Healthy eating is becoming more and more popular every year. This leads to the emergence of new nutrition trends that are gaining popularity, says Ukrainian nutritionist Olena Kostiuk.

Plant-based diet

This includes eating less meat and more vegetables and legumes.

According to the experts, such a diet will maintain heart health and reduce the risk of diabetes and obesity.

You should start with 1-2 days a week without meat, replacing it with lentils, chickpeas, or tofu.

Food "for you"

This includes a personalized diet based on tests and genetics.

In today's world, more and more people are looking for personalized approaches to nutrition. Thanks to DNA testing and microbiota analysis, it is possible to create individualized nutrition plans that take into account genetic characteristics, metabolism, and other factors.

Your food will be tailored to your body's specific needs - allergies, sugar levels, and hormones.

Intuitive eating

If you choose this type of diet, you should eat only when you are hungry and stop when you are full.

This is very beneficial for the body, because in this way you listen to your body, and avoid overeating and emotional eating.

You should eat slowly, without gadgets, and record your hunger and satiety.

Flexitarianism

Flexitarians are people who do not exclude any specific food groups from their diet. Instead, they base their diet on plant-based foods and only occasionally eat meat and seafood, milk, and eggs.

Mostly plant-based, but sometimes meat and fish. This will be a trend because it is a balance between health benefits and love of the taste of meat. It is worth adding meat only to main dishes, and making snacks vegetarian.
