Current Trends
When it comes to health and wellness, the industry is awash with buzzwords and trendy jargon. It can be overwhelming and difficult to know where to start, especially when trying to make realistic changes. Here at FighterFITX, we've got you covered with everything you need to know about the current trends in health and wellness.
Superfoods: Let's start with one of the most popular trends in health and wellness, superfoods. These foods are packed with a variety of nutrients and health benefits, acting as a mini multivitamin for your body. At FighterFITX, we understand that the list of superfoods can be daunting, and that's why we've come up with some simple tips to incorporate them into your diet:
Start your day off with a superfood SMASH! Mix berries, yogurt or kefir, and a greens powder in a smoothie for a delicious and antioxidant-packed breakfast.
Snack on some avocado! This versatile fruit can be blended with cocoa powder, maple syrup, or honey and non-dairy milk for a creamy and anti-inflammatory pudding.
Swap out white or gold potatoes for sweet potatoes, a simple way to increase your nutrient density. Try our recipe for baked sweet potato fries with garlic and olive oil for a tasty and healthy side dish.
Shots, shots, shots! Superfood shots are an easy and convenient way to boost your immunity. Try our wellness shot recipe to jumpstart your day.
Mindful eating: With a million and one diets out there, it can be challenging to find one that works for you. Mindful eating is a different approach that focuses on being conscious and aware of your food. By savoring each bite and paying attention to how it makes you feel, you can develop a healthier relationship with food. At FighterFITX, we encourage you to try these tips to get started with mindful eating:
Listen to your body's hunger cues. Before eating, take a moment to imagine eating something savory. If your body responds, you may truly be hungry. But if you can only imagine something sweet, it may be a craving or a need for a boost of energy. Drink water instead.
Take your time and enjoy your food. Eating slowly and savoring each bite can increase your enjoyment and improve digestion. Take a few deep breaths before starting your meal to calm your mind and body.
Avoid distractions while eating. By staying present and focusing on your food, you can retrain your body to recognize eating as an essential part of your day.
Self-care: Self-care is all about taking time for yourself to do things that make you feel good. However, many people use the excuse of being too busy to prioritize self-care. At FighterFITX, we believe that self-care is essential for overall well-being, and we've come up with some simple tips to incorporate it into your daily routine:
Establish a morning routine. Instead of immediately checking your inbox, take a few moments to enjoy a cup of coffee, watch the sunrise, or meditate before diving into your day.
Set a daytime alarm. Remind yourself to take a break and do something that you often forget to do during the day, like standing up, going for a walk, drinking water, or getting some fresh air.
Take a bath instead of a quick shower. End your day with a relaxing bath infused with epsom salt and aromatic scents to help you unwind and destress.
At FighterFITX, we believe that incorporating these simple trends into your daily routine can help you achieve overall wellness and well-being. Start small and build up from there, and you'll be on your way to a healthier, happier life!
