Health Tech

You do enjoy your smartwatch, don’t you? All men love their gadgets, and most are eager to get the latest tech available for comfort, productivity, entertainment, etc. Health tech is not only here to stay, it is one of the biggest tech movements of this year. The use of wearable health devices such as fitness trackers, smartwatches, and heart rate monitors, has greatly changed in recent years. These devices can provide real-time health data and feedback, helping you stay on top of your health goals and track your progress.

Plant-Based Diets

Consuming a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and seeds while reducing the intake of animal products has been associated with numerous health benefits, including a lower risk of heart disease and certain cancers.

Functional Fitness

This involves engaging in exercises that mimic real-life movements and activities, helping improve overall strength, flexibility, and balance.

Getting Good Quality Sleep

Recognising the importance of quality sleep and adopting habits to improve sleep hygiene can positively impact physical and mental health.

Digital Detox

Taking breaks from electronic devices and social media can help reduce stress and improve mental focus.

Intermittent Fasting

Some studies suggest that intermittent fasting may have health benefits such as weight management and improved metabolic health, but it might not be suitable for everyone.

Cold Therapy

Cold showers or exposure to cold temperatures have been associated with potential benefits like improved circulation, mood, and immune function.

CBD for Stress and Pain relief

CBD has become one of the most popular natural treatments for stress and pain over the last few years, with no regard to gender boundaries whatsoever. From CBD bath bombs and face masks to CBDfx vape juices and tinctures, there are plenty of ways men can leverage the benefits of this natural compound.

Goodbye to Tired, Dull Skin

Whereas skincare has usually been looked at as something exclusively feminine and done only by women, this will finally be the year men can say goodbye to tired, dull skin in need of some TLC. This will be especially noticeable when caring for the skin on your face. Like most men, you likely don’t realize that a man’s skin is about 25% thicker than a woman’s. However, this doesn’t mean you are tough enough to withstand everything that comes your way, such as changing weather conditions, sweat, and so much more. Men’s skincare comes down to three key points: clarity, anti-aging, and hydration. These three elements are essential to skin health and appearance.

The Man Tan

If you enjoy being outside when the temps are warm and the sun is shining, you’ve heard plenty of advice over the years about the dangers of leaving your skin unprotected from the sun’s harmful UV rays. But, rather than be like many men who have chosen to forego sunscreen for fear of being labeled a sissy, you’ll be glad to find out that sunscreen will finally become one of the most important self-care items for men.

Wellness Music

From the music industry pivoting to “wellness” music to new technologies that capture our biometric data to create personalized, healing soundscapes—music is undergoing a sudden wellness transformation.

Below the Belt Grooming

Yes, guys, grooming below the belt is not just for women anymore. To be a truly modern man, you should get serious about grooming in those most personal areas. Two of the most popular products for this aspect of your grooming that you’ll hear more about are the groin trimmer and groin wash. Since the last thing you want to happen below your belt is chafing and skin irritation, groin wash is made to be especially sensitive to your skin, making it an ideal addition to your daily shower routine.

Brain Care

Having a healthy brain is the first step to coping with stress, being happier and reaching your full potential. There is much you can do for your own brain care. Taking breaks, getting enough rest and incorporating relaxation techniques such as yoga, meditation or Tai chi—are all great ways to quiet the noise and reconnect with yourself. Mindfulness is another tool in helping you to become aware of your emotions and how to deal with them in a healthy way. Mindfulness can also help you better navigate other challenges in life and work.
