It’s no secret that we live in a super-saturated world of commerce, a fact that carries its share of both pros and cons. While on one hand there’s more to choose from than ever before, all those choices can make the process of figuring out what to spend your money on downright exhausting. To help you swim through it all and spend your hard-earned dollars wisely, we’ve rounded up 37 of Amazon’s best health and wellness products, including fitness gear, grooming supplies, food and drink options, and products that will improve your home. And who knows—maybe you’ll discover an item you didn’t even realize you needed!
Fitness
1. Put on a sports bra that actually works.
How many times have you thrown a sports bra in your cart, only to wind up sorely disappointed with its ability to actually do its job? You’re not alone. The search for an excellent sports bra that holds in the ladies is real, but that search is officially over. Panache’s Underwire Sports Bra has garnered over 3,000 reviews and an impressive rating of 4.1 out of 5 stars. We love that it comes in a massive range of sizes (28D to 40H) and that so many buyers sing its praises.
2. Invest in super versatile hiking shoes.
Take your hiking shoes to the next level with Merrell’s Siren Edge Hiker, a versatile shoe that features a Vibram sole and comes in a range of color options. Because it’s made with breathable mesh lining, it also works well as a quick-drying water shoe. Also, the fact that it comes with organic odor control will make you—and whoever lives with you—super happy with this purchase.
3. Try a moisture-wicking shirt with UV protection.
It may seem counterintuitive to wear a long-sleeve shirt while spending time out in the sun, but the truth is that lightweight coverage can actually keep you cooler, prevent sunburns, and keep your energy levels up. Naviskin’s Sun Protection UPF 50+ UV Outdoor Long Sleeve T-Shirt boasts super comfortable, breathable, moisture-wicking fabric that won’t chafe. Plus, its UPF 50+ rating means your skin will be protected from sun exposure. Sunburns be gone! Wear it while hiking, fishing, golfing, climbing, running, or hey, even on a picnic.
4. Educate yourself on the key muscles used in yoga.
Whether you’re a novice yogi or someone who’s been practicing for years, having a full understanding of the muscle groups engaged while in various yoga positions can be monumental in improving your workout. Via 3D illustrations, the author walks you through the major muscle groups, tendons, and ligaments used in Hatha yoga, highlighting “the agonist, antagonist, and synergist muscles that come into play with each pose.” This is the first book in the series and is approved for all levels.
5. Make life easier with slip-on athletic shoes.
Once you try laceless, slip-on sneakers for the first time, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without them. They’re incredibly convenient to put on and remove—and look stylish to boot. Vionic’s Women’s Brisk Dash Slip-on Sneaker comes in three different color options and feature a durable rubber outsole, biomechanical technology, and removable mesh covered footbeds. We recommend them specifically for low-impact workouts such as cycling, spinning, walking, weight training, or strength conditioning.
6. Tone and firm with this funky workout accessory.
It may seem like an odd workout accessory, but Pvolve’s P.ball can actually work some serious magic on your inner thighs, outer thighs, and gluteus maximus. It’s essentially a PVC ball that you secure around your upper legs before completing various exercises. According to the product description, wearing it better activates those hard-to-reach muscles for improved definition. You can read more about the product here, and even stream fitness classes where the P.ball is the star of the show.
7. Downward dog on a fancy yoga mat.
Not all yoga mats are created equal. Some offer more cushioning, some are more grippy, some are more durable, and some are just flat out prettier to look at. Sugarmat has all the above covered. Their mats feature high-quality, eco-friendly construction, which means they’re ready for years of action and are genuinely built to last. They’re also machine washable and approved for hot yoga, outdoor yoga, and pilates. This particular design is from their Healing Heart collection, but they offer a wide range of styles. While aesthetic appeal isn’t everything, it sure does make a yoga session more fun when you’ve got a fancy yoga mat to vinyasa upon.
8. Use a foam roller that massage therapists swear by.
This is one of those products that you might not have ever heard of, but given the string of five-star reviews from over 3,000 shoppers of Amazon, you’ll quickly realize that it might be worth buying. Trigger Point Performance’s TriggerPoint Grid Foam Roller is a patented design used by massage therapists, physical therapists, trainers, coaches, and athletes swear by for loosening muscles, improving oxygen flow, and channeling blood. Your purchase comes with an informational guide to help you utilize it effectively. It also comes in five different colors, including hot pink and lime green. Go wild!
9. Take a load off by jumping in a hammock.
You’re out hiking for the day and all is well, until you realize that it’d be really nice if you had somewhere to rest that didn’t involve rocky ground. This is precisely the moment you’ll be grateful you have a totable hammock in your backpack. Not to mention those glorious views. Hey, you could even bring a book or consider taking a nap under the stars. Grand Trunk’s Double Parachute hammock is ultra-lightweight and super compact, making it easy to carry around with you on a hike or while camping. It also comes with carabiners and hanging kit, which means it’s ready for action the second it arrives on your doorstep.
