Experts reveal how the pressure of a healthy lifestyle can be having the opposite effect

Over the past few years wellness trends have grown in popularity – from yoga and meditation to gut-friendly foods.

And while being invested in looking after our physical and mental health is a good thing, experts have questioned if the fixation and constant bombardment of self-improvement actually makes us happy.
