What’s your Health & Fitness plan? In this post, we explain the most popular of 2013’s newest and resurfacing health trends.

1. Going Gluten-free: Turning to a gluten-free diet has become a popular choice as more and more Americans are diagnosed with Celiac disease or discover that they are gluten intolerant. But the diet is not a go-to weight-loss tool for all. In fact, you may gain weight on a gluten-free diet depending on your circumstances.

2. Your Own Body Weight for Training: Using the weight of your own body is a cost-effective way to work out, but according to the National Academy of Sports Medicine, you have to be at a certain level of fitness to get in shape this way.

3. Know a Dangerous Diet When You See One: Each new year brings with it a trendy new fad diet – from the feeding tube diet to HCG. Make sure you know how to tell a dangerous fad diet from the real thing.

4. Energy in a Bottle: Yes or No? Energy drinks promise a quick fix for your fatigue, but consumers are starting to wonder if they’re safe.

5. Cosmetic Surgery Fact and Fiction: Many of us have something we would like to change about our bodies. If you’re thinking about having some “work done,” be sure you know what’s safe and what’s not.
