With the fast-paced lifestyle that we live, rushing from one chore to another, maintaining health is quite a task. Some days you’re skipping breakfast to catch the bus to the office, and on others, celebrating a small win by ordering in junk food. Add to it growing responsibilities, and taking care of yourself only becomes harder. And while we can’t fix the systems, small, thoughtful changes go a long way in making things better. 
Swapping white sugar with honey for a healthier gut, incorporating collagen for better bone health, or simply making sure that kids get their daily protein quota are some of the easiest changes we can make for a healthier tomorrow. While you might not find all of these at your local stores, we have a solution for that too. With Amazon's wide selection of health products and great deals this World Nutrition Week, they are our pick to get started with these small healthy changes. The fast and reliable delivery is an added perk, and the ease of taking your time to compare products and specifications is something you find on Amazon only. 

Here are some of the star health products on Amazon that can help you get started on a health journey

Let’s start with the backbone of the family. Women have long been making sure the kids have healthy snacks, family members get their daily dose of dry fruits, the oil that gets used is the best on the market, and so much more. And in all that, we’ve completely forgotten our own needs. As we age, the body requires better nutrition to function smoothly, and often in different ways than other age groups. With its added Vitamin D and Calcium, Horlicks Women’s Plus is a great way to start caring for the bones, and the caramel flavour just makes it all so much better. But if you want to explore the other flavours in Horlicks Women's Plus, Amazon's wide variety of products makes that a breeze.

We got bones covered with the nutrition drink, but caring for yourself doesn’t stop there. Women today need a wholesome package, to battle the issues caused by stress, fatigue, and poor nutrition, which is where Centrum Women Multivitamin Tablets come into play. Enriched with 23 essential vitamins and minerals, these tablets ensure better immunity, strength, and much healthier-looking skin. What makes it even better is that they use plant-based hyaluronate, making it perfect for vegans and vegetarians. While there are many nutraceuticals that you can explore on Amazon's health section, this one takes the cake with how easy it is to incorporate into day-to-day life. 

A product that needs no introduction, Dabur Honey has been aiding everyone in their fitness journey for the longest time. We all know the weight management benefits of a teaspoon of honey with warm water, the first thing in the morning but honey can be used in so many more ways. Swap your regular sugar, add to your morning oats, or drizzle over your veggie toast, Dabur Honey goes with everything. It is also one of the only brands that are glyphosate residue-free, which is why it is our choice over others. Glyphosate is a commonly used herbicide and can be harmful for human consumption.

Raw, unfiltered, and naturally fermented, Tata GoFit Himalayan Apple Cider Vinegar is one of the best things to add to your diet. While we all know the immunity and weight management benefits of apple cider vinegar, it also helps improve gut health and fight anaemia. You can drink it first thing in the morning, diluted with warm water, or even use it in salad dressings, making sure your gut gets the health benefits without compromising on the taste. Once you've incorporated this into your diet, you can also opt for Amazon's subscription service which lets you automate purchases, making the entire process fuss-free.

If a protein powder backed by Ayurveda is what you seek, OZiva is just for you. Not just clean protein, it also has a powerful blend of Ayurvedic herbs like Shatavri and Guduchi, making it especially good for women. Apart from helping with your daily protein needs, this blend also impacts your hormonal and digestive health. You can either consume it as a simple protein mix or if you’re feeling a bit fancy, go for a peanut butter smoothie.

We couldn’t have suggested a peanut butter smoothie and not talk about this. Unsweetened, with no added stabilizers, and free of hydrogenated oils, Pintola’s All Natural Peanut Butter is an amazing ingredient that you can use in so many ways. Add it to a protein smoothie, make a quick office snack with peanut butter and jam sandwiches, or make your instant noodles healthier with the addition of a spoonful of peanut butter and soya sauce, the options are endless. The best part is that Pintola makes their All Natural Peanut Butter in different forms and flavours, and you can explore the entire range in Amazon's health section. Whether you like it crunchy or smooth, unsweetened or with just a bit of jaggery, Amazon has it all. 

Shelcal Pro Gummies is a health supplement for adults. It is sugar-free. It has calcium (500 mg) + Vitamin D3 (250 IU), which helps support strong bones and joints, optimum bone density, muscle strength, and immunity. It is available in an assorted pack of 30 gummies, in two delicious flavours like lemon, orange, and mixed berries. It has no artificial flavours. It is gelatin-free and gluten-free.

Whether you’re recovering from illness, or need supplementing, Ensure has long been the trusted name for nutrition for adults. Not only is it helpful in reviving muscle strength because it contains hydroxy-beta-methyl-butyrate or HMB, it is also a great source of close to 32 different nutrients that make this a full meal for the elderly or people recovering from sickness and an amazing supplement otherwise.

Cosmix is a newer entrant in the wellness arena but has taken over quite quickly, and it is easy to see why. While the older sad formulations for protein powder come in a few synthetic flavours only, Cosmix keeps it fun and fresh with natural flavours, so much so that some of their much-loved ones, like Mahabaleshwar Strawberry, only are manufactured in the strawberry season. Apart from this, Cosmix has been revolutionary in making sure that protein powders aren’t tough on the gut, and we can’t love them enough for that. 

You can explore the entire Cosmix range on Amazon, and whatever it is that rocks your boat, the seasonal Pina Colada or the perenially loved Indonesian Cacao, you'll find it all, and with a great discount. 

