Trends In The World Of Wellbeing

By Connor Sullivan

Constantly new crazes become popular surrounding individuals' eating habits and recently discovered edible solutions. One of the most recent fads among in the nutritional world 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. This trend is quite popular among individuals who already have decided to be vegetarian or vegan and believe it has a lot to do with personal wellness. Along with this, there are numerous other trends surrounding healthy living that have become popular lately. Lately there has been a lot of focus on choosing natural options for chemical substitues. Most restaurants or coffee shops have cane sugar packets as an option along with the artificial sweeteners. Also, a lot of companies are attempting to remove artificial sweeteners from their products.

Another recent trend with in the health market is the use of certain fruits because of the craze surrounding antioxidants. Pomegranates started becoming a very common ingredient in a variety of commercial 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, organic products have become quite the popular commodity. Especially when discussing 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. More companies are creating organic options of existing products to cater to the new market of organic eaters.

One trend that has done surprisingly well especially in regards to the issue of child obesity is technology based fitness activities. 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 array of interests including yoga, snowboarding, dancing, basketball, archery, and many others. Though it can be somewhat pricey to purchase the game system, equipment, and games, but they still seem to sell in large numbers especially, but not exclusively, among youth.

Creative fitness plans are becoming more and more popular. Videos for step aerobics and other workouts are being replaced by newer more creative ideas, specifically involving dance. The classes and videos that promise cardio workouts to fun music with dance routines are becoming more attractive to that fitness market. Similarly to the use of technology in fitness, designing new options instead of the typical cardio workouts results in more individuals wanting to invest time and money into these products than the more traditional types of fitness. - 31836
