The fitness world is geared up like never before as fitness and wellbeing take centre stage across the globe. From juice diets to tech gear, from chia seeds and quinoa to HIIT and MMA, from fitness holidays to meditation and ayurveda, today more and more people are concerned about what they put into their bodies, how they live and the choices they make about work life balance. I have been reading a lot about wellness trends for 2016 and have put together a list that you may find interesting: Fresh farm fruits and vegetables: For those who love fruits juices and smoothies, there’s something called the Juicero which will soon be launching in the international markets. It won’t come cheap and is expected to launch by mid 2016. Meanwhile, don’t wait around, but go right ahead enjoy the season’s freshest vegetables and fruit juices. Right clothing: The right fitness gear for your choice of workout is important and leading brands are consistently working towards offering you the best in specialised clothes and footwear for different activities. Brands know that health and wellness do not just start and stop in that hour at the gym; it goes beyond in what you wear. Eat consciously: You don’t go to a yoga class and then head to your favourite momo or burger joint afterwards. At that time, you probably crave for a good vegetarian meal, a glass of fresh juice or a cup of warm green tea. Just tune into your body and understand what you are putting into it. Journal what you eat if you are a mindless or binge eater. Besides noting what you eat, also write down why you ate and what your thoughts were at that time. Main meal times should be special. Eat in a peaceful environment and savour your meal. Music and sound: There is an incredible amount of research that sound has the ability to influence and alter our emotions. Music can help us achieve deep mental and physical relaxation decreasing our stress response. Meditative, beautiful music can be a very intimate yet universally connecting experience. Travel: People are now going on fitness holidays, relaxation retreats and wellness breaks. Hotels offer hi-tech gyms, juice and smoothie bars, yoga and meditation studios, spas and massage therapies for the fitness enthusiast in you. Home: A home is a sanctuary in the truest sense and must bring a spark of joy to your life. Discard things you no longer need. Keep your home space clean and orderly, its reflective of who you are in the inside. Decluttering can help you refocus and find the few things that matter the most to you and which you can make a larger part of your life. You should work towards and deserve a home that is beautiful, warm, welcoming and reflective of who you are. Exercise: Organised exercise is becoming a huge part of our lives. Try to stay active as much as you can but it will not replace having the 30 minutes to an hour at the gym focused on a workout that pushes you towards strength and fitness. There are an incredible number of options out there to cater to different types of personalities. Personal training is on the rise as more people find value in connecting with a professional trainer and working towards short and long term goals that are customised to your specific body and needs. Alternative healing: Before you pop that next painkiller or buy a strip of over the counter antibiotics, think if you really need it. Understand first why you are popping a pill and what it does to you. You are decreasing your resistance even as you abuse your body and put it trough unnecessary side effects of pill popping. Try home remedies for minor ailments. Also explore the world of alternative medicine and healing should the need arise. I suggest that you go for a massage regularly, try a detox diet every 15 days, drink water consciously and meditate for a few minutes every day to contribute to your sense of well being.
