" Your Phone Won&amp;#039;t be the Only Gadget on You It&amp;#039;s a lot easier to stay motivated to get fit when you can see the results right away. Wearable fitness tech tools can help you keep track of your heart rate, steps, calorie burn, mileage covered and more. Runners have been obsessed with GPS watches for some time now, but fitness trackers from the Nike Fuel Band to the Jawbone Up are bringing it mainstream. Plus, newer designs are getting sleeker and more subtle, while incorporating an increasingly in-depth analysis of your daily routine. What&amp;#039;s next in wearable tech? Keep an eye out for more smart watches at this year&amp;#039;s CES. Soon you&amp;#039;ll be able to make like Inspector Gadget and communicate via your watch without ever pulling your phone out of your pocket or purse. Appliances Will Become Even More High-Tech It&amp;#039;s getting harder and harder to find an appliance or electronic that&amp;#039;s not &amp;quot;connected&amp;quot; these days. From washing machines with built-in tech support to light bulbs you can control via an app and speakers that can stream from your phone, the whole house is going high-tech. Look for easier solutions to integrate your connected appliances and for more great tech features to be built in. We&amp;#039;ll Start Paying More Bills by Phone (No, Not a 1-800 Number) Wallets are so 2013. From digital cards that can store all your credit card info (like Coin) to apps that store your personal details (like Google Wallet), it&amp;#039;s becoming more mainstream to store all your payment details on your mobile device. (Just make sure you lock your phone!) Does Anyone Remember a Good Old-Fashioned Broom? Our cleaning industry experts are seeing lots of new vacuum cleaner designs for 2014. Already, we&amp;#039;ve spotted new models that combine wet and dry cleaning, have removable mini-vacs, and sport easy-to-empty dirt containers. We&amp;#039;re also seeing new floor steamers and stick vacuums to make floor cleaning easier. Yoga Pants are the New Jeans As exercise fabrics become more hardworking (with great features like sweat-wicking and cooling abilities), athletic apparel is becoming more popular too. Workout clothing sales increased four-fold this past year in comparison to total clothes spending. Yes, you may be working out more, but you&amp;#039;re also wearing workout clothes more in every aspect of your life! We&amp;#039;ll Be Eating New (But Actually Really Old) Grains Quinoa took over this year, but look for grains like kamut, spelt, and amaranth to make an appearance in 2014. All are ancient grains high in protein (kamut was grown in ancient Egypt, spelt has been popular in Europe since the Middle Ages, and amaranth was grown by the Aztecs.) Try kamut and spelt in baked goods or as a pilaf. Amaranth is gluten-free and its peppery flavor is great in soups. (For more cooking tips, be sure to check out our guide to whole grains.) And Those Grains Will Be Served with Omega-3-Rich Fish We&amp;#039;re seeing more and more seafood, like sardines, anchovies, and mackerel, popping up in recipes. They&amp;#039;re good for you (as touted by experts like Dr. Oz), but they&amp;#039;re also beloved in the chef world for their enjoyably intense flavor, low cost, and versatility. Hungry for more?
