Wellness trends for 2016
Fitness
Greg Stark
Training expert and founder of Better Being
“If 2015 was the year for the high intensity functional training, I think 2016 will be the year people start talking more around the psychology of health and fitness. People by now have a fair idea of what it is they need to do, but they struggle with the ability to focus and apply those changes. You will see a boom of initiatives like our 8 Week Better You Challenge, which has all the elements for success and positive engagement with your health – autonomy, mastery and purpose.”

Wellness & Nutrition
Jacqueline Alwill
Nutritionist and director of The Brown Paper Bag
“In 2016 there will be an increasing focus on sleep health and means of obtaining it through nutrition, daily practice, mindfulness, meditation and movement. We’re a fast paced society, with an increasing stress load, lack of sleep and often with poor sleep hygiene which is effecting our overall health and well being. Given how much of our health is regained through restorative rest I believe it will be a primary focus in nutrition, health and wellness for the year ahead.”

Travel

“Having just celebrated its 50th year of independence, Singapore has gone from being a mere stopover to a modern Asian destination. Known as the Garden City, efforts to conserve natural heritage, establishing world-class gardens and rejuvenating urban parks and enlivening streetscapes have been a priority for the country. In addition, the island is a melting pot of cultures and races. As such, it is filled with an eclectic mix of food, culture and historical places to visit.”
