Pandemic has taught us as to why it’s important to take care of our health and this year has been an eye-opener for many of us - in terms of lifestyle & wellbeing. While staying at home (last year) gave us a lot of time to examine and inculcate some healthy & sustainable habits.
Hence today in this article, we will talk about a few wellness trends that you can follow for a healthy and happy life.
Flexitarian Diet:
Flexitarian diets, which require transitioning from non-vegetarian to vegetarian and then gradually adopting a vegan diet, are becoming increasingly popular. A flexitarian diet involves consuming less meat and animal products and focusing on nutrient-dense plant-based meals.
A flexible diet supports not just the avoidance of meat and animal products, but also the avoidance of highly processed foods, refined carbohydrates, and added sweets.
A holistic approach to health
Nowadays, people pay more attention to a holistic approach to their health, which includes meditation exercises, a moderate diet, and paying attention to eating habits, rather than following a strict diet and weight loss plan. More people will learn how to eat properly instead of following a strict diet that doesn't fit your body type.
Biohacking
There is no specific strategy or procedure that must be followed to obtain a perfect health goal because everyone's needs are different. Biohacking is one such way of extending the body's cycle and gaining biological control.
Biohacking is a technique that is gaining popularity in the Western world. It is basically a way to figure out what body type, eating habits, and lifestyle are optimal for you.
Gut and Gut-Brain Health
Our emotions have an impact on our gastrointestinal tract. Intestinal sensations can be triggered by emotions such as anger, anxiety, grief, and euphoria. The stomach and intestines are directly affected by the brain.
Similar to how a troubled brain can send signals to the intestine, an unhappy intestine can send signals to the brain. Stomach and intestinal disorders can be the source of anxiety, stress, and melancholy, so it's critical to look after your gut and brain health.
Prioritize Your Emotional Health
As the boundary between professional life and personal life is diminishing day by day, people have now become more attentive towards their mental wellbeing.
One of the major trends we'll see this year is people placing a higher priority on their mental and emotional wellbeing. To preserve balance in these opposing environments, people began to pick checkups and flexible work hours. People have taken an interest in resurrecting long-forgotten hobbies as well as relaxing activities.
