20 Items That Will Help Make This Month the Healthiest Yet

"One of the biggest challenges I've had since I started weightlifting is getting enough calories to sustain my workouts — there's only so much eating one person can manage. Enter Designer Whey Protein Meal ($24). Besides 25 grams of protein, a serving contains complex carbs, healthy fats, and vitamins and minerals. It's an an easy way to up my caloric intake each day without having to sit down for an additional meal." — MF

"If you're looking for a duffle with all the functionality of a gym bag, but one that doesn't look like a gym bag, then look no further. The Birdie Gym Bag ($198) from Jemma has a sleek and sophisticated aesthetic and lovely design, but it features a shoe compartment, a sweaty clothes compartments, a laundry bag, and even a little cosmetics bag for your freshening items. It's as thoughtful as it is chic and makes an excellent companion for a working girl who loves her workout routine as much as she loves dressing up for work. Bonus: it goes from gym time to happy hour flawlessly." — DA

"I use BPA-free plastic water bottles, but definitely prefer glass, and I love this Contigo Autospout Ashland Bottle ($20). It holds 20 ounces, and I love that I can sip with one hand by the push of my thumb. Once the spout is closed, it's protected from dirt and germs, plus it can be locked to prevent leaks. I also love the nifty clip-on handle feature, and even though it's made of glass, it's pretty lightweight." — JS

"Lucky me, I've developed intense motion sickness as an adult. As someone who spends a ton of time backpacking in the mountains, this is a huge bummer, because there is no way you're getting to a mountain range without a slow and windy drive. These drives always left me feeling sick and nauseous, until I discovered ReliefBand ($95, originally $115). Worn on the wrist, the band uses technology called neuromodulation to treat motion sickness. It sends gentle pulses (sort of like a mild shock) to a pressure point on the wrist, which signals the brain to essentially turn off feelings of nausea.

I can wholeheartedly say that it works. I've worn this thing on hellish drives up mountains and also during a rocky boat trip while I was in Maui; as soon as the feelings of nausea started to come, I turned on the band and within minutes felt normal. The Reliefband is FDA-cleared for motion sickness, morning sickness, and VR gaming as a drug-free alternative for finding relief." — MF

"Sweat makes things stink. No matter how much you clean your boxing gloves or wash your gym sneakers or tidy up your gym bag, it somehow always clings to that musky, nasty smell that reeks of all your hard work (read: projectile sweating). This all-natural Ever Bamboo Sports Kit ($15) somehow magically absorbs and destroys said scent, leaving your gym paraphernalia (boxing gloves included . . . and you KNOW those are the worst) feeling fresh AF. These are actually so crucial to anyone who works out and owns shoes/a gym bag." — DA

"If you love the idea of green juices but wish they also included the vegetables' fiber, Zupa Noma ($7) is the drink for you. It might seem slightly odd in concept — it's cold soup, meant to be consumed straight out of the bottle — but in practice, it's a refreshing way to some extra vegetables in your diet without the accompanying sugar crash. Tomatillo Kale Jalapeño and Avocado Cucumber are my favorites, but they're all good." — NP

"For something that scratches the same itch as hummus and pretzel cups, but with an Asian flavor profile, try Yumami Go-Dip Adzuki Bean ($5). Intensely flavored with yuzu and ginger, the dip begs to be dug into with the puffy nori crackers." — NP
