Why You Should Skip Most Health Trends

Why You Should Skip Most Health Trends

Health trends — specific superfoods, restrictive diets, miracle supplements — cycle every few years. Most don't survive the next decade. Sticking with proven basics (Mediterranean pattern, whole foods, adequate protein, vegetables) outperforms chasing trends.

Recent fad examples

Acai bowls (gone). Bulletproof coffee (peaked). Celery juice (passed). Specific supplement trends. Each promised health transformation; most delivered nothing measurable.

What persists

Mediterranean eating pattern. Adequate sleep. Movement. Vegetables. Real food. These survive every trend cycle because they actually work.
