3 WAYS TO BOOST YOUR HEALTH THIS WEEK

The scientists have spoken! Try these easy ways to achieve a happier, healthier life

Increase walking pace

Walking with your partner, especially if you hold hands, might be slowing you down.* Walking at a slower pace can counteract the benefits of walking, such as stronger bones and reduced risk of heart disease. You don’t need to walk alone, just speed up or tell them to!

Plant-powered chocolate

If you’re craving something sweet but cutting back on animal products, try the vegan-friendly H!P Oat Milk Chocolate Bar. Not only does it contain 35% less sugar than your average dairy milk chocolate bar, it’s also made with 100% plastic-free packaging (£3 per 70g bar, hipchocolate.com).

Replace your razor

Your razor could be holding up to five million bacteria, including staphylococcus and streptococcus.** These can cause infections such as warts, even if you don’t cut yourself. ‘If you shave every day, replace your razor every one to two weeks. Shave every other day? Replace your blade every two to three weeks,’ says cleaning expert Henry Paterson.***