10. Hydrate yourself with a little extra pizzazz.
This is the sign you’ve been looking for to officially upgrade your water bottle. Gemstone Well’s Elixir2Go Crystal Elixir Bottle features rose quartz and clear quartz gemstones at the bottom, which makes this bottle way more fun to tote around, look at, and selfie with. Some believe that crystal infusion can offer a range of spiritual benefits, but even if you don’t buy into that notion, it’s still a beautiful bottle to own. It also comes with a protective neoprene sleeve for safe keeping.
Food and Drink
11. “Fry” your foods without any actual oil.
If you’re unfamiliar with air fryers, get ready to experience a cooking gadget that will truly rock your world (or at least your kitchen counters). Bella’s Electric Hot Air Fryer cooks vegetables, potatoes, mushrooms, meat, fish—and pretty much whatever else you decide to put inside of it—with convection technology, aka hot air, instead of oil. The results are food that’s texturally similar to regular fried food but doesn’t have nearly as many calories, or as much fat. If you need a little help to spur your cooking creativity, thumb through Air Fry Genius: 100+ New Recipes for EVERY Air Fryer.
12. Give a new sparkling water brand a chance.
La Croix will forever be near and dear to our hearts and mouths, but let’s take a second to acknowledge that there are a plethora of other hydrating options to choose from, as well. One of those is Phocus’ Caffeinated Sparkling Water, which contains 75mg of tea-extracted caffeine in every bottle. It gets its name from the additional 70mg L-Theanine that’s included as well, which the brand explains is an amino acid that has neuro-enhancing properties. The fact that it also contains zero calories, sugars, or artificial sweeteners makes it a worthwhile option to try at least once!
13. Brew yourself a delicious cuppa tea or coffee.
The Gourmia Electric Coffee & Tea Brewing System doesn’t just look fancy—it actually brews a superior cup of tea or coffee. It allows you to choose from three different strength options, including light, medium, and strong, and features a refresh cycle that ensures you get max flavor out of your coffee grounds or loose-leaf tea. We appreciate that it’s ETL certified, which means that you can rest easy knowing it’s a safe and high-quality appliance.
14. Feel better about the gum you chew.
Read the ingredients on a traditional package of chewing gum and you might be surprised at what you find. There are added sugars, artificial sugars, artificial flavors, and ingredients that aren’t easy to recognize. Many gums also contain non-vegan ingredients, which makes them off-limits to those who are strictly plant powered. Simply Gum has filed a noted gap in the market via their Natural Vegan Chewing Gum, which is animal-friendly and contains zero artificial ingredients. Choose from six flavors, including mint, ginger, coffee, cinnamon, licorice, and maple.
Improved Home
15. Breathe better in your home.
It doesn’t matter where you live or who lives with you, every home can benefit from an air purifier. Many times, we don’t even realize how poor the air quality is until after we nix dust, smoke, odors, mold, pet dander, and other allergens. There are plenty of air purifiers to choose from, but we’ve chosen to highlight Levoit’s Air Purifier. This purifier features a three-stage HEPA filtration system and even a handy-dandy nightlight. You don’t have to take our word for how awesome it is, though. Just read through the 1900 customer reviews.
16. Learn how to live a greener lifestyle.
Leah Segedie is an environmental activist who’s made it her mission to make the world a safer, greener, more eco-conscious place. She’s the founder of ShiftCon, an expo where green-savvy customers and companies unite, as well as Mamavation, a website for moms who simply want to make sure their families live happier and healthier. All this has culminated in a book that Segedie published this year titled Green Enough: Eat Better, Live Cleaner, Be Happier—All Without Driving Your Family Crazy! Whether you’re curious about how to live a more tuned-in, fully-aware lifestyle, or if you’ve been walking the green path for years, you’ll learn something new from this book.
17. Make yourself more comfortable in your office chair.
With nearly 3000 reviews and a rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars, you know there has to be something special about Everlasting Comfort’s 100% Pure Memory Foam Back Cushion. It was designed to slip over the back of any office chair to provide maximized lumbar support. If you’ve ever stood up from your office chair in pain, or if you get uncomfortable quickly while working, this product could help make a difference. Bonus: It can also slip over your car seat. Hello, comfortable road trips!
