Health trends for 2017

Want to know what this year will hold for the health and wellbeing sector? Read on!

Last year, everyone was talking about kale and chia seeds, but 2017 is set to see the emergence of even more healthy lifestyle trends. Here are a few you’re bound to hear about soon….

Magnesium

We’re all definitely getting better at knowing what sort of vitamins we need in our diet, but minerals often get forgotten about. Not this year though! One of the most important minerals for the normal function of our bodies is magnesium and supplements, oils and sprays showcasing this miracle nutrient are set to be big in 2017. As well as helping boost bone integrity and strength, stave off heart disease and period pain, it also relaxes the nervous system and helps you achieve better sleep. Want to up your levels? Try one of BetterYou’s specially developed products. Including Magnesium Flakes (for that ultimate relaxing bath), MagnesiumOil Goodnight (which also includes chamomile, bergamot and clary sage to soothe the senses) and Magnesium Body Lotion, BetterYou’s range is based on the idea that supplementing magnesium through the skin is not only faster than traditional digestive methods, it’s also incredibly easy to do.

Menstrual realness

Forget hiding in your bed when that time of the month comes calling. This year, women will be encouraged to embrace menstruation and look at natural ways of dealing with it. If you’re looking for an alternative to tampons and sanitary pads that is both good for the environment and good for your body, try Feminesse Menstrual Cups. Some sanitary products absorb your period alongside vaginal fluid, which can leave your body feeling dry and irritated. Menstrual cups, on the other hand, are worn internally like a tampon and collect the fluid, rather than absorb it. This means that the cups help your body maintain its natural pH. Thanks to its design, it is an ideal menstrual aid for all day-to-day usage, and you don’t have to worry about leaks whether you’re travelling, engaging in sports or sitting at your desk. Plus, they’re reusable, saving you money and time and helping the environment! Win win!

Beauty from within

Looking and feeling great isn’t just about slathering beauty products on your face anymore. We’re also now becoming more and more educated about how what we put in our body can have an impact on our appearance. And, if you’re looking for a supplement that can help turn back the clock, Skinade’s natural collagen supplement could be just what you need.
As we age, our collagen production slows down which can affects the appearance of our skin, but by supplementing your diet with Skinade you could help boost levels and revitalise a tired and lacklustre complexion. As a drink, Skinade is highly bio-available, meaning that an amazing 90 to 95 percent of the precious ingredients are absorbed into the bloodstream, where they will help nourish and support the skin from within. Taken daily, it will enhance your daily skincare routine and help promote normal skin function. For more information click here.

Ashwagandha

Natural ways to destress and reduce anxiety are set to be just as popular in 2017 as they were last year and herbs such as ashwagandha are in for a revival. Known as ‘Indian ginseng,’ ashwagandha is a highly valued herb in Ayurveda and can dramatically reduce the negative effects of stress, particularly within the brain and nervous system. Ayurveda considers ashwagandha to be the best herb for balancing the vata dosha, the principle that governs all movement in the body, including all nerve impulses. Try Maharishi Ayurveda Peace of Mind tablets (MA 1401) to help nourish the mind-body connection for a calmer response to stressful situations and to assist in all mental activities: energy, creativity, perception, consciousness, self realisation and memory.
