To help make this easier, we've developed seven new health trends that are popular now and make your life better in more ways than one. Whether you choose just one or all seven of these to add to your life, there's no doubt that you'll feel happier and healthier than ever before!
1) Meditate
Meditating is a great way to reduce stress, improve mood, increase creativity, and enhance productivity. The best part? It's free! Here are a few helpful tips to get started: Find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed. Sit comfortably with your back straight. Close your eyes and clear your mind of any thoughts or distractions.
Focus on one thing, and then when the timer goes off, take deep breaths through your nose for five seconds and out through your mouth for five seconds. You can also try an app like Headspace or Calm for guided meditation sessions if you're having trouble finding peace alone.
2) Eat Organic
Organic food is produced by farmers who emphasize using renewable resources and conserving soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations.
Organic produce is grown without conventional pesticides; fertilizers are made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge, bioengineering, or ionizing radiation. Organic meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products come from animals without antibiotics or growth hormones.
3) Consume Probiotics
Consuming probiotics is one of the newest health trends that can make you happier and healthier. Probiotics are live bacteria that are good for your digestive system.
A healthy digestive tract is essential for a healthy immune system, which helps you feel better mentally and physically. So, start taking probiotics to improve your health!
4) Shake Up Your Protein
If you're looking for a way to shake up your protein, I recommend swapping a classic chicken breast for something different, like turkey bacon, tempeh, or edamame.
These new proteins are high in protein and low in fat, which will help keep you feeling fuller longer.
5) Sleep At Least Seven Hours a Night
Research has shown that many adults need at least seven hours of sleep daily but often don't get it. Shortchanging your sleep can lead to problems like chronic fatigue, obesity, diabetes, depression, memory impairment, and an increased risk of heart disease.
Sleep deprivation also affects your immune system by increasing cortisol levels (a stress hormone), weakening the immune system. To combat this problem, ensure you take care of your body before bed by not eating or drinking too late. Additionally, try to exercise throughout the day so that you're physically tired when it's time for bed.
6) Add More Plants to Your Diet
Eating more plants is a great way to improve your health. Plants provide your body's nutrients for energy, vitality, mood stabilization, detoxification, weight management, and much more.
Increasing the number of plants in your diet can also help make you happier! Studies show that people who eat a diet rich in vegetables have increased levels of serotonin-a neurotransmitter that affects mood and happiness.
7) Drink Kombucha
Kombucha is a fermented drink that has been around for more than 2,000 years. Kombucha is made by fermenting a sweetened tea using a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast.
It can be brewed at home or bought at your local grocery store. It's high in probiotics which help with digestion and mental health issues like anxiety and depression.