18. Relish in a miniature indoor garden.
Were you aware that spending more time around plants could improve your general mood and well-being? Studies have confirmed this, which means it’s officially time you began filling your space with more greenery. Though any plant will do, we’re suggesting Spigo’s Indoor LED Light Grow Garden. Not only does it look straight out of the future, it was designed to help anyone who doesn’t have a green thumb keep their plants alive. This garden features an automatic light controller to ensure your plants get the right amount of light, as well as a water gauge to help you determine how much water is left in the reservoir. No more thirsty plants!
19. Wake up in a healthier, more natural way.
We hate to sound the alarm (get it?), but waking up with an obnoxious alarm clock that jolts you from a peaceful slumber can be hazardous to your health. We’re not kidding! Ideally, your body wakes itself up naturally after completing a full sleep cycle. Another option that’s much gentler on your body can actually make you feel better all day long—is to wake up with natural light. Philips Wake-Up Light Alarm Clock will help you do just that. It features both a colored sunrise simulation and sunset fading night light for better ZZZs.
20. Bring a little Himalayan salt into your space.
While we’re on the topic of light sources, we’d be remiss to not talk about Himalayan salt lamps. At this point, they’re still the things of new age “science” with few substantiated studies or facts, but some people swear by Himalayan salt’s healing benefits. At the very least, Himalayan lamps and candles look pretty cool. They emit a soft, glowing light that can really set the mood for a relaxing evening. In lieu of the standard lamp, we’re suggesting you try Mockins’ Himalayan Salt Tea Light Candle Holders, which come in a set of four.
21. Create a spa-like space with an aromatherapy diffuser.
In case you haven’t noticed, aromatherapy essential oils are a really big deal right now. That said, there are a ton of different diffuser options to choose from, so we wouldn’t be surprised if you had no idea where to start. In our opinion, ArtNaturals’ Aromatherapy Essential Oil and Diffuser Gift Set is your best bet for several reasons. First, it comes with eight therapeutic-grade oils. Also, it features a beautiful wood design with shifting LED lights, shuts off automatically on a timer, and comes with Bluetooth technology so you can play music from it. You really can’t beat the price, either.
22. Get some shuteye while wearing a cute eye mask.
Obviously, the Philips Wake-Up Light Alarm Clock isn’t going to work if you’re wearing an eye mask, but if you ever find yourself in need of sleeping in (say, on the weekends) or in situations where it’s bright (say, an airplane or during a Sunday afternoon nap), then an eye mask could solve a lot of your problems. We’re featuring Fitglam’s Natural Silk Sleep Mask because the eyelash design is super cute, but also because it’s made of 100 percent natural mulberry silk, which is soft, lightweight, and br∂eathable.
23. Get better sleep on a better pillow.
Speaking of sleep, let’s discuss the importance of a good pillow. First of all, if you use a standard polyester or cotton pillow, it ought to be replaced every 12 months for sanitary purposes. We’ll spare you the gnarly details and encourage you to do some research on your own when you’re feeling up to it. That said, if you invest in a high-quality pillow, it can last many years longer. Further, it’s so much more comfortable to sleep on! We recommend Reverie’s Dual Slumber Down Alternative and Memory Foam Pillow, which is constructed from a naturally antimicrobial fabric that’s resistant to dust mites. It also features temperature-smart memory foam that promotes improved circulation and pressure point release.
24. See what all the “weighted blanket” fuss is about.
It goes without saying that sleep is uber-important to your health, so we’re doubling down and giving you one more option that falls into the bedtime department. Chances are, you’ve heard people buzzing about how amazing weighted blankets are, and there’s a reason why: They are magical inventions! People swear that the extra weight makes them fall asleep more quickly and sleep more deeply. Some even say it helps with anxiety and mid-sleep tossing and turning. Try Huggaroo’s Premium Adult Weighted Blanket Set, which comes in three colors and has 5-star ratings across the board.
Grooming
25. Clean your face with a gentle brush.
If the Clarisonic wasn’t really your thing but you’re still on the lookout for a better way to clean your face, the Foreo Luna 2.0 might just be the answer to your skincare prayers. The hygienic silicone device features a T-Sonic facial cleansing brush that gently buffs away dead skin cells and massages the skin. The results are skin that’s cleaner that it would be with just your fingers or a washcloth, which means fewer breakouts and a brighter complexion. Choose from four colors, including pink, teal, lavender, and blue.
26. Indulge in an at-home facial with this high-tech tool.
If you haven’t heard of the Hydrafacial or the Dermalinfusion facial, let us bring you up to speed. It’s a type of facial, typically performed at a skin clinic or spa, that involves three primary steps: microdermabrasion (the process of exfoliating skin via microcrystals), vacuuming the pores (aka sucking out the gunk and goo), and then replenishing the freshly cleansed skin with a liquid. The Trophy Skin RejuvadermMD is an at-home product that completes the first two steps. After using, you can apply your own serums and moisturizers. Considering the fact that many professional facials will cost you $100 per go, this set is an excellent value.
