Recent Healthy Living Advances

By Connor Sullivan

Constantly new fads become popular that have to do with dietary choices and recently discovered edible solutions. One of the most recent fads among in the realm of healthy eating is only eating raw food. People who choose to do a raw food diet do not eat anything that is 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. Most restaurants or coffee shops have cane sugar packets as an option along with 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. It is advertised as a product for weight loss and became very popular quite quickly.

When looking at fads surrounding eating healthy, organic products have become quite the popular commodity. 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. Eating organic in all food, however, 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 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. They are finding a way to create a product for all sorts of individuals 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, they seem to be quite popular especially, but not exclusively, among youth.

In the fitness world, companies are starting to release more creative options. The aerobics tapes from the 80's and 90's 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 are willing to invest time and money into these plans than the more traditional types of fitness. - 17273
