I went to lunch with my daughter this weekend and had the most delicious salad of baby kale, juicy strawberries and walnuts. As I was enjoying my healthy lunch, I remarked, “I’ve loved kale since I was a little girl when it was used primarily as a garnish. Other people pushed the garnish aside, but I ate it first and wanted more.” She thought this was strange, not that I liked kale, but that it was not a primary food. It’s only relatively recently that kale was promoted from its lowly status as a decorative food object to a superfood that is often the star of breakfast, lunch and dinner. As for fitness, when was the last time you signed up for step class, hopped onto your Gravity Rider or exercised to a Taebo video? Yeah, me too.
Just as there are trends in fashion and beauty, there are trends in food and fitness. What do the trends of 2014 tell us about what’s going to be hot (and not) in 2015? The folks behind the popular app, MyFitnessPal.com,compiled stats from their database of 75 million followers worldwide. They then created the following handy dandy infographic that illustrates trends in food and fitness. So what can you expect in 2015? Will Zumba retain its cult status among exercise aficionados or is there another Next Big Thing? Will kale continue to dominate dinner plates and breakfast smoothies or will we be getting our green on from a different cruciferous veggie? Check out the infographic below. It’s fun, it’s cute, it’s informative. Gotta love it.
