Holistic health and wellness is the practice of treating the whole person – mind, body, and spirit. Modern health-care tends to focus on treating specific (usually physical) symptoms. However, a more holistic approach to well-being looks to treat the root cause of our problems, as well as providing preventive practices.
In 2020, we didn’t take care of ourselves from a holistic health and wellness point of view – we couldn’t as our movements were restricted owing to the Covid-19 pandemic. However, with the economy opening up, slowly but surely, it’s now time for us to zone in on a little me time.
Here are some of the health and wellness trends that you should try.
The Rise Of Community Care
A big health and wellness trend is a shift from self-care to community-care. The Covid 19 pandemic has exposed many of the systemic inequalities and flaws which are present in our society. As a result, we will start to recognise that we have a responsibility to do something within our power to address these.
We’ll begin to see wellness being re-framed from something which is ‘for me’ to seeing it positioned as something which is ‘for all.’
A growing awareness that assisting other people is actually the greatest pathway to happiness, as has been proven by scientific research, will emerge. People will prioritise giving back, donating their time and skills, as well as using their power in order to address systemic issues that are present in their own lives, workplaces and communities.
Holistic Health And Wellness From Home
2021 will be a year of caring for ourselves deeply. Owing to the COVID-19 outbreak, we are seeing people becoming more and more cognisant of their health as well as what they are able to do at home in order to support their own wellness. This means :
- Deeper self-care,
- More intuitive health and wellness,
- Fitness from home,
- Additional homemade products (everything from meals to teas as well as beauty products), as well as
- Creating spaces in the home which support healing and happiness.
Mindful Eating
There will be a continual rise of mindful and intuitive eating. Individuals will continue to turn away from restrictive diets, especially those which completely demonise a certain macronutrient, such as carbohydrates.
There will be an increase in people who embrace food in all its forms through the trend of upcycling food. This means that ugly vegetables and wasted food scraps may be turned into meals and snacks. It is a step towards a healthier, more sustainable in addition to a more conscious future.
2021 is taking self-care to a whole new level. You’ll notice that each health and wellness trend that we’ve discussed in this article is beneficial for the whole body, inside and out. People gravitate toward wellness which benefits them on a personal level.
