £4.80 – 24p a tablet.
SUPERCHARGE YOUR NUTRITION
I LOVE a multi-tasker. And this clever new milk is just like the regular stuff but has added benefits.
Supernutrio is made by passing two litres of cow’s milk through smart filters to double the protein and concentrate the calcium.
With regular semi-skimmed, you get 124mg of calcium per 100ml, 47kcal and 3.6 per cent protein.
But with this, you get a whopping 220mg of calcium, 64 calories and 7 per cent protein.
Calcium deficiency can increase the risk of bone fractures and osteopor-osis, which affects more than 3.5million people in the UK.
Supernutrio tastes slightly richer and creamier than normal cow’s milk.
There are no additives, preservatives or artificial colours.
£2.50 per litre, supernutrio.co.uk.
WOMEN CAN GET MORE SUPPORT
SUPPORT is vital when running if you don’t want to cause lasting damage to your boobs.
But not all sports bras are comfy to wear. I love this one.
The Runderwear Power Running Bra is a joy to wear.
No bouncing thanks to a high neckline, no rubbing under your arms, no digging-in underwire and a simple but effective design with a wide underband and moulded cups.
You can buy one in black or a lovely fiesta red, which I have, and hugely recommend, because it does the job and looks great.
Researchers say it reduces bounce by up to 72 per cent and after a trying it out, I was sold – and bought another. £49, runderwear.co.uk.
