Four Health and Wellness Trends to Know in 2020

The health and wellbeing industry has really taken off throughout the first two decades of the twenty-first century and it continues to grow exponentially. With all the buzzes, whirls, excitements of new technology, medicines, fitness techniques, and the like, we are split on how to improve not only our bodies but also, our minds. This article will outline all the latest trendy tips and tricks we ought to pay attention to this year. 

Medical Marijuana Mania 

Since the 1970’s, this controversial yet popular hemp plant has piqued our interests. We are continuing to delve into its uses in a medicinal sense but the non-active element (the CBD) is said to bring many healing benefits. It can alleviate pains, help with insomnia, glaucoma, epilepsy, and perhaps even PTSD.  More and more states are legalizing the use of medical marijuana and in Missouri, it was introduced in 2018. 

To obtain your medical marijuana card online you will need to have a consultation with a doctor, for example, via video chat and if they give you their approval you can begin the necessary state paperwork. You’ll have to prove your Missouri residency by presenting some kind of appropriate documentation. Then, there’s the application fee to be paid to the Missouri Medical Marijuana Authority for review. If successful you will receive instructions on how to access the system and get a digital copy of your card that you can then take to a dispensary. 

Fertility Fanaticism

Infertility was once a very hush hush, shameful and degrading experience for couples wanting to conceive. Yet, it is now no longer a taboo topic and we are now embracing and overcoming its hardships and challenges. New movement technology trackers mean that women can tap into their sleep patterns, cycles, skin temperature, stress levels and pulse rates in order to monitor the possibility of fertility. Moreover, research is ongoing to provide cheaper options so that it will be easier to explore family planning in the future. 

Mindfulness Magic

There’s yoga for the mommies, an array of therapeutic massages for the overdoers and even wellness sabbaticals for the stressed-out professionals. Then there’s meditation podcasts, apps for planning, recording sleep cycles, therapy, counselling etc. This generation that champions zen, encourages and focuses on mental health. Given that our lives are increasingly hectic, these soothing yet meaningful and peaceful methods help us find our center. To switch off and disconnect from the madness of everyday life is as vital as it is pleasurable. 

The Circadian Cycle

Our digital age is intrinsically linked with artificial intelligence. We now have limitless opportunities and possibilities at our fingertips. However, we cannot forget the artificial element of our technological advances as we rely heavily upon electronics and are often glued to our screens. This has meant that our routines can be off-kilter. This circadian trend sees a return to a more biologically and cyclically driven daily pattern. It calls for us to work by day with the natural light and switch off once it turns dark. To eat at the same points each day and establish routines for exercise and leisure. It’s really all about going back to basics and trusting in nature to power our systems.
