Hot Nutrition Trends for 2010

Gathered from news sources, nutritionists and culinary experts, here are some of 2010′s top nutrition trends:

1. Green means go! We’re an eco-conscious population; we’re paying attention to how far our food travels before it reaches our tables, we’re looking to eat more locally grown foods, and we’re scrutinizing our food’s carbon footprint as much as we are our own.

2. Meat will no longer take center stage. Instead, we’ll be increasing our consumption of whole grains, fruits and vegetables, nuts and beans, and choosing to eat meat less frequently.

3. Salt is the new trans fat. We’ll be looking for ways to decrease our intake of sodium as the next major health movement, especially across America.

4.  Slow Food is catching on. Taking time to savor meals, whether eating out or in, will increasingly be used as a diet tool and a way to combat overeating.

5. Eating in is the new dining out. Instead of going out–whether it’s to a fancy restaurant or a fast-food shack–more and more people are making their own meals, brown-bagging their lunches, and encouraging the whole family to participate in meal prep. Also on the rise: dinner parties at home, instead of at a restaurant. (Incidentally, swapping butter-drenched popcorn for your favorite flavor of Glenny’s low-fat Soy Crisps on family movie night is a great way to encourage healthy snacking that’s delicious and nutritious.)
