This holiday season give the gift of good health! Instead of spending a fortune on the latest fad, invest in your health and the health of your loved ones. Trends come and go, but good health will always be in style. Whether you’re shopping for a non-athletic individual or a fitness fanatic, this guide will help you find the perfect healthy gift for all the special people in your life.

Reusable water bottle

The body is composed of 95 percent water, and proper hydration is extremely important for your overall health and wellness. Keep plastic water bottles out of landfills and save money by giving a reuseable water bottle. There are hundreds of options when it comes to reusable water bottles; they are available in solid colors or prints, and made of varying materials. We recommend you purchasing a BPA-free water bottle.

 Activity tracker

An activity tracker offers a wealth of information on your daily activity levels, including how many steps you’ve taken, how many flights of stairs you’ve climbed and how many hours you slept. Some models offer heart rate monitoring as well. You can even program these to alert you if you haven’t moved for a certain period of time. The varying models of activity trackers make it the perfect gift for anyone!

Food scale

Out-of-control portions can sabotage any person’s diet. A food scale allows you to take control of your diet and know exactly how much you’re eating. Using a food scale at home also helps educate yourself on what proper portions look like, so when you’re eating out you won’t have to worry about overeating.

Massage therapy

Maintaining mental health is essential to overall well-being. Give the gift of massage therapy to help your loved ones destress from all the chaos that can come with the holidays. Massages can also help the body detox, in addition to alleviating stress. Take it a step further and gift a spa package to ensure maximum relaxation.
