Ways to revive those resolutions for a healthier you

Our New Year’s health resolutions may be out the window by now, but don’t despair. Thanks to some genius products and gadgets, it isn’t too late to revive your efforts to have a healthier 2026.

Boost your dental game: If you’re one of the millions of us who wear a retainer, a mouth guard, or an aligner, you know how yucky they can get — no matter how much you dutifully scrub. The solution: Zima ($99.99 on zimadental.co) uses professional-level, high-frequency 42,000 Hz ultrasonic waves to create mini bubbles that clean without abrasion. It’s small and podlike in shape, and comes in either pastels like robin’s egg blue or soft pink, or neutrals like white and chic black.

Boost your probiotic game: Grab the multitasking Probiotic n-Ha Toothpaste ($14 on boka.com) that helps support your oral microbiome by promoting healthy microorganisms. The bonus? It comes in tasty flavors like citrus mint (with hints of eucalyptus and nutmeg) and peppermint blossom (laced with ylang-ylang).

Boost your skin health: The cold Northeast air has been brutal for our faces, leaving even normally supple cheeks bone-dry. Time to pick up a package of Le Shroom Stack Duo ($170 on verdoie.com), a 21-day program that employs the magic of four potent mushrooms and other nourishing compounds that support skin from the inside out. It contains a topical moisturizer and ingestible supplement, both of which lean on mushrooms that help support the skin’s barrier with efficient turnover, help with inflammation balance, and antioxidant defense. The results, after 21 days, are visible.

Boost your home health: Many of the germs in our homes can make us sick, causing viruses, allergies, and worse. So a mighty steam cleaner like the Bissell PowerFresh 3-in-1 Plus Steam Shot ($179.99 on bissell.com) is more than welcome inside. It sanitizes without chemicals and eliminates 99.9% of all the nasty stuff, and can be used on floors and almost everything else: showers, kitchen appliances, windows, curtains, and even on your favorite outfit. It’s also remarkably lightweight and easy to use, so you won’t dread cleaning.

Boost your lymphatic system: Feeling puffy can put anyone in a mood. But not everyone has the time or budget for an all-day spa treatment. The answer: Five minutes before your morning shower, put on Esker’s Lymphatic Drainage Dots ($28 on eskerbeauty.com), the wearable, skin-safe patches that mark the body’s six key drainage points and support lymph movement. (The patches are also infused with magnesium, green tea, buckeye seed, vitamin B12, and ginger.) Finish with a few light jumps, head into the shower, exfoliate, and finish with body oil.

Boost your fitness: So many of us have given up on the gym by this time of year. Which is exactly we all need something fun like the JumpSport 39″ PRO Fitness Trampoline ($409 on jumpsport.com) to get us moving and sweating again. It’s sized to fit into your home space (so there are no excuses about “not making it to the gym”); comes in a slew of bright and attractive colors (so you won’t hide it away where you’ll forget about it); and is durable enough to support everything from high-intensity cardio to balance work to sculpting. Just blast the tunes and start jumping, and what used to feel like a slog of a workout now feels like joyful me time.
