The Values Institute, a social science market research think tank, expects veganism to be one of the top five health and wellness trends in 2013. They report that "last year’s rise of the flexitarians is foreshadowing a trend toward meatle...ss eating and outright veganism, vegetarianism’s older brother.... Even professional athletes like Venus Williams and Arian Foster, whose bodies are their livelihood, have made the switch.... Look for herbivore-accommodating menus at restaurants on both coasts to start migrating to mid-America in 2013." Other top trends they identify are increasing consciousness about wasting food, workplace wellness programs, eating more and smaller "mini-meals" and healthy snacking, and increasing gluten-free options.
A one-day Festival of Health & Wellness will be held at the Carriage House Inn on March 10, Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
This event offers over 60 exhibitor booths, eight wellness workshops that will help consumers achieve success in various areas of wellness that they would like to explore.
Organizer Jacki McLenaghan of Pure Potentials promises it will be a fun, informative and unique conference that takes a celebratory yet practical look at overall health and well-being.
“The day is designed to stimulate the brain and delight the senses,” she said.
The cost is $15, includes admission and all workshops. There are also prizes, goodie bags, samples and more.
