Posted on Dec 31st 2007 2:32PM by Martha Edwards2007 was a crazy year, and with the health of our world and its people starting to take a top priority throughout, it's no surprise that this was a year of much controversy. MSN Health recently did an article on the top trends of 2007.
What was hot this year:
What was hot this year:
- Sleep medication. Too many people suffer from insomnia, so the search for a cure was on.
- Tricking your kids into eating their veggies. Hey--whatever works!
- Going Green. And thank goodness for that -- we need to make major changes to save our earth.
- Medical Tourism. Travelling abroad for medical procedures is on the rise, both to avoid the high and the long waits in our home countries.
- Kids' Mental Health. The prevalence of autism, bipolar disorder and ADHD in kids has raised more than a few eyebrows.
- Friends who make you fat. Several news story reported that obesity is contagious, forcing many people to evaluate who they're hanging out with.
- Trans Fat in Restaurants. The crusade against trans fats gained lots of momentum with thousands of restaurants and food producers eliminating them.
- Kids and cold medicine. The days where we could calm a child with nighttime cold medicine are over, thanks to several reports from experts on the dangers of it.
- Toys. Too many toys were found to have lead paint or other harmful substances. That 'Made In China' label might be blacklisted, as least as far as toys are concerned.
- Tanning Beds. They'll kill you. Seriously. Is it really worth it? I think not.
