    Mintel: Canadians Not Satisfied with Current Well-Being

    Time and responsibilities are top barriers to achieving an ideal level of wellness.

    Canadians believe they can do more to be healthier, according to new research from Mintel, which found that the majority are not satisfied with their current well-being (65%) and most don’t feel in control of it (59%). Overall, 66% claim they live a “somewhat healthy lifestyle.”
     
    Life is getting in the way and busy schedules are cutting into Canadian’s ability to care for themselves; as a result, Canadians say time (33%) and responsibilities (37%) are the top barriers hindering their ability to achieve the ideal level of wellness. Despite the need for shortcuts, however, few Canadians use heath technology to manage their health (at 21%).
     
    Carol Wong-Li, associate director, Lifestyles & Leisure, Mintel, said, “As health management is by definition an ongoing pursuit, consumers aren't interested in making drastic changes to their daily routines, so providing nudges and rewarding smaller steps will win the game. Companies and brands will find success by helping consumers simplify the quest for better health into more digestible elements. The focus should be more about building on to current behaviors, rather than pushing consumers to adopt new ones.”
     
    Addressing Mental Wellness
    Mental wellness is becoming more and more of a priority for Canadians as 52% say they have experienced a mental health concern in the past year. Interestingly, mental health is an area that's impacted by life stage; for example, mothers with children under age 18 at home say they are more likely to experience anxiety (41% vs 29% of fathers), and Gen Z women say they are more likely to experience depression (45% vs 30% of Gen Z men).
     
    With Canadians saying they are just as likely to experience stress (42%) as they are common ailments like the cold (41%), it is clear that mental wellness is a key area that needs to be addressed. This seems to be especially true for women, who are experiencing more instances of stress and anxiety than men: in the past year, 81% of women aged 18-24 say they experienced any mental health disorder, compared to 52% overall.
     
    “As schedules are already full, wellness solutions must meet consumers where they are, said Wong-Li. “Given that consumers today are having difficulty being ‘available,’ companies and brands will benefit by layering on to activities that consumers are already doing. The reality is that many are multitasking—even when they are relaxing. As such, promoting second-screen activities, like coloring while watching TV, may be a key way to connect with consumers who are multitasking on their downtime—for example shopping on their phones while watching TV.”
     
    Community Matters
    There is an interesting dynamic when it comes to health information sources and motivation. While trained professionals like specialists and doctors are seen as credible (45%), they’re not deemed motivating (25%). At the same time, few see family/friends as credible (19%), yet consumers are the most likely to get motivation from them (43%). 
     
    “Our research highlights the importance of building a sense of community in the health and wellness space, said Wong-Li. “Whether it be to foster a sense of friendly competition or moral support, virtual communities could be an effective way to keep consumers engaged and motivated with healthy living habits—no matter their age. Looking ahead, virtual communities may be playing a bigger role in managing mental wellness as consumers don’t see their homes as a place of belonging due to working from home or other income-related circumstances, leading consumers to seek alternative places to or spaces to fill the void.”
