5 Wellbeing Trends to Try

As we enter the new year, the world remains in a state of uncertainty. With Covid variants creating concern on every continent, it’s no wonder that people are constantly seeking new and different ways to optimize their health and wellbeing. In this article, we’ll explore 5 of the most exciting wellbeing trends of 2022.

Next-Gen Wearables
A few years on from the Fitness tracker phenomenon, a new, more intuitive breed of fitness wearables are gaining traction. Leading the pack is the Apple Watch 7.0, which includes such next level health monitoring tools as a blood oxygen sensor. The ability to check your blood oxygen level is particularly pertinent in these Covid times as being low in blood oxygen is a marker for the virus.

Another advanced health tracker that we really like is the latest version of the Oura Ring. This sleep and activity tracker measures your respiratory rate, body temperature and heart rate variability to provide a ‘readiness score’ to determine if you are fully rested and ready for the day.

Reducetarianism
Reducetarianism is the ideal eating trend for people who want to eat more plant based foods but aren’t ready to go cold turkey on meat and dairy. It involves cutting back your consumption of meat, eggs and dairy. To get started on the Reductarian diet, cut back to 3 out of 7 days eating animal based foods. On the other 4 days, consume plant based proteins. It’s not only better for your body, but also for the planet. 

Easier Access to Healthcare
The pandemic has necessitated a change to digital and other more accessible forms of healthcare. Digital tools will offer a more personalized, immediate way to access healthcare information. Patients will also be able to receive treatment and advice for a wider spectrum of healthcare needs from a single medical professional. 

NapJitsu
Over the past two years, we have come to appreciate the importance of providing our bodies time to rejuvenate and replenish themselves. As a result, the idea of the power nap has been reinvented as Napjitsu. This idea combines the afternoon cup of black coffee with a 20-minute nap. 

There is even a Nootropic supplement called NapJistsu, which combines 110 mg of caffeine, 650 mg of nootropics and a 30 minute nap. 

Immunity Boosters
It should come as no surprise that the biggest trend of the last 12 months, which continues to be huge in 2022, is immunity boosting. This year we are likely to see more emphasis on gut health immunity. We will see the rise of ready to eat nutrition programs based on satisfying the needs of the gut microbiome. The general importance of gut health in treating a whole range of health conditions will also lead to the growing popularity of fiber based supplements and health foods.

Wrap Up
2022 is going to be all about personalised, instant health monitoring, daily bodily rejuvenation and taking care of our immunity and gut health. Embrace these trends early on and you'll be able to sail through the turbulent times ahead with the best chances of remaining healthy and active right through the entire year.
