Vegan and vegetarians across the globe have different reasons for eating the way that they do. For some, it’s to help combat the devastating destruction to the planet caused by the meat industry. Good news for the eco-friendly folks this year. The wildly-popular Keto diet is being veganized and vegetarianized this year. You’ll find more people adopting a plant-based version of the diet because they want to do good by Mother Earth.

2. Reiki Energy Facials.

Crystal healing is something that has been trending for quite some time. 2019 is the year for Reiki energy facials. Yes, you read that right! Your skin is getting its own energy healing from certified Reiki masters. Healing inflammatory issues and break-outs has taken on a whole new meaning thanks to this trend which has been embraced in the United Kingdom and is gaining momentum in the States.

3. Immersion Fitness at Home.

Enjoying the benefits of personal training without the need to leave the house sounds delightful, right? Think of how much time you’ll save each week by not needing to drive to the gym to get in an intense workout. Thanks to immersion fitness, you receive the same heart-pounding, fat-burning instruction you’d receive in person from a personal trainer but virtually.

4. Ayurveda

The ancient medical system of India has received glowing praise in recent years by health gurus. You’ll hear a lot more about it this year thanks to author Sahara Rose who brings its teachings to a wider audience with her book, Eat Feel Fresh, an instruction guide meets cookbook with beautiful photographs and a really cool vibe.

5. Wellness Products in Mainstream Drugstores.

Rather than just focus on curing symptoms, drugstores around the country are now carrying products that prevent illnesses in the first place.