27. Spritz yourself for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up.
Whether you’re feeling that 3 p.m. slow-down at work or you simply could use a refresher, a little facial hydrating mist could put you in a better headspace. Not to mention, it’s great for your skin. Try Fig + Yarrow’s Organic Complexion Water, which is formulated with rose water, neroli water, and sandalwood, neroli, and rose essential oils. Bonus: All the ingredients are organic.
28. Freshen your mouth with a high-quality toothbrush.
Given just how important our teeth are—and how easy it is for them to get damaged without proper care—it’s kind of funny to think about how resistant some people are to investing a little extra into making sure they’re in top-notch shape. If you’re in the market for a high-end toothbrush that’s got a load of rave reviews to substantiate the manufacturer’s claims, try the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Sonic Electric Rechargeable Toothbrush.
29. Swap out your floss for a Waterpik.
Nope, we’re not done talking about teeth! While you’re shopping for a new toothbrush, also consider the importance of flossing. When done with proper technique, flossing is an effective way to prevent plaque buildup, gum disease, and cavities. That said, a surprisingly effective alternative to traditional floss-based flossing is a water flosser, which uses a targeted stream of water to clean hard-to-reach areas of the mouth. We suggest Waterpik’s ADA Accepted WP-660 Aquarius Water Flosser, which has over 11,000 reviews on Amazon and a rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars.
30. Swipe on an all-natural deodorant.
You’ve probably heard a lot of back-and-forth about whether you should wear traditional deodorant or antiperspirant, or just go au naturel. According to the National Cancer Institute, some scientists do claim that aluminum-containing deodorants and antiperspirant may cause cancer. While these studies haven’t been conclusive, we understand why many consider making the switch. One option is to use an all-natural deodorant, such as Ursa Major’s Hoppin’ Fresh Deodorant. It’s 100 percent natural and free of aluminum, and according to the reviews, it works.
31. Indulge in a luxury shower head.
Make shower time way more luxurious by swapping out your old, gunked-up showerhead with one that’s loaded up with bells and whistles. AquaDance’s 7-inch Premium High Pressure 3-Way Rainfall Showerhead boasts six different settings and a shiny chrome finish. It also has both a traditional shower head and a hand-held head, which you can use simultaneously or separately. Who needs a spa day when you can just step into your own decked-out shower?
Mental Wellness
32. Practice mindfulness with this guided journal.
There’s no denying the power of scribbling your thoughts and musings onto a blank page in your journal. Sometimes, though, it’s hard to find that creative momentum. The Mindfulness Project’s got your back (and your mind), though, with I Am Here Now: A Creative Mindfulness Guide and Journal. It’s loaded with activities and prompts to guide you into a more mindful state, and aims to inspire you to “explore the world with greater curiosity and find moments of mindfulness in everyday life, while unleashing your creativity along the way.”
33. Opt for more than just a step tracker.
You’ve got roughly a million different activity trackers to choose from, and each has its own benefits. One that stands apart in a sea of devices is the Spire Stone, a stress management and activity tracker that monitors your breathing and helps you slow down when things start spiraling. It is truly fascinating to observe what your breathing habits are like throughout the day (who knew you held your breath while sending emails?), and it still affords you the benefit of tracking your steps, as well.
34. Control and eliminate the chaos that surrounds you.
Jordan Peterson’s 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos is a wildly popular book on Amazon, and for good reason. The noted psychologist, who’s authored a number of other well-received books, has truly tapped into the way the modern world affects us every day. In 12 Rules, he helps the reader figure out how to silence the noise we’re all accustomed to but plagued by in modern life. One reviewer wrote, “His 12 Rules serve as a guide on how to go from that point of failure to a point of redemption, offering a series of suggestions and guidelines to take a life that is becoming corrupted by hatred of the world and everything in it and turn it into a vessel for growth and self-improvement.”
35. Incorporate sound energy into your meditation routine.
Why buy a singing bowl? Well, the next time you’re feeling frenzied, you may find that the perfect way to center yourself is through a little sound energy. It’s also a great way to start your yoga routine, meditation session, our morning tea ritual. However you choose to use the Ohm Store’s Tibetan Meditation Yoga Singing Bowl Set, we’re sure it will only bring peace and harmony into your space.
36. Remind yourself how awesome you are.
Our final suggestion in this list of health and wellness products is Jen Sincero’s book, You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life. It feels less like a banal self-help book and more like a no-nonsense guide for living the life you want. Sincero’s voice is fresh, blunt, and free of saccharine platitudes.
