Longevity, the concept of living a longer and a healthier life, continues to be a hot and happening buzzword. Health is wealth and good health is becoming a status symbol. While 2024 was said to be the year to travel as a sports fan, thanks to the Olympics, 2025 it said to be the year we most likely want to travel as wanna-be athletes. According to trend forecaster and hospitality company Accor the search for active holidays has grown with 50%. There is an huge desire to achieve personal health goals by adding sports with recreational intent into travel plans.
We all know that eating healthy and having an active lifestyle is a good way to keep us balanced and fit, while taking care of our inner beauty and health. Longevity comes down to this: aging better and trying to live for not only as long as we can, but as healthily as we can.
While taking care of our skin with miracle maintenance creams and skin boosting facials, we are seemingly in proces of a midset shift by consciously thinking about how we can remain healthy for as long as possible. Think customised supplements, strength training and brain health by for example adding probiotic kimchi and kefir to your diet. But also the mineral Iodine plays a huge rolls as it affects how fat and proteins are used in the body.
Forecasts also report that NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) a molecule found in living cells is gaining momentum this year. Unfortunately, just like collagen the production NAD+ drops as we age. Nicotinamide riboside is an alternative form of vitamin B3. These nutrients in supplements and in foods rich in vitamin B3 like beef, eggs, avocados and salmon. Also consider adding fermented foods and drinks like kombucha to your diet. It naturally contains NAD+ and helps to rebuild healthy cells. There are fans who believe taking NAD+ in supplement form could be big in 2025 as it helps to targets cellular aging at its roots. The National Institute of health says NAD+ plays a pivotal role in cellular metabolism and play key roles in pathways that modify aging.
According to the Osteopathic Center Hollywood A-listers are raving about the benefits of NAD+ injections. Celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston, Halle Berry, Hailey Bieber have publicly shared their experiences. Michelle Pfeiffer has added NAD+ into her wellness routine, aligning with her believe in natural beauty and healthy aging. Justin Bieber explored NAD+ therapy as part of his health regimen, particularly after facing health challenges like Lyme disease.
Whatever your health goal for this year is, eat healthy, exercise on a regular basis, try to get a good night sleep, focus on minimising stress and keep your mind as sharp as possible. Hopefully, thanks to this year’ s strong focus on health, we will all be walking around much longer, and feeling awesome while doing it.
Cheers to a Happy & Healthy 2025. xAmanda
