Wellness Trends for 2013

Here we are, in the New Year and it is time to put your health into main focus. Whether you have a resolution to lose weight or just feel better in your own body, these health trends can help.

Juicing
Juicing is one of the best things that you can do to do for your health. You can start your day with a fresh fruit smoothie or a vegetable juice. Take raw organic vegetables and put them into a juicer every morning. This helps you digest the proper food as well as get a good dose of vitamins and minerals.

Juice is a popular way to maintain a healthy body. Many restaurants are jumping on the juice wagon, you can get fresh juice anywhere from $5-$15 depending on what city you are in. But save your money, instead use your money to buy fresh vegetables and make your own juice at home. It will save money, time and you'll have more fresh juice.

Yoga
Yoga is not just a trend. It is not here today, gone tomorrow. Yoga is here to stay, with over 20 million women practicing the trend is growing. Many people experience health benefits with yoga, often reporting that yoga is a way to help them relieve body aches and pains.

If you experience back pains and aches, stomach cramps or even the headaches and dehydration yoga can help maintain a healthy body and help with these common body aliments. People who do yoga regularly have better posture, lower blood pressure and tend to feel more inner peace. The gentle movement can help you feel good in your body.

More Water
Drinking water is great for your body but bottled water is not so great for the environment. Buy a reusable bottle where you can refill the water often versus buying a plastic bottle that you will throw away after one use.

Drinking water can really help you feel better in your body and will help you lose weight. If losing weight is one of your health goals, drinking water can help. But in general, avoid bottles that are manufactured in a plant. Any bottle that is produced in a plastic bottle can be avoided.

Drinking water helps cleanse your internal system as well as keep your teeth clean. Naturally you'll feel better and you may have less cavities. Doctor Andrew Thompson, a dentist in Northwest Portland suggests carrying a reusable water bottle with you, to ensure you get enough water daily.
