Health issues you might suffer from if you don’t take simple steps to take care of yourself are aches and pains, fatigue and even telogen effluvium. This is a more common problem than you might realize, telogen effluvium symptoms are hair loss and scalp problems mainly in women. It is preventable, however, as are other health problems brought on by stress which can be fixed by certain lifestyle changes. It’s vital that you take some time for yourself in 2020.  Here are some top wellness trends you can try this year.

Developing a bit of a green thumb can be very therapeutic. It’s a pleasant way to get in touch with nature which is proven to give you some perspective and help you to relax. It’s also very rewarding and satisfying to see something growing and thriving because of your nurture. Don’t worry if you don’t have much experience or knowledge about plants, there are many more low maintenance species. 

Mindfulness
