Health Trends for 2023 That You Need To Know
- Replies 1
As another year draws to a close, we find ourselves looking ahead at the trends that will be coming our way in the next 12 months. And when it comes to health and wellness, there are some interesting predictions for what will be popular in 2023!
Speaking of wellness, making sure that your mind is in good shape is just as important as keeping your body fit – that's why mental health will be a major trend next year for Aussies!
Without further ado, here are some of the predicted emerging trends that health experts have predicted would be the 'hottest' health fads in the coming year.
Mind dieting
The first predicted health trend of 2023 is mind dieting, which involves getting the mind into shape by better understanding your eating patterns. This could help people come to terms with their unhealthy eating habits and adopt more sensible ideas about food.
In an interview, Nutritionist Lexi Crouch explained that people will focus on 'getting their mind in shape' more than ever before. She went on to say that extreme diets such as Keto and intermittent fasting were 'out of fashion'.
New hygge
Next on the list is the 'new hygge', a concept known as 'yăng shēng', meaning 'nourishing life', that has its roots in ancient China. According to Caitlin Armit, a Chinese medicine lecturer, yăng shēng means the same as the 'Chinese medicine equivalent of self-care'.
To put it simply, the 'new hygge' is all about a healthy, proactive approach to living and a caring perspective on self-care. It will encourage people to see health issues not as signs of problems, but rather as natural processes that need to be embraced as part of life.
There is also an emphasis on eating well, getting adequate rest, moving the body, dealing with emotions, and participating in exercises such as yoga and meditation that bring the body in sync, such as qi gong and tai chi.
Chronobiology
Meanwhile, the next trend predicts that people will focus on 'when they eat instead of what they eat' – a concept known as chronobiology.
According to Nutritionist Sophie Scott, there is evidence to suggest that when you eat is just as crucial as what you choose to eat. This could mean that the frequency and timing of meals affect the way your body uses the energy and nutrients you take in.
Mental CPR
The next health trend promises to help millions in their fight against mental disorders and illnesses. Mental 'CPR' is the perfect name for this next initiative, given the positive effects of healthy minds on the body and vice versa.
Mental health courses are predicted to become very popular as people start taking an active interest in their mental and emotional well-being. In light of increasing mental health concerns and the rise of tech addiction, people are taking more precautions to ensure that they're running at full capacity.
Plant-based food
Plant-based food will continue to be massive in 2023 as people continue to move away from animal products.
As Aussies start becoming more conscious about their health and the environment, food scientists are cooking up new hyper-realistic plant-based protein products, such as lab-grown meats.
Also, alternative kinds of milk have increased from just 6 per cent of barista-made coffees in Australia to nearly 25 per cent in the last four years, and the industry is expected to generate $10 billion by 2030.
Greenwashing
Even though there are some promising new directions in modern health trends, there are also some fads we should steer clear of or, at the very least, hope we won't see in the coming year.
Greenwashing is the deceptive marketing practice of claiming a product is more eco-friendly than it actually is to cash in on people's growing awareness of environmental issues.
In short, it's when companies try to profit by making themselves look good while actually not doing anything good. Yikes! Better watch out, then…
It is advised to do thorough research about products before committing to them. This includes looking for 'trustworthy endorsements on products such as the Energy Star Rating, B Corp Certification, GECA, Fair Trade International and Australian Certified Organic tags.

Eco-parenting
In the coming years, Australians are also predicted to focus more on living a sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle.
More and more Aussies are embracing eco-living approaches with their kids, showing a willingness to commit to social and environmental change for the sake of future generations.
