Going nuts Coconut water may be a better way to rehydrate the body during the summer months than rehydration sports drinks. American studies have found that blood sugar levels are restored faster with coconut water and that its high potassium content can also help with leg cramps and restless legs. However, too much potassium can actually cause cramps, so (like anything), coconut water is best drunk in moderation. See the light We’ve heard about ‘eating the rainbow’ for better gut health, but a prettier, more colourful plateful of veggies can also improve eyesight. Australian studies show that the more antioxidants in our foods (such as those in brightly coloured fruits and veg), the less risk we have of developing cataracts as we age.

Miracle minis If powders aren’t for you, the stackable cream formulas from Trinny London are a one-stop shop for all your space-saving beauty needs, whether it’s base, eye, cheek or lip (from £18,trinny-london.com).

Tucked away in the heart of Bray, better known as the home of culinary superstar Heston Blumenthal’s The Fat Duck and The Hind’s Head, and the Roux family’s Waterside Inn (it’s the only village in the world with three Michelin-starred restaurants) is another, more hidden, gem. Monkey Island Estate has an 800-year history as a home to monarchs, music makers (from Elgar to Dusty Springfield) and monks (who first settled here in the late 12th century). Monkey Island has been an aristocratic playground ever since the 18th century, being within easy reach of London’s palaces, yet enjoying the feeling of a remote – and private – wilderness. Its more recent history has certainly been the most colourful: Princess Margaret and the nearby Cliveden Set partied here, away from public scrutiny, alongside…
