From artisanal breads and more Southeast Asian food options, to finding more ways to aging healthfully, check out 2025’s anticipated food and health trends.
Staying on top of the latest trends helps us understand what is important in the world today. It also opens our eyes to different technologies, products, and strategies that may enhance our lives based on current research and data. To keep you “in the know” about what is going on in the world of food and health, here are some of the projected trends for 2025.
Artisanal Breads to Return
Experts with the online grocer FreshDirect predict that artisanal breads (those made by hand and often passed down generationally) will make a comeback. These breads tend to be higher in quality and flavor, providing more health benefits than mass-produced breads. This is because they’re naturally fermented and have fewer additives. (1)
Long-Held Favorite Snacks Are Reimagined, Healthier
Another 2025 food trend projected by FreshDirect is that some of our favorite snacks that maybe weren’t so good for us will be made available in healthier versions. This includes cleaner potato chips and gummy bears made with wholesome ingredients. More snack foods that are on the healthier side? Yes, please!
Crunch Becomes the Texture of Choice
One of the features that draw people to certain foods is texture. Whole Foods projects that crunch will be the texture people desire most in 2025, whether in their snacks, meals, sides, or desserts — and even in their beverages! (2) An espresso martini with a crisp crème brûlée top, anyone?
Goodbye Bland Drinking Water
We should be drinking between 11.5 and 15.5 cups of water per day. (3) This can feel punishing if you get bored with water and want something a little more exciting for your taste buds. If this is you, 2025 may be your year. Whole Foods projects that more innovative forms of water will be available in the months ahead. This includes cactus water, chlorophyll water, and sparkling coconut water. Healthier sports drinks are expected to make their way into the market, too.
Get Ready for More Southeast Asian Options
Do you enjoy trying foods from other areas of the world? The National Restaurant Association forecasts that Southeastern Asian fare will take the top slots when diners eat out in 2025. The cuisines sought out the most will likely be Korean, Vietnamese, and Filipino, giving you a few options from which to choose. (4)
2025 Health Trends to Watch For
AI Becomes More Prominent in Healthcare
Some people use artificial intelligence (AI) to plan their vacations, find the perfect gifts, or locate historical facts. In 2025, we are likely to see AI used more often for healthcare purposes as well. According to Athena Health, AI will help keep patients more informed while also contributing to more accurate diagnoses and improved, personalized care. (5)
Increased Use of Urgent Care and Mental Health Treatments
Two healthcare facilities that Athena Health expects to be more in demand in the year ahead are urgent care facilities and behavioral health treatment centers. Urgent cares help patients get treatment without having to go to the emergency room. More people are expected to seek mental health help due to decreasing stigma and increasing awareness of conditions that exist.
Healthy Aging Takes Center Stage
By 2030, one in six people will be 60 or older, with this amount doubling by 2050. (6) This should make it no surprise that another 2025 health trend involves finding ways to age healthfully (and gracefully).
Some of the aging-related areas that people will likely pursue the most include those focused on
- brain health
- heart health
- and improved energy or vitality. (7)
More Natural, Personalized Health Solutions
Innova Market Insights provides a host of 2025 health trends. Many revolve around the use of natural products to advance or support each individual’s total health and well-being. This includes those designed to assist with weight loss or management, products created specifically to address women’s health needs, and solutions that enhance one’s connection with nature. (8)
