New Study by UNiDAYS shows Gen Z Redefines Health and Wellness

New Year's resolutions are staged to be more interesting this year as Gen Z, soon to be the largest group of consumers in the U.S., takes over. This group of teens and young adults believe healthfulness is more than losing a few pounds or hitting the gym.

According to a survey of more than 12,000 of its student members across the U.S., U.K., Australia and New Zealand, UNiDAYS found that Gen Z believes in a holistic approach to health, incorporating physical fitness, healthy eating and mental well-being. This group of digital natives also uses technology to support wellness, with 65 percent of respondents using workout apps, often instead of expensive gym memberships. A majority of respondents also use food tracking or diet apps, and 28 percent depend on wearable technology to track workouts and eating. Click here.

Other top findings include Gen Z's focus on mental health -- 72 percent say managing stress and mental health is their most important health and wellness concern and 60 percent believe getting enough sleep is important. They are also overwhelmingly healthy eaters - 68 percent say eating a well-balanced diet as critical. Though 41 percent say they eat fast food at least weekly, that doesn't necessarily mean fries and burgers. For Gen Z, "fast food" can also mean quick, healthy, on-the-go meal options, such as salads, which 32 percent of respondents say is the go-to healthy meal.

"Generation Z commands up to $143 billion in U.S. spending power, and this offers a huge opportunity to marketers looking to capture this audience as customers," said Alex Gallagher chief strategy officer. "Health and fitness brands that want to capture their share need to abandon their categories and mirror Gen Z's holistic approach that incorporates physical and mental fitness, healthy eating, and bridges both digital and physical realms."

Additional Survey Findings:

For restaurant marketers, Gen Z names salad (32 percent), a smoothie (20 percent), a wrap (19 percent), sushi (16 percent), and a bowl (8 percent) as their top healthy food picks. Forty-one percent eat fast food at least weekly, but as the results show, burgers and fries are not necessarily on the menu. For Gen Z-ers, fast food can also mean quick and healthy.
