Trends In The World Of Wellbeing

By Connor Sullivan

Constantly new fads become popular surrounding individuals' eating habits and recently discovered edible solutions. A newer trend among in the realm of healthy eating is only eating raw food. Individuals who are on a raw food diet do not eat products that are processed or cooked, and typically only eat organic. A lot of vegetarian or vegan individuals are enthusiasts of this fad and many people see it as a choice for personal wellness. Recently habits promoting total natural eating habits have become very trendy. Another popular trend is finding natural replacement for chemical substitutes that have been used in the past. A lot of places are offering natural cane sugar as well as the artificial sweeteners. A number of newer products have had the artificial sweeteners replaced with natural ingredients before the company releases them.

Because antioxidants became a focus among health marketers, certain fruits became quite trendy. Pomegranates became very popular in all sorts of products. Consumers everywhere can now find pomegranate drinks, snacks containing pomegranate or pomegranate flavors, body wash products containing pomegranate, and candles or other home products with pomegranate scents. Another fruit that was virtually unheard of and suddenly became popular is the acai berry. Now it is being used for weight loss and became very popular quite quickly.

When specifically discussing trends on dietary habits, lately there has been a very big turn towards eating organic. Especially concerning meats, there has been a demand to know where and how the animal was raised. Many individuals choose only to buy free range meats, which is to say the animal was not contained, but was able to graze freely. Choosing to purchase only organic foods, has also become quite popular as mentioned above. Because of this new organic population of shoppers, companies are creating a wide variety of organic products.

One trend that has done surprisingly well especially within the realm of fighting child obesity is incorporating fitness into technology and fun. With the creation of interactive video games that require the player to get up and move, fitness games have been very successful. This also has allowed video game companies to reach new consumer types by creating fitness games that cover an number of interests including yoga, snowboarding, dancing, basketball, archery, and many others. It can become an expensive investment to purchase the game system, equipment, and games, but they still seem to sell in large numbers especially, but not exclusively, among youth.

In the fitness world, companies are starting to release more creative options. Videos for step aerobics and other workouts are being replaced by more modern workout options, specifically involving dance. A lot of individuals are more motivated to work out by videos and classes that involve cardio workouts put to music and using dance steps. Just like incorporating technology in fitness, creating a fun alternative to the typical cardio workouts results in more individuals wanting to invest time and money into these products than the somewhat outdated types of fitness. - 31836
