Health, fitness wellness—whatever you want to call it—is a major focus in the United States, with health-related trends increasing significantly as Americans become passionate about staying fit and eating well.
Ironically, at the same time that obesity rates are rising—over one-third of adults and 17% of youth in the United States are obese—health consciousness is on the rise as well. Wellness is big business, in fact; estimates are that the wellness industry is worth $3.7 trillion globally.
