Which British wellness obsession is actually worth the hype — and which is utter nonsense?
From cold plunges in the Serpentine to £8 mushroom coffees, Britain has gone wellness-mad. Rank these national fixations from genuinely life-changing to completely bonkers.
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
Cold Water Swimming
Plunging into freezing lidos and lochs has become a national pastime. Devotees swear by the endorphin rush; sceptics say you're just cold and slightly mad.
B
The Sunday Roast Reset
A proper roast with all the trimmings is unofficial therapy for millions. Nutritionists may scoff, but few things mend a battered soul like Yorkshire puddings.
C
Park Run Saturdays
Every Saturday morning, thousands lace up for a free timed 5K in their local park. It's part exercise, part cult, part excuse for a post-run flat white.
D
Hot Yoga in Hackney
Bending into a pretzel in 40°C heat while someone whispers about chakras. Transformative spiritual practice or just an expensive sauna with extra steps?
E
The Pub Pint Wind-Down
Mates, a fireplace, and a pint of bitter — arguably more effective than any meditation app. Doctors disagree, but the British public has voted with its liver.
