Five Wellness Trends to Ditch in 2023

In 2022, social media inspired many of the ways we tried to get and stay healthy---but not always

for the better. Here are five wellness trends you'd be better off ditching in 2023- plus healthier

alternatives.

1. Weight-loss shots

Ozempic and Wegovy, two injections that are used to treat Type 2 diabetes and obesity, are hot

commodities- even among people without those conditions. 1 . These drugs turn down appetite,

leading to weight loss, but people who stop using them typically gain it back. Side effects can

include pancreatitis, changes in vision, low blood sugar, and kidney and gallbladder problems.

2. Quiet quitting

Doing the bare minimum at work, rather than going above and beyond, is a risky 2022 trend. While

setting work-life boundaries is a good idea, quiet quitting normalizes staying stuck in a job that

doesn't feel satisfying or suit you. That elevates the likelihood of burnout, stress, and anxiety. 2 .

Really take the time to look into yourself and your skills, your talents, your passion, and think about

whether there's a better match.

3. 3

TikTok users are bombarded with mental-health content, leading many to diagnose themselves with

whatever condition resonates the most. Experts challenge TikTokers to double-check mental-health

information with a credible source. Discuss their symptoms with a doctor or other mental-health

provider.

4. Overdoing melatonin(褪黑素)

4 . That's worrisome for a variety of reasons, including a lack of data on the long-term safety

of regular use. It's time for a shift in how we think about melatonin. A pill doesn't replace a lifestyle.

Reserve melatonin for special occasions, like if you've traveled to a different time zone and need

help adjusting to a new schedule.

5. Body talk

The body-positivity movement aims to accept, appreciate, and celebrate all bodies, regardless of

size or shape. In 2023, aim to practice body neutrality. 5 . Unfollow social media accounts

that promote unhealthy body-image ideals. Instead of saying things like I love my body, shift to I

accept my body as it is.

【题源 TIME 时代周刊 (January 16-23, 2023)】

body looks

G. Americans are getting less sleep than they did before the pandemic, and melatonin use has

Smart swaps that’ll help you lose weight and feel great

Eating better and losing weight are usually top of the list when it comes to new year

resolutions.___1______. Nutritionist Amanda Hamilton believes there is an easier way to reboot

your approach to food and health. She calls them smart swaps – everyday switches that are easy to

fit into your life.

SWAP: Heavy evening meal for protein-rich breakfast

Protein leverage means front-loading your day with protein-rich foods that will help to quell

hunger pangs later in the day. __2_____Incidentally, full fat dairy is linked to lower levels of obesity

than low fat alternatives. Calcium intake, too, is important for women. So fill up on Greek yoghurt

with a sprinkling of granola on top for breakfast.

SWAP: Calorie counting for focus on fibre

Fibre isn’t a sexy subject, but getting enough of it is crucial to healthy bowel movements --- meaning less bloating, more energy and clearer skin. ____3____So try switching your mindset from counting

calories to counting the amount of fibre you eat.

___4______

This is a simple but effective way to ensure what you eat is low calorie and packed full of nutrients.

When you choose vegetables that are grown above ground, such as kale, broccoli, cauliflower and

peppers, you reduce the starch(淀粉) content of your food. Potatoes and parsnips, grown

underground, are high in starch, which translates to sugar when eaten.

SWAP: Deprivation for enjoying your favourites

You don’t need to cut out all your favourite drinks or snacks. It’s important to still enjoy them. Think

to yourself, what’s the one thing you really don’t want to give up? It could even be wine or chocolate.

____5_____An all-or-nothing deprivation mindset doesn’t help, because when you have that

inevitable slip from your super strict diet, you tend to think it’s all over and give up.

【题源 Daily Mirror 每日镜报 (January 9, 2023)】

A. SWAP: Grown underground for grown overground

B. SWAP: Raw tomatoes for cooked tomatoes

C. But while January is often the time people embark on restrictive diets, these can prove hard to

stick to

D. At the moment, the average UK adult consumes around half of the daily 30g recommended intake.
