'Clean Eating' Dominates Health Trends in 2018
Whether at the mall or the local market, we can find a plethora of clean foods or health foods available for purchase. This surge is due to the health trend that has gained immense popularity over the past 1-2 years, leading to rapid growth in health-related businesses.
As we approach the end of 2018, let's take a look at the clean eating trend and what healthy options our health-conscious friends are enjoying, so we don't fall behind. Importantly, these choices can help transform our bodies both inside and out.
What is Clean Eating in 2018?
In the early days of clean eating, the meals often consisted of simple ingredients like boiled chicken breast, egg whites, beans, and various vegetables. Initially, it was fine, but after a while, the bland taste became tiresome, and people craved new dishes.
The definition of clean eating has evolved to better align with the lifestyles of today's individuals, leading to the creation of diverse and flavorful clean recipes, allowing health enthusiasts to enjoy their meals without guilt.
So, let's explore what new clean eating options are available in 2018 for health lovers.
Avocado Oil
Avocado oil has become popular due to its high nutritional value and lower cost compared to olive oil, which is also used in clean cooking. However, avocado oil is preferred because it is odorless, appealing to those who dislike the smell of olive oil.
Avocado oil is rich in Omega 9 fatty acids and vitamin E, which help lower cholesterol levels, improve blood circulation, and are beneficial for hair and skin health.
Greek Yogurt
Greek yogurt is a low-fat yogurt that is high in protein and contains minerals like calcium and potassium, which help repair body tissues and strengthen bones and teeth.
Greek yogurt has a thicker consistency than regular yogurt and contains less sugar. You can enjoy it plain or blend it into a smoothie with oats or berries as you prefer.
New Salad Dressings
Salads are a staple for health enthusiasts, as everyone knows that vegetables and fruits are beneficial, packed with vitamins and minerals, and won't make you gain weight (if chosen wisely, of course!).
Salad dressings are another crucial component that enhances the flavor of salads. Nowadays, many new salad dressings have been created to make salads more exciting, such as Thousand Island dressing, Caesar dressing, balsamic dressing, and many more that will make your vegetables and fruits more appetizing.
Clean Bakery
Eating only vegetables every day can be tough; our bodies crave carbs and sugar. We sometimes want to indulge in baked goods, but these treats are often loaded with flour and sugar, making them non-compliant with clean eating. Many clean eaters have had to forgo baked goods, which is a shame because they are so delicious.
However, in the era of clean eating in 2018, we finally have clean baked goods available for us to enjoy without guilt. These baked goods are made from whole grain flour, nuts, tofu, or various vegetables, and I can assure you that they taste just as good as regular baked goods, though they may be a bit pricier.
Culture Meat
Culture meat is a new food trend that involves cultivating stem cells from living animal muscle to multiply and grow into edible animal muscle.
This cultivation method not only results in safer meat but also helps reduce pollution from livestock farming and minimizes environmental impacts.
