There is no doubt about it. The Ketogenic diet (fondly termed Keto for short) is a health and wellness trend in 2019 that isn’t slowing down any time soon. The Ketogenic diet is a low-carb, high-fat diet that places emphasis on burning ketones as fuel rather than glucose. This popular diet has set many health trends that will continue in 2019 including keto coffee and MCT oil.
Perhaps a growing awareness about brain health is responsible for this continuing 2019 health and wellness trend as science continues to reveal the detrimental effects of sugar on our brains.
2. Superfoods and Clean Eating
Millennials are hunting for superfoods as another health and wellness trend in 2019 because they provide the quickest and most effective boost of essential vitamins, minerals, and general nutrition. Some examples of popular superfoods include matcha green tea, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds (pepitas), spirulina, turmeric, maca, and shilajit.
Gwenneth Paltrow’s latest cookbook, The Clean Plate, has fueled further interest in the 2019 health and wellness trend of “clean eating”. Her cookbook releases on January 8th, 2019.
The New York Times best-selling book, The Whole30, asks participants to commit to going clean in their diet for just 30 days, eliminating many high-inflammatory foods including sugar and dairy. According to multiple Whole30 success stories, people often experience such incredible benefits from eating the Whole30 way that they never look back. These are just several examples of popular cookbooks and diet plans that incorporate “clean eating” concepts.
