Hey everyone,
I've done some research into the top trends for 2009 in the diet, fitness, and health general categories and I thought I'd share. You may get some ideas for affiliate promotion or even product creation from the list. Food Trends Value and Home Cooking Whole foods (rather than processed foods) Functional Foods Gut Health – Biotics for the gut Smaller Portions Local and Sustainable Food sources Sustainable Seafood Energy & Health Drinks Artesian Liquor Beer is the new wine Healthy Kids Meals at restaurants and frozen food aisles Pure, natural and health-boosting toddler foods New Cuts of Meat Anything chocolate (a small pleasure in response to the economic meltdown) Locale based diets (ie. South Beach Diet, French Women Don’t Get Fat) Asian Noodles and Soups Gluten Free Products Cactus Peruvian Foods Ginger Eating for health as a goal rather than specifically targeting weight loss Anticipated Diet Books/Diet Trends Lunchbox Diet Engine 2 Diet Your Big Fat Boyfriend Beck Diet Solution: Train Your Brain to Think Like a Thin Person The Whole-Food Guide to Strong Bones: A Holistic Approach Stop Prediabetes Now: The Ultimate Plan to Lose Weight and Prevent Diabetes Real Food for Mother and Baby: The Fertility Diet, Eating for Two, and Baby's First Food What Is Life?: Investigating the Nature of Life in the Age of Synthetic Biology Fitness Trends Zumba Online Personal Trainer Kettleballs Exergaming (as started by Wii Fit) iPod based workouts Budget Friendly Workouts Bootcamp Style Workouts Circuit Training Boomer Fitness A return to sports like volleyball Special programs for identifiable groups (children, boomers) Community approaches to weight loss Health Related Trends Whole Health Healing Regenerative Medicine Colin Cleanse gains even more steam Patient Record Computerization Cosmetic Surgery for Teens including breast reduction for boys Body sculption (whole body liposuction) Effects of pregnancy nutrition on childhood obesity Personal Responsibility The wellness (as opposed to curative) industry Employers intervening in health decisions due to rising health insurance costs But, word to the wise... We will continue to get fatter – 75 percent of American adults are projected to be overweight in 2015 Hope that helps someone on this first day of 2009. Stacy |

Firing smokers? Not hiring people because of their weight? Limiting what kind of foods you can eat during your lunch breaks? What exactly does intervening in an employee's health decisions really entail? | |

A recent article I believe based out of the state of Alabama stated that they were looking into charging $25 per mth/year? for those who were overweight. So that could be the employers intervening on health related issues due to higher costs of health care.

oh I forget to mention one of the biggies was corporate wellness/corporate fitness programs that were on the increase ...this also ties into fitness bootcamp workouts as we in the fitness industry are running corporate fitness bootcamp programs...as part of the corp wellness prog...bootcamps are extremely hot right now with ecomonmy and the fact that they work
as far as getting results,adding community atmosphere and fun As you can tell I love them...and I have been running them for last few years..definately add corporate wellness to that list ! |

I would question how legal it is, though. Isn't that some sort of discrimination? I guess their legal dept will figure a workaround. Sylvia PS: Stacy... Thanks for that terrific list.

I started trend watching in High School when I read "The Popcorn Report." I love the Toefflers for deep stuff and read 4-5 books a year on current trends. Trend watching is a hobby of mine, so I thought I'd share. Stacy | |

Are you familiar with DNA based nutritional supplements. You send a sample of your dna to genewize, and they evaluate your dna profile to see what vitimins and various nutrients you are lacking, and build a customized vitiman supplement specifically for you. If you'd like more info ya'll can go mygenewize.com/kibbys

So everyone would be charged the same rate but if you don't smoke they would discount your premium x% and if you were in the appropriate weight category they would give you an additional x% in discounts. Same as credit cards - you can't charge your customers a service fee for using their credit card (its against the merchant account TOS) but you can offer a discount if someone pays with cash. | |
