Ahh, coffee. Just when you thought your favourite drink couldn’t get any better, the experts show us how it can
Our love of coffee runs deep: 75 per cent of us have a cup every day, reports market researcher McCrindle, while 27 per cent reckon they can’t get through the day without it. So, rather than cutting back on the brew, we’re on the hunt for ways to optimise it. Skip sugar and add one of these good-for-you splashes...
Coconut water
If you’re a pre-gym sipper, this combo is for you. Add half a cup of coconut water to your iced coffee for a sweet brew that fuels your sesh. Coconut water replenishes the electrolytes you’ll lose via sweat, says dietitian Wendy Leonard.
Collagen powder
The protein-based supplement is made from amino acids that mimic the ones found in your hair, skin and joints, says dietitian Rachael DeVaux. Ingesting it may help replenish your body’s collagen supply. Dissolve a tablespoon of it in your coffee. Then simply enjoy!

So to help you navigate these heavily filtered waters, here are the new health virtues that shouldn’t be – and a few simple tactics you can use to actually improve your life.
