What Are the Biggest Wellness Trends Right Now?
From protein coffee to cold plunges, wellness trends are everywhere right now. Some promise better energy, improved sleep or faster recovery. Others go viral on social media almost overnight. But just because something is trending doesn’t mean it belongs in your routine.
“Not every wellness trend is necessary, but some can support your health when used appropriately,” says Mehak Gandhi, MD, a primary care provider with Hartford HealthCare Medical Group. “The key is understanding what actually works and what fits into your routine.” So which wellness trends are actually worth trying? Here’s what to know.
1. Protein coffee and drinks: Adding protein to your morning coffee has gone mainstream. Starbucks now offers protein lattes and protein cold foam, while Dunkin’ has added protein milk that can be mixed into coffee, lattes and other drinks. “Protein can help with satiety and muscle maintenance, especially if you’re not getting enough through meals,” Dr. Gandhi says.
