1. Eating for the planet health/sustainably

Sustainability takes center stage in dietary choices as people become increasingly aware of the impact of their food choices on the planet. More than just a personal choice, the emphasis on plant-based diets, local sourcing, limited packaging, and mindful consumption will intensify, aligning with the global movement toward reducing environmental impact through dietary choices.

2. Personalized Nutrition Plans 

Gone are the days when you would subscribe to a generic weight loss diet that left you feeling discouraged and most often hungry. In 2024, there will be a continued trend of personalized health plans. Taking into account individual genetics, lifestyle regiments, and preferences. This shift towards tailored approaches aims to optimize nutrition, exercise, and overall lifestyle choices, acknowledging that one size doesn't fit all when it comes to well-being.

In catering to specific needs, one can benefit by getting in touch with a wellness practitioner  to guide you along the way. Fortunately, Coco Market has recently gained an in-house nutritionist! Melissa Cosentino, is a Certified Nutritional Practitioner and is the founder of MellyFit Nutrition. Her mission is helping individuals carve out their unique and individual path to a FIT body, mind and soul.

3. Cold Water Exposure Therapy 

Cold water exposure is known for its potential health benefits such as improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and enhanced mood. Although this is already popular amongst athletes, we predict that in 2024 it will gain substantial traction and become integrated into mainstream wellness routines.  Techniques like cold water immersion, ice plunges, cryotherapy, and cold showers will be explored for their ability to boost immune function and mental resilience.

4. Utilizing AI technology 

Being proactive with your health has, and will only continue to be, the norm for years to come. And with Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology advancing at a rate like never before, it is set to revolutionize the healthcare landscape in 2024. From predictive analytics for disease prevention to personalized treatment plans, AI-powered tools will continue to play a pivotal role in transforming how we approach healthcare. Advanced algorithms will analyze vast amounts of health data to offer precise diagnoses, optimize treatment strategies, and even predict potential health issues before they arise. Expect AI-powered health apps and devices that analyze individual health data to offer personalized insights, aiding in early detection of health issues and enhancing overall wellness management.

5. Hot girl runs → Hot girl walks 

LOW IMPACT MOVEMENT! Say it with me! While high-intensity workouts have long been in the spotlight, the trend is veering towards a more balanced and sustainable approach. "Hot girl runs" are giving way to "hot girl walks," emphasizing the benefits of leisurely walks, mindful movement, and low-impact exercises for your mind, body, and soul. With a focus on recovery, and improved longevity, walking is the most consistent exercise that will stay with us as we age.  

In the midst of these evolving trends, it's crucial to remember that individual health journeys vary, and what works for one may not necessarily work for another. While embracing these emerging trends, it's important to prioritize your own goals and well-being.

7. IV Therapy and Vitamin Drip 

Whether you’re suffering from a hangover, fatigue, or sickness - changes are there’s IV therapy for that. This trend stems from the increasing desire for quick, efficient, and targeted delivery of essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream. IV therapy offers a direct infusion of vitamins, minerals, and hydration, bypassing the digestive system for rapid absorption. As individuals seek immediate boosts in energy, immunity, and overall well-being, the allure of IV vitamin drips becomes prominent, catering to those looking for swift revitalization and a holistic approach to health maintenance in a fast-paced world.Favored among celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Chrissy teigen, and Simon Cowell, the intravenous treatments have become more prevalent than ever before, and we predict it will only grow in 2024.  

8. Tongue Scraping 

In the health and wellness trends of 2024, the ancient Ayurvedic practice of tongue scraping is poised to take center stage. This simple yet powerful ritual involves using a tongue scraper to gently remove bacteria, toxins, and residue accumulated on the tongue's surface overnight. With a growing emphasis on holistic well-being and preventive health practices, tongue scraping is gaining traction for its potential benefits beyond oral hygiene. Advocates suggest that this practice not only promotes fresher breath and oral health but also aids in digestion by stimulating the taste buds and removing buildup associated with bacteria and toxins. As people seek natural and accessible methods to support their overall wellness, the revival of tongue scraping emerges as a simple yet impactful addition to daily self-care routines, aligning with the broader movement toward ancient holistic practices for modern health benefits.
