Food trends to watch in 2018

- WITH CLAIR WHITTY

WHAT will the health food trends be for 2018? Already the prediction­s are out. Last year I would say that turmeric was number one. Everywhere you looked turmeric was on the shelves. It’s one of nature’s natural anti-inflammato­ry remedies. Every company suddenly had a turmeric supplement or a herbal tea on their product list. Thankfully it works; it reduced inflammati­on and pain for most people who tried it. I have no doubt that turmeric will remain popular again this year. Coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, raw chocolate, and matcha green tea were trending last year too.

This year you can expect to hear about Moringa, also known as Miracle Tree. It has amazing health benefits. It can reduce inflammati­on, balance blood sugar, balance hormones, protect brain health and also nourish the skin and hair. Moringa even has claims that it can reduce the effects of ageing. I think we’ll hear plenty about it throughout the year.
