Flummoxed by the bizarre
chat from the clean-living
brigade down at the gym?
We’ve decoded the health
speak so you can sort

ust as you got your head round

everyone’s banging on about the
benefits of Nauli—and you’re
pretty sure they don’t mean the hot
new trainer in your gym. But in a
world where every month sees a
new super-grain sprout up, and
workout trends move faster than
Usain Bolt, keeping up with the
wellness talk can be tough. Luckily,
we’ve compiled a handy guide to the
new buzzwords—and exactly how to
use them. You can thank us later!
