The health and wellness industry generates numerous new and innovative ideas every year— from physical fitness to sleep and meditation tools. The industry is exploring what it means to prioritize physical and mental health. According to the Global Wellness Institute, the global wellness economy earns trillions of dollars each year.
Let’s explore the health trends that are creating conversations around the world.
Health & Wellness Coaching
Professional wellness coaches are becoming increasingly popular in western cultures as today’s busy consumers look for help navigating their health journeys. The purpose of a health and wellness coach is to help their clients develop realistic and sustainable practices — designed to improve their overall physical health.
These coaches work with their clients to identify their strengths and create long-term wellness plans that will change critical aspects of their lifestyle — from eating habits to physical exercise.
Meditation Practices
Meditation practices have been around for centuries in various cultures. In recent years, these practices have reached a truly global audience. Meditation is finding its way into homes, schools, and modern technology.
The practice of meditation can mean several things, depending on the culture’s take — yoga is a common practice in countries worldwide. In contrast, for religious groups, meditation is often linked to prayer. Meditation is tied with spirituality and awareness — as our societies become busier and harder to manage, many turn to meditation to centre themselves and find mindfulness.
CBD Consumption
One of the 100+ chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant is cannabidiol — also known as CBD. Its properties are non-psychoactive, meaning consumers do not experience a high as they would with the plant’s THC properties. The use of CBD in mainstream culture is growing rapidly, particularly as it becomes legal for recreational use in countries worldwide.
The market for CBD products is expanding with a variety of creative flavours and practical uses — from edibles from Olli Brands to CBD-infused herbal teas or topical creams. Its therapeutic properties have been promised to increase circulation, improve sleep, regulate moods, and boost serotonin. As the global economy recognizes CBD and recreational cannabis, the industry itself will likely see a rise in interest and research, so novice users have all of the information they need to decide if CBD will benefit their physical and mental wellbeing.
Health Initiatives for Children
The mental and physical well-being of today’s children is a prime example of global health concerns. In countries worldwide, the safety and health of children are a cornerstone for conversation and initiatives.
Research is a crucial component of this global health conversation — with proper education and resources, governments and charities can make the best decisions for their children. In many countries, education-based food campaigns are being implemented to help children develop positive relationships with healthy foods. In some countries, they’re prioritizing medication and food supply to help underdeveloped children grow their strength. The global conversation isn’t a monolith — however, the health and safety of today’s children is a priority that is sparking ongoing talks and leadership.
