Pop: Vitamin D

This time of year your skin has less exposure to the sun to synthesize Vitamin D, so consider supplements as nutritional insurance to fill in the gap. Sure, you consume two milk products or juice three heads of broccoli per day (wink, wink), but not getting Vitamin D can lead to rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and cancer. Recent blood tests of healthy staff of Mt. Sinai Hospital in Toronto revealed that 90 percent had sub-optimal Vitamin D levels, which can contribute to thinning bones. Vitamin D also helps calcium get deep into your ivory sticks to reverse osteoporosis (it fills up holes in your bones). Newly reformulated Centrum Forte delivers 600 international units to help meet daily requirements and popping these makes you feel you're doing great things for your bod.

Use: Pro Stretch

Calf stretcher for hard to reach muscles

Few fitness aids really makes me say, "Wow, that feels so good". But this calf stretcher helps uncoils tight muscles after a strenous workout, so you stay flexible and injury free. And it's great for runners, cyclist, skiers, tennis players and volleyballers alike to relieve lower leg discomfort associated with plantar fascitis, tendonitis and ankle strain. Calf muscles are difficult to target, but place your foot into the device, rock your heel back to point toes skyward, then press toes forward and it's that full range of motion that makes all the difference! Three, 15 to 30-second stretches juices ankles joints and works wonders.
