Health And Beauty Trends For The New Decade
Holistic Health
The holistic health approach has been sought upon in ancient times. But as new inventions, people became focused on curative and specialized medicine. Over the past few years, though, holistic health has crept back to people’s awareness. The campaign for mental health awareness increased the promotion of holistic health as well. The balance between a healthy body and a healthy mind gave birth to the importance of overall health.
What is Holistic Health
Holistic health is a method that promotes a balance of wellness in mind, body, and soul. This approach focuses on the person as a whole and the relationship of external factors to one’s health. In MummyJene.com health articles category, I’ve shared tips on how to achieve holistic health.
Why Is Holistic Health A Trend?
According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, 90% of annual health care expenditures are for people with chronic and mental health conditions. This means that lifestyle diseases such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and types of cancers have adverse impacts on the economy and family finances. Thus, many individuals are now approaching life with holistic health to prevent lifestyle diseases. Health programs have also shifted in the promotion and information drive about a healthy lifestyle.
Green Beauty
Global warming has contributed to the revolutionary development of the beauty industry. Many companies committed to cut on carbon emission by changing packaging and adopting sustainable ingredients. This is the reason why it was dubbed as green beauty.

Read the label: Avoid beauty products with sodium lauryl, petroleum, parabens, and synthetic fragrances. These ingredients have been found by experts to cause health-related problems.
