Experts reveal the everyday health must-dos that they do to keep their wellbeing humming – so we’re sure they’ll help you too

Mini Ways To Max Your Wellbeing!

1 STAY STRONG!

Top physio Sammy Margo is no slouch when it comes to walking the talk. “As a physio, I am aware of how important keeping a strong body is, but it’s difficult to squeeze in exercise to help keep on top of “sarcopenia”– the usual decline of muscle mass as we age,” says Sammy. “So aside from making sure I get in 10,000 steps a day, I wear leg weights for some of the time while I’m at work to get some lower limb training in, without having to go to the gym. It helps maintain muscle mass and prevent falls later on in life. I call this future-proofing.” 

• Sammy wears 5lb weights on each ankle, but suggests newbies start with 2.5lb weights for 10 mins per day while on your feet and gradually increase. Sammy practises in London: sammymargophysiotherapy.com

2 BULK UP!

Stress hits us all – even experts like trichology guru Anabel Kingsley get the downside of the problem. “After a really stressful period in my life, my hair was not in the best shape,” says Anabel. “The body classes hair as a non-essential tissue, sooften it needs help – especially when you’re rundown. I started taking our complex for hair and added 10,000mcg of Biotin (a great nutrient for hair and nails) every day.” 

• Anabel found that three months on… “They’ve done wonders for the thickness of my hair and strength of my nails. I also eat two eggs every morning without fail. They are the perfect protein – essential for great hair!” Philip Kingsley clinic and products: philipkingsley.co.uk
