Give the Gift of Health and Wellness This Holiday Season

“When you give a gift that promotes health—whether it’s encouraging physical activity, healthier eating or better sleep quality—you’re not just giving an item; you’re offering the recipient an opportunity to improve their personal wellness,” said Tabrina Davis, spokesperson for Healthier 901 and Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare. “Gifts oriented around healthy living are a thoughtful way to show someone you care about their long-term happiness and longevity.”

1. Stay Hydrated with a Reusable Water Bottle

Hydration is critical to good health, and a reusable water bottle is a great way to help your loved one get plenty of H₂O while cutting down on landfill waste. Givers of this gift will find options that fit a wide range of budgets, as well as special features such as built-in fruit infusers (naturally flavored water?

2. Relieve Muscle Tension with Massage Balls

Who said healthy living is only about the burn? Massage balls are ideal for relieving muscle pain and easing tension in the body, whether caused by exercise or sitting for lengthy periods of time. This gift is also great for increasing the range of movement and improving blood circulation—both excellent gains for the heart and other muscles.

3. Get Fit on the Go with Fitness Resistance Bands

When you want to give a gift that’s lightweight, versatile and great for workouts at home and on the go, look no further than fitness resistance bands. These bands are a super affordable addition to any exercise routine, and their versatility means they can be adapted to fit any range of motion and ability level, making them a great gift for anyone interested in fitness.
