Top supplements to add to your New Year health kit!

As you step into the new year ahead, building a health kit that supports both your daily routine and your everyday wellbeing can help you feel more grounded, focused and ready for whatever comes next.

A new year brings a clean slate and a great opportunity to refresh your routine with habits that help you feel energised, balanced and resilient. Whether you’re focusing on support for energy production, a healthy stress response or aiding carbohydrate metabolism, the right supplements can help you start the year feeling your best. Pairing these with simple lifestyle habits can make an even bigger impact.

Let’s look at some essentials worth adding to your new year health kit to help you stay on track with your wellness goals.

  • Spend time outdoors: to lift your mood, regulate your circadian rhythm and help you feel more grounded.
  • Practice stress management techniques: such as deep breathing, meditation, journalling or gentle stretching to support emotional wellbeing.
  • Stay hydrated: drink at least 2 litres of water daily to support healthy digestion and nutrient absorption.
  • Build balanced meals: with a mix of protein, healthy fats, fibre and colourful vegetables to support healthy digestion and general health and wellbeing.
  • Choose nourishing snacks: such as nuts, fruit, yoghurt or hummus with veggies to keep your energy steady between meals and avoid afternoon slumps.
  • Eat mindfully: by taking your time, chewing thoroughly and tuning in to your natural hunger and fullness signals.
  • Incorporate regular movement: from walking to strength training or yoga, choose activities you enjoy to support healthy circulation and wellbeing.
  • Prioritise quality sleep: to help your body repair, restore and maintain healthy energy levels.

Supplements to consider for your New Year health kit:

If energy is a focus area for you, you can’t go past B vitamins. B vitamins are a group of nutrients that work synergistically in the body to support energy production, assist the metabolism of carbohydrates, maintain nervous system function and support a healthy stress response in the body. B vitamins are found in foods such as meat, fish, dairy and leafy vegetables, but are also available in supplemental form. The right form and dose depend on your individual needs.
