RED’S HEALTH AND WELLBEING EDITOR ARIELLE TCHIPROUT SHARES HER LATEST DISCOVERIES
DOCTOR’S ORDERS
I’m a huge fan of Dr Chatterjee’s holistic approach to health; his new book, Happy Mind, Happy Life, is about how to build ‘core happiness’ every day. When we’re happier, he says, we make healthier choices. I’m already implementing his simple, science-backed tips, such as reducing the amount of choices I give myself for lunch, and turning the person who has annoyed me into a ‘hero’, and noticing the difference. Happy Mind, Happy Life: 10 Simple Ways To Feel Great Every Day (Penguin Life) is out 31st March
THE GUT STUFF
Unsure which supplements to prioritise? I recommend starting with a probiotic – you’ll encourage a healthy gut microbiome, which can positively affect everything from immunity to digestion to skin. However, not all probiotics are created equal: Symprove’s unique water-based formula helps the active good bacteria to reach your gut in good shape, allowing it to thrive and multiply.

These two oils have been helping me sleep…
