Recently habits promoting total natural eating habits have become very trendy. Lately there has been a lot of focus on choosing natural options for chemical substitues. A lot of places are offering natural cane sugar as well as 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 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. The acai berry became quite trendy though it was virtually unknown before its recent debut. It is advertised as a product for weight loss and became very popular quite quickly.

When specifically discussing trends on dietary habits, organic products have become quite the popular commodity.

One trend that has done surprisingly well especially in regards to the issue of 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 become quite trendy. 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. Just like incorporating 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
