When it comes to health and fitness trends, there seems to be a new one almost every day. But while trying new trends is a great way to increase your motivation, some of them can be harmful and should be avoided. Quite frankly, most of them are a waste of time. Here are three nutrition trends that you should try.

Big Breakfast

This past year has given us more time to cook and sit down and enjoy breakfast. Getting the proper nutrition post morning workout aids in recovery and can prevent calorie deficits, helping you make healthier choices throughout the day. Go ahead and enjoy that bowl of Greek-yogurt with muesli or a vegetable-loaded breakfast burrito.

Mushrooms

Mushrooms are everywhere these days. You can even find them in coffee! They’re packed with B vitamins, antioxidants, fiber, and vitamin D. They also have adaptogen properties which help your body deal with stressors, leading to improved cognition, immunity, and athletic endurance.

Enhanced Condiments

Forget ketchup and mustard—those condiments are so boring. Condiments should have health benefits and kimchi, gochujang, marmite, coconut aminos, harissa pasta, and lime pickle are the newest ones to try. Most of them use vegetable ingredients, fermentation, umami, heat, and herbs/spices that help promote digestion and gut health.
