As 2014 draws to a close, there’s no better time to reflect on various ‘health fads’ from the year that was.

2014 was a weird, wacky and wonderful year of health trends ranging from “pop-diets” and the gluten-free craze, through to the advent of ‘food activating’. One thing is certain: all are big business.

Team VIVA! Found the top ‘fads’ of 2014 were:

  • Tough Mudder and similar super-duper obstacle and fitness challenges
  • Food activation
  • Going gluten-free
  • Pop-dieting
  • Wearable technology
  • Green drinks

Wishing you a happy, healthy and safe 2015 from all of us at GLOBALHealthPR!
