this week in ZUMBA

I was hoping on choreographing some new Zumba routines, but I haven't had a moment to spare with unpacking in the house.

So I'm going to recycle some Latin and hip-hop/pop routines that we haven't done in awhile. I gotta keep you up on your toes!

Now onto your weekly health tip!

5 supplements you need now


If you consistently eat a balanced, whole foods–based diet, do you really need to take supplements? If you’re aiming for optimal health as you age, the answer is yes.

Beyond a high-quality multivitamin, which many experts recommend as a sort of nutritional health insurance, a handful of supplements help fill in important gaps. “Americans are often eating a lot but not getting enough,” says Robert Bonakdar, MD, of the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine and editor of The H.E.R.B.A.L. Guide (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2010). Shortfalls in essential nutrients tend to increase inflammation in the body, a state that is linked to a number of diseases, Bonakdar says.

So what are the top supplements to add to your routine? Here are some experts’ picks.

1. VITAMIN D
2. OMEGA-3S
3. MAGNESIUM
4. COENZYME Q10
5. CURCUMIN
