What is trending this year for health and wellness?
Every year, new trends in weight loss, fitness and wellness capture our attention and become the next big thing to try. But results fall short and the weight returns, leaving us looking for proven solutions that work and have stood the test of time. In 2018, we can expect even more fitness, food and detox delivery programmes and virtual coaching online. The emphasis on healing fats as a mainstay of our diets will continue to gain momentum with the ever-popular Ketogenic diet and growing awareness of Omega oil sources. Intermittent fasting which focuses on when you eat rather than cutting calories is popular for increasing energy and sustaining weight loss. We teach our clients about the latest trends and enduring wisdom during our retreats so that you are able to make good choices for products and services at home after attending our programme.(more…)
