As we embark on a new year, Canadians are curious to know what foods, supplements and
products will be on everyone’s radar. With an eye on the year ahead, here are the top five
natural health trends of 2017. These trends pack a punch of holistic health benefits and, best of
all, they’re simple to integrate into your daily lifestyle for a happy and healthy year!
Mushrooms
We’re sharing the top five natural health trends of 2017, and today we’ll be talking about
mushrooms!
For a food that grows in the shadows, mushrooms are heading into the spotlight with their
many health benefits, many of which are related to improving mental and nerve cell health. For
example, studies have shown that some medicinal mushrooms, such as reishi, chaga, shiitake,
oyster and Lion’s Mane, can help to improve memory and learning while decreasing anxiety and
depressive symptoms.
Mushrooms are so versatile: you can throw them in a salad, toss them on a barbecue, boil them
to make tea, or take them as a supplement. Click here to learn more about the health benefits
of mushrooms.
Sprouting
We’re sharing the top five natural health trends of 2017, and today we’ll be talking about
sprouting!
Canadians are increasingly interested in three things: local food, healthy food, and DIY food.
Sprouting ticks all of these boxes while being easy and affordable. When seeds are sprouted,
nutrients naturally present are released. Vitamins and minerals usually locked away are
activated, which allows our body to access and absorb these nutrients. Sprouted foods also
retain a high vitamin and mineral content that many foods lose through processing.
Last but not least, it’s simple to sprout from your own home. Click here to learn how.
Digestive Enzymes
We’re sharing the top five natural health trends of 2017, and today we’ll be talking about
digestive enzymes!
With the rise of probiotics, everyone’s looking for the next thing in digestive health. In 2017,
many of us will go beyond probiotics to digestive enzymes. Digestive enzymes give our body a
head start on digestion by breaking down all the nutrients in the food we consume. They’re like
the keys that unlock the nutritional potential in our diet. They also help you digest heavy meals,
and reduce bloating and gas production associated with indigestion.
There are many types of digestive enzymes, each with their own purpose. Click here to learn

Plant-based Dairy Alternatives
We’re sharing the top five natural health trends of 2017, and today we’ll be talking about plantbased dairy alternatives!
With many Canadians suffering from lactose intolerance and allergy symptoms from dairy, more
options for plant-based dairy alternatives will be available this year. Almond-, hemp-, soy- and
coconut-based dairy alternatives have been around for years, but newcomers to the market
include many other options, from flax seeds to hazelnuts and cashews. These are super creamy
without lots of added calories, and serve as great sources of calcium, are naturally lactose-free,
and provide healthy doses of vitamin A, D and E, with virtually no saturated fat or cholesterol.
From beverages, to chocolate, cheeses and spreads, click here to learn more about the many
options for plant-based dairy alternatives you’ll be seeing on shelves in 2017!
Smart Carb Options
We’re sharing the top five natural health trends of 2017, and today we’ll be talking about smart
carb options!
Carbohydrates aren't the "bad guys” of nutrition. In fact, these nutrients are important to fuel
our bodies, healthy gut bugs and brains. In 2017, experts want to clear up the confusion about
carbs and help Canadians enjoy all the health benefits associated with carbs. Choosing smart
carb options that are rich in fibre allows your body time to break down and absorb them, which
is good for all of our digestive organs.
There are many snack options that can satisfy your crunchy craving without the spike and crash
of conventional snacks. Click here to learn more.
