Nearly half of Americans have become more proactive about their health since 2019

Nearly half of Americans have become more proactive about their health since 2019, new research suggests.

In a recent survey of 2,000 Americans, more than half cited the pandemic as the cause, with a similar amount saying they’ve become more conscious of getting older and noting their family health history or current health issues.

The past two years have inspired people to try a variety of wellness trends. The No. 1 that caught on? Immune health supplements (45%), followed by mindful eating (43%) and yoga or mindfulness meditation (40%). Others gave “listening to ASMR videos” a go, or opted for “medicinal cannabis,” “acupuncture” and “Tai Chi.”Nearly half of Americans have become more proactive about their health since 2019, new research suggests.
