Wellness Trends you need to know about in 2022  | Wellness

The world is constantly evolving and there are always new ways to improve our lives. Discover the newest trends across the wellness world so you can achieve your best self this year.

 

EMPHASIS ON SLEEP

This is the year where we start taking our sleeping hygiene seriously.  Lack of sleep can make us more vulnerable to Alzheimer’s disease, mental and emotional instability, and poor decision-making. As part of ensuring we get quality sleep, we’ll see a rise in magnesium-rich foods (nature’s Xanax) along with supplements that support both our physical and mental well-being.

 

SEXUAL WELLNESS: ACCESSIBLE SEXUAL WELLNESS & OPENNESS ABOUT MENOPAUSE

 Sexual wellness will continue to become a more and more visible part of holistic mental and physical health as we start to find these products where we shop for beauty. Besides the conversation about menopause will open up even more in 2022 and with the UK leading the movement. Gladly it’s no longer about shame or stigma.

 

MUSHROOMS

As we look to new wellness trends in 2022, we expect consumption of medicinal mushrooms to rise as people both become more attuned to how their physical health shapes their mental health and look to how we can use food as medicine. Medicinal mushrooms like lion’s mane help reduce neuro-inflammation, which can result in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and mood disorders like depression, anxiety, brain fog, and poor sleep.

 

FULL-BODY APPROACH TO WELLNESS

After two years of isolation, people have started to really lean into their health and how they are taking care of themselves. While fad and quick-fix diets will always be a thing, many are changing these methods for a more sustainable, wholesome path. Now more than ever, people are looking for weight loss and healthy lifestyle approaches that put wellness at the forefront. The full-body approach, including mind, body, and soul, digs deeper into the ‘why’ behind it all and leads to making stronger connections between your health and your habits.

CREATING A SANCTUARY WITHIN

How can we feel good in our daily lives? By creating sanctuaries and spaces of comfort in our homes. Last year, a big theme was decluttering and minimalism. While that will continue, I also believe that people will be intentional about how they bring healing and joy into their spaces and having a soothing home environment.

 

FITNESS –  INTUITIVE MOVEMENT, MICRO WORKOUTS AND BACK TO THE BASICS

Intuitive movement and mental health–based exercise regimens are becoming increasingly popular. Working out is shifting from being a way to obtain a specific body type into something that fuels our mental health and wellness. Plus, there is the rise of ‘snackable’ or ‘micro’ workouts, which we love! We are also seeing a lot in the industry revolving around bodyweight training. It’s a sort of back-to-basics trend that makes exercise more accessible to everyone.
