14.2 million people in the UK feel less healthy than before the Covid pandemic (2021). As a result, more people are adopting new fitness regimes, hobbies or healthy eating practices. But with so many trendy new health hacks, knowing where to start and sticking with them can be challenging.
If you’re looking for new ways to practice mindfulness or stay informed on nutrition and fitness but don’t want to pay for an expensive membership, a dietician or a spa break, social media provides access to thousands of experts for free. I’ve rounded up some of the best wellness and lifestyle bloggers we’re following right now…
