Rollasole shoes
It doesn\'t matter whether heels are fashionable or not, we all wear them and will continue to do so, thanks to the numerous benefits they provide from lengthening and slimming our legs to bolstering our confidence. The one major downside to towering heels is the unbearable pain we have to bear after a long day at work or an even longer night on the dancefloor, not to mention the cost of getting them all re-heeled. Well today is every shoe lover\'s lucky day, a saviour in the form of a flexible ballet pump which can be rolled up to fit in the tiniest of clutch bags has emerged and all for the purse-friendly price of £5. The new shoes, aptly-named Rollasole, can be purchased from nightclub vending machines or online at www.rollasole.com so you need never be spotted limping home from the night bus again.

The Harcombe diet
We all know that the minute you start dieting, the urge to eat everything that is bad for you becomes even greater than ever, so here\'s a thought - don\'t diet. It might sound too good to be true but a new diet in town called The Harcombe Diet that helps followers lose weight and keep it off by allowing them unlimited amounts of fats and carbs. The only things banned are processed foods, sugary drinks and alcohol. The diet consists of three phases which each last five days resulting in significant weight loss and some people have been known to lose 14lb in five days. Sounds good to us!

Taut sports drink
health,healthy eating,health product,fitness
Taur sports drink
If you need more than a bottle of water to keep you going at the gym, then a sports drink is definitely the answer. A good sports drink puts back in what sweating and exercising takes out, but so many out there are full of sugar, sweetener and additives, not so healthy after a great workout. Unlike other drinks, a new range from Taut isn\'t packed with calories, aspartame and nasty colourings. Taut is an isotonic drink full of vitamin B6 (good for energy) and minerals and only contains 119 calories so you won\'t have to worry about doing an extra ten minutes on the cross-trainer to burn it off. We love the Goji & Pomegranate flavour which is good enough to drink whether you\'re at the gym or not!
£1.09, available from Tesco, Waitrose and other leading supermarkets and gyms

If you\'re looking for a new challenge to get fit, lose weight and feel great about yourself then a triathlon is the right way to go and there\'s now plenty of hi-tech new kit out there to give you a helping hand in preparing for your event. To mark its co-operation with the ITU (International Triathlon Union), Suunto sports watches have just released a new triathlon collection containing the t6c Red Arrow and t3c Black Arrow heart monitors.