We do understand that adult healthcare is much overlooked, but not all our recommendations are around that. Whether you’re a working parent trying to find a good supplementary food, or just have a fussy toddler that refuses to drink milk, Nangrow is your solution. It has multiple vitamins, whey protein that helps with all the amino acids, and most importantly DHA that helps with the mental development of children, and as any parent understands, a balance of them all is imperative for proper growth.

Mental health and well-being are important, whether that is ensuring that the blend for your child has DHA, or that you get Omega 3 for better cognitive skills. And what better source than fish oil capsules! Sourced from deep ocean fishes to ensure contamination-free oil, GNC’s Omega 3 capsules also aid in better vision, elevate joint pain, and improve heart function. With their wide variety of health products, Amazon gives you many options for Omega 3 capsules too, but we absolutely love this one simply because they don’t happen to have the fishy aftertaste you regularly get with fish oil capsules.

While Omega 3 helps you get healthier, collagen is known to reflect that on your skin too. As we age, our skin’s collagen production drops significantly, resulting in textured, loose skin. Not only this, but lack of collagen also impacts the bones, joints, hair, and nails, which makes a good collagen supplement in your diet quite important. Wellbeing’s sustainably sourced, and unflavoured marine collagen supplements are a good place to start. While you can easily find this on Amazon, they also have a wide variety of Wellbeing Nutrition products for vegetarians too. 

Strong, healthy hair is just as important as nourished skin, and while collagen helps with the quality, when it comes to growth and hair fall, biotin is what you need. And while there are multiple brands with capsules and tablets, What’s Up’s gummies make the job so much tastier. It is also a great blend as it incorporates the goodness of Zinc and Folic Acid, as well as the superfood seabuckthorn berries in the gummies, in comparison to other brands that are often just plain biotin.

Apart from the supplements, it is also imperative to weed out unhealthy lifestyle choices, out of which heavy consumption of white sugar happens to be one. A great way is to incorporate other natural sweeteners like jaggery or honey, but they also modify the taste significantly. Sugar Free’s Green Stevia Pouch, made from natural stevia leaves is just what you need here. Also cutting down on sugar calories, this option is also a great choice for vegans who might not want to work with honey. If you're incorporating this into your diet, Amazon offers a great subscription service, where you get timely and hasslefree automated deliveries, making sure you always have some in stock. 

What good are all of these changes if your sleep cycle is disturbed! The body needs rest, and ample sleep for proper cognition, and other bodily functions. It always helps to make lifestyle changes to get your sleep schedule back on track, but sometimes that’s not enough. What’s Up Wellness’s Melatonin Gummies are a perfect aid to help you fall asleep, and with tart cherry and chamomile extracts, relaxation just gets better.

Another important aspect of well-being is a healthy gut. Often termed as the second brain, the gut is host to microbiomes that impact a lot of body functions, absorption of nutrients, and overall health, which is why keeping your gut happy is imperative. Cosmix’s My Happy Gut is enriched with Mulethi and Triphala, making it efficient and with Ashoka root and ginger the mix also tastes good. Fermented papaya and guava also help with bowel movement making this mix a must for the happy gut. We love Cosmix products, and Amazon only makes it easier to do with their wide selection. The best part? You can opt for combos, and save some big bucks.

Not just overall health benefits, blends for the gut can often be helpful in specific health goals. The Good Bug’s Metabolically Lean SuperGut Powder, for example, is a great addition to your diet if you’re looking for regulate food cravings, and fat conversion into energy, aided by the star ingredient L-Carnitine. It also has clinically proven strains to help build your gut microbiome better.

This product will remind you why they say that getting stronger and looking good is 80% diet, and 20% working out. Not only does it help in muscle and nerve function, Magnesium Glycinate also aids in anxiety and regulates the sleep cycle. With everything tuned better, you’re bound to gain more from your workouts.

What about the post-workout snack you ask? Try these. Whether you need a quick fix post your workout or need an evening snack on your commute back from work, RiteBite’s protein bars are a great option. With an ideal mix of 3 protein blends that are whey protein, soy and casein, and great flavour options, you have got the best of both worlds. You can explore all their yummy flavours on Amazon. 

We’ve already covered a bunch of mixes and blends that can aid in your fitness journey but if you battle issues like Diabetes, incorporating those can be a hassle. Protinex has got your back though. Clinically proven to have Low GI, Protinex’s Diabetes Care Mix also contains many other essential nutrients that make it a perfect choice.

A brand so iconic that we have long associated growth with drinking Complan, and one look at their nutrition drink powder makes it easy to understand why. Enriched with protein and 34 nutrients, and a focus on immunity building, Complan has always been a great choice for kids' drink powder. And with the choice of flavours, we can’t complain about taste either. Whether your kid likes Complan's chocolate flavour, or kesar pista to mix in with cold milk for summer evenings, with Amazon's wide selection of flavours, getting started on this is a breeze. 

Kids have Complan, and the adults can go for Supradyn. With 5 times the Zinc and 12 essential nutrients, these tablets not only aid with energy but also improve concentration, and strengthen your immunity.

Sometimes we are so focused on physically being healthy, that we forget to take into consideration all that is required for cognitive functioning. Vitamin B12 is one of the most key components, and apart from the regular health benefits, has also been proven to help with mood management and anxiety, which makes incorporating it into our day-to-day lives quite important. The fact that these are quick-dissolving strips only makes it better. If you love these and look forward to exploring other melt strips by Wellbeing Nutrition, Amazon not only has a wide variety of their products but also great offers on combos. 

While this is by no means an exhaustive list as the health inventory on Amazon is as good as it gets, these are for sure a great way to get started. You can also explore other options on Amazon, and with their wide selection, you get to compare, understand and choose your products wisely.
