Healthy Magazine Jan / Feb 2022 Retour à l'édition précédente

This new year, we're not suggesting you embark on a full-on fitness regime, or the latest trendy weight-loss diet. Of course, if the time feels right for you to train for a marathon this year, or you’re determined to fit back into that favourite old dress, then that’s great – go for it (and you’ll find plenty of expert content to help you reach those goals on our website, healthy-magazine.co.uk). But with everything that’s (still) going on, and the stress that accompanies all the continued uncertainty, this issue we’re hunkering down a little and giving our mental wellbeing the attention it deserves. Our new year feature, from page 18, is all about finding out what’s right for you in 2022, and how to make it happen – along with giving yourself a large dose of kindness. I hope it resonates with you as it did with the healthy team.
Elsewhere, we’re also taking a good look at
our gut health. While we’re understanding more and more about the importance of the gut, and how it’s linked to so much else, from skin to sleep, there’s also still no shortage of embarrassment and confusion when it comes to addressing our own gut issues. Our tailored solutions, from page 32, aim to clear this up with some simple, practical and personal advice. We’ve also got some delicious recipes from Dr Megan Rossi, aka the Gut Health Doctor, from page 80, which focus on the delicious ingredients you can add in for a happy gut.
Of course, we also have everything else you expect from us – the latest in natural beauty, from page 93; fitness workouts with specific benefits for mind as well as body, page 58; health advice on how to stay injury free in mid-life, page 122; plus loads of inspiration if you’re doing Veganuary this year. It’s jam-packed issue and I hope it helps you to get your 2022 off to a healthy start.
