Crazes In The Market Of Health

By Connor Sullivan

Constantly new crazes become popular surrounding individuals' eating habits and recently discovered edible solutions. A newer trend among in the realm of healthy eating is only eating raw food. Individuals who are on a raw food diet do not eat products that are processed or cooked, and usually choose to buy organic foods. This trend is quite popular among individuals who already have decided to be vegetarian or vegan and many people see it as a choice for personal wellness. Along with this, there are numerous other trends surrounding healthy living that have become popular lately. Lately there has been a lot of focus on choosing natural options for chemical substitues. 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 started becoming a very common ingredient in a variety of commercial 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. Now it is being used for weight loss and became very popular quite quickly.

When specifically discussing trends on dietary habits, 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. Choosing to purchase only organic foods, 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 become more popular especially in regards to the issue of child obesity is technology based fitness activities. With the creation of interactive video games that require the player to get up and move, fitness games have been very successful. This also has allowed video game companies to reach new consumer types 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, but they still seem to sell in large numbers 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. A lot of individuals are more motivated to work out by videos and classes that involve cardio workouts put to music and using dance steps. Similarly to incorporating 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 somewhat outdated types of fitness. - 17274
