The Leading Health Trends that we think will prevail in 2021

From milks made from just about anything to online medical appointments to P.E lessons via YouTube, this year has seen many a movement make its way onto the scene – whether Covid-inspired or not. New diet trends and ways to manage our physical and mental health are constantly coming into the spotlight, whether encouraged by medical professionals, due to changes in legal restrictions or simply as part of a craze that many are cottoning onto. We take a look at some of the leading health trends that we think will prevail in 2021.

Introducing a flexitarian diet

Vegans, vegetarians, pescatarians – we’ve heard of these names to describe those who follow a restrictive diet, but what is a flexitarian? Well, it’s a bit of all of the above. Though not an entirely new trend, it’s certainly growing in popularity, mainly due to the rapid rise of veganism and the questions being brought to light about animal welfare and the environmental impact of consuming high amounts of meat and meat products. A flexitarian can be described as someone who enjoys a mainly plant-based diet but also incorporates meat, meat products and fish on occasion, with a less is more approach to meat. It offers the individual the option to set their own rules based on their health and is billed as being better for the environment (reducing one’s carbon footprint) but doesn’t require the person to exclude anything entirely from their diet.

It is certainly an easier option to make these days with big name supermarkets offering dedicated plant-based sections with branded foods on their shelves and more recipes in their consumer magazines. In just two years, from 2018 to 2020, plant-based ready meals in supermarkets have jumped from 3% to 16% making it far easier for those who want to incorporate the flexitarian diet.
