Taking care of yourself includes the mind, body, and soul, no matter how busy you become. Read on to find out about the top health trends today!

1. Taking Wellness Sabbaticals

A wellness sabbatical is a break taken for rest and relaxation, or to experience new or different environments. The idea behind the “wellness” sabbatical is the idea that longer timeframes are necessary for well-being. Often when people take a break from work, they return to their old habits because they are not able to make lasting changes in their personal lives. A wellness sabbatical is more than just taking a break from work. It includes personal growth, mindfulness, and other aspects of wellness such as nutrition and fitness.

2. Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting is a dieting practice that involves alternating between periods of fasting and eating. The dieting practice, which can be done on a variety of schedules, has been gaining traction in the health space for its benefits. Some people choose to do it for religious reasons (Muslims fast for Ramadan, for example). Others use it as a way to eat healthier and manage body goals. Additionally, intermittent fasting is gaining ground among entrepreneurs and other workers who are looking to maximise their productivity through more efficient eating habits.

3. Telemedicine

Telemedicine is the use of a telecommunications technology to provide clinical healthcare, health advice, or mental health services to patients remotely. This is done either through live interactive video and audio feed or through store-and-forward interactions such as email and videoconferencing. More than ever, people are becoming more open to the idea of receiving medical care without stepping into a doctor’s office.

4. Self Care

Self care is watching out for your well-being - one of the absolute best ways to invest in your future. This can involve anything that nurtures you, and is a time to reconnect with yourself. Self care is important because it prevents us from feeling burnt out and helps us maintain our sanity in the world we live in today. It’s also a way for us to take good care of ourselves and our mental health by reducing stress levels.

5. IV Vitamin Therapy

Maybe you’ve heard about the latest celebrity trend…? IV Vitamin Therapy is said to help minimise stress, and decrease the risk of heart disease. Other benefits claimed include healthier skin and will improve your performance, increase your energy, prevent premature ageing and boost your immune system. It is also available on the Costa del Sol!
