Keke Palmer reveals her 3 go-to supplements: ‘I'm not Gwyneth Paltrow yet, but I'm on my way'
Actress Keke Palmer is opening her purse and spilling her supplement secrets. In addition to housing SPF, a swath of $2 bills, freeze-dried miso soup, and contact lenses 'because all the baddies are blind,' Palmer's purse is stocked with supplements. 'When I turned 30, my knees started cracking, my hips started locking. I was popping and locking, and I just couldn't believe that it happened that fast. And I said, girl, this time I'm gonna start taking care of you the real way,' Palmer told Vogue. Part of that self-care means taking supplements. 3 Keke Palmer revealed the supplements in her bag in a video for Vogue. Vogue Selenium 'You know what's coming. I got selenium. That's right. This is good for something. I read it online,' Palmer told Vogue. Found in Brazil nuts, organ meat, seafood, grains, and dairy products, selenium is a mineral that can protect the body from infection. It can also help protect telomeres, the tiny caps at the ends of our chromosomes that shrink as we age and are linked to cancer, heart issues, and other chronic conditions. 'I'm learning as I'm going. I don't know everything, you know I'm not Gwyneth Paltrow yet, but I'm on my way,' Palmer said. D3 and K2 Palmer also keeps a combination D3 and K2 supplement in her handbag. 'I'm taking it. D3 and K2 is doing something. I feel good.' Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for maintaining good health, in part because it enables our gut to use calcium. Our muscles also require vitamin D to function properly, and nerves need it to carry messages between the brain and the body's systems. 3 'When I turned 30, my knees started cracking, my hips started locking,' Keke said Getty Images for ESSENCE There are two main forms of vitamin D: vitamin D2, found in plants and fungi, and vitamin D3, found in milk and egg yolks and synthesized in the skin when it's exposed to sunlight. Vitamin D3 is generally considered more effective at raising vitamin D levels in the blood than vitamin D2 and is believed to play a role in regulating memory, mood, behavior, and sleep. Pairing D3 with K2 has been shown to support calcium absorption and transport while directing nutrients where they're needed the most. A study published this year in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition revealed that vitamin D can protect telomeres and potentially reduce the risk of multiple sclerosis and fibroids. @voguemagazine What's in KekePalmer's bag? In a new Vogue video, the star shared all of the daily essentials she needs to function-including a Keke doll, a whole lot of $2 bills and a fancy pen for writing checks.

Meanwhile, a vitamin D deficiency can disrupt the metabolism of fatty acids, which are essential for the quality and function of cell membranes, including those found in neurons. Ionic electrolytes Palmer also keeps ionic electrolytes on hand and in her purse, noting that they keep her hydrated. 'Replacing electrolytes during times of acute water and mineral depletion like excessive sweating from training, diarrhea, vomiting or large burn injuries can be very beneficial to restoring a healthy water balance and cellular function,' Kara Lydon, RD, registered dietitian, certified intuitive eating counselor and owner of Kara Lydon Nutrition, previously told The Post. 3 She said 'I'm not Gwyneth Paltrow yet, but I'm on my way.' Getty Images Muscle cramps, fatigue, and weakness are all signs you're running low on electrolytes, since they help regulate muscle and nerve function. Headaches and dizziness are also signs. Prolonged electrolyte shortages can lead to more serious issues like irregular heartbeat or lowered blood pressure. This holy trinity of supplements conspires to keep Palmer feeling powerful in mind and body and grateful for the grace of aging. 'I will never trade the body aches for the wisdom that 30 gave me over the chaos of the twenties.'

Teenager honoured for hygiene kit for the homeless
A teenager who turned the family living room into a makeshift centre to process hygiene kits for the homeless has been recognised for his efforts. Rohan Mehta, from Kensington in west London, founded his In The Bag project two years ago. So far, the 17-year-old has donated 130 bags containing toiletries, toothbrushes and other items to homeless Londoners. Rohan, who is studying for his A-level exams at Latymer Upper School, was given the Young Achiever award by Kensington and Chelsea Council and recognised with a civic honour by Hammersmith and Fulham Council. The philanthropic teen said homelessness had always been an issue that really affected him. Rohan said when he was small and would spot someone on the street, he would ask his parents if they could provide that person with money or food. "I always knew I wanted to do something to be part of the solution so when I got a little bit older, I thought, what tangible stuff could I do? "I wanted to create something practical that could really help people, not just raise awareness, but give them something that could make them feel a little bit better, give them back some of their dignity. That's why I wanted to start In The Bag." Rohan was only 15 when he began developing the idea. His family's living room quickly filled with shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrushes and toothpaste. He said: "I wanted to focus on something with daily hygiene. When you're homeless, you don't have access to a lot of these things and when you're able to stay in a shelter overnight, for example, if you're able to clean yourself up properly, it makes you feel a lot better. "When I started studying economics, I started getting this idea of a job-seeking element to this and the whole cycle of poverty and I realised how incredibly difficult it was to break that. "You really cannot have a job interview if you do not look presentable and clean... so I wanted to do my part in sort of breaking that barrier because it's really, really difficult." His efforts have been recognised by two London councils. In March, he was handed the Young Achiever's Award by the mayor of Kensington and Chelsea. In April, he was given a civic honour by Hammersmith and Fulham Council for his contributions to building a stronger, safer, kinder borough.
