Welcome to the second week of our festive journey!
January brings a shift in focus as many look to balance indulgence with healthier choices after the festive season. For some, this means a self-restricted “Banuary” – a month of deprivation. Not for me! I’m all about moderation, not elimination. Cutting back doesn’t have to mean cutting out, especially with the exciting new launches hitting the shelves. From Waitrose’s innovative “En Papillote” fish range to M&S’s brain-boosting snacks and Holland & Barrett’s TriActive sports nutrition, brands are stepping up with creative solutions to help consumers eat healthier without sacrificing enjoyment.
Ready to see what’s shaping up as the health trends of 2025?
Let’s dive into the highlights!
As always, enjoy the read and keep the feedback coming,

M&S Launches Innovative Brain Food Range
M&S has unveiled its new Brain Food range, created with nutrition criteria developed in consultation with the British Nutrition Foundation. Designed to address common nutrient gaps, the range champions six brain health-supporting nutrients - omega-3 (DHA), iron, zinc, iodine, folate, and vitamin B12 - with every product containing at least two. From granola and yogurt bowls to smoothies, a 35 plant salad, and the standout Brain Ball, these delicious offerings carry the Eat Well seal and fit seamlessly into a balanced diet. Produced in partnership with Wholebake, the Brain Ball is a brain-boosting snack that’s as tasty as it is nutritious, and it even starred in the documentary Inside M&S that aired this week! Worth a watch for anyone interested in product development.
