15 Healthy Eating Trends You Should Know About

3. Environmentally Friendly Eating

Vegetarianism ties in with another healthy eating trend — planning meals based on the environmental impact. When you buy food, it often contains layers of packaging to preserve freshness. Typically, foods packaged like this contain preservatives and other chemicals as well. A popular trend in the healthy-eating movement is to stick to environmentally friendly products, such as unwrapped fresh fruits and vegetables or cage-free eggs. You should look for labels on your meat that include phrases like wild-caught, antibiotic free, pasture-raised and grass-fed. Organic, chemical-free produce and grains are another way to eat better and save the planet at the same time.
