Take Dad Clubbing

Golfing contains mental, physical and even social health benefits.  It’s a low impact sport that gets the blood flow pumping, which can decrease heart disease and even lower bad cholesterol.  It’s also known to help lower stress, increase vision and help you get a better night sleep.  So treat dad to a round of golf this Fathers Day.  You may even discover for yourself some of Golf Digests 11 Little Known Benefits of Golf.

In fact, for some extra fun, I would recommend typing up their checklist to see how many out of the 11 you and he get to experience (chuckle).  For a full list of benefits, click here to read, The Top 10 Health Benefits Of Golf!

Love At First Sight

It’s no secret that as we get older our vision can begin to decline if you don’t take the proper care and precautions.  With the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it’s easy for dad to take his vision for granted.  Help protect his vision for years to come with a new pair of sunglasses.

It’s important to select ones that have 100% UV protection to filter both UVA and UVB rays.  However, there are a number of other things to consider before buying him new shades.  Click here to get ‘eyesmart’ and read The American Academy of Ophthalmology’s Recommended Types of Sunglasses.  With all the different selections available, it’s more important than ever to know exactly what to look for when shopping for sunglasses.

King Of The Grill

Did you know grilled vegetables retain more of their vitamins and minerals?  And meat cooked over an open flame actually preserves more riboflavin and thiamine?  All these important vitamins and nutrients play a vital role in a healthy diet.

So this Father’s Day get dad some ‘new tools‘ to encourage him to grill all season long.  This can include;

• Vegetable grilling basket

The Birds & The Bees

I threw this one in here for some tongue and cheek fun.  I’m sure we all remember that awkward talk with our parents about “the birds and the bees” so why not put together a special little basket to say thanks!

Consider putting together items such as:

• A bird watching book
• Binoculars
• Natural raw honey
• Beeswax candles
• Body butter
• Mustache wax
• Soap

There are over 100 different things that are made of beeswax so have some fun putting together this personalized basket special for your pops.  Although this was inspired by humor, there are some amazing benefits of honey and beeswax!

Honey is often used as natural sweetener but it actually has several nutritional and medicinal properties as well.  It has anti-inflammatory properties which can be used to calm a common cough.  It’s loaded with antioxidants which can prevent cell damage and assists the with the absorption of calcium which is essential for brain health.  Honey even contains antibacterial properties that can disinfect and protect your wounds from certain types of bacteria.

According to Healthline

• Raw honey is rich in enzymes and antioxidants, while beeswax contains long-chain fatty acids and alcohols — all of which may benefit your well-being.
• Research suggests that they may help reduce your risk of diabetes, dementia, heart disease, and even certain types of cancer
• Honeycomb may benefit your heart by increasing blood flow and “good” HDL cholesterol levels while lowering blood pressure, triglycerides, and “bad” LDL cholesterol.
• Honeycomb may strengthen your body’s defenses against fungi and some types of disease-causing bacteria. It may also help protect your gut against certain parasites. However, more human research is needed.
• Honeycomb tends to raise blood sugar levels less than refined sugar. What’s more, compounds found in honeycomb may help lower insulin resistance — but more studies are needed.
• Beeswax alcohols found in honeycomb may improve liver function and reduce symptoms in people with liver disease. However, more studies are needed.

Walking In His Footsteps

As we get older the simple joys of being outdoors and one with nature seems to be all in the past.  We get stuck in our busy work week routines and spend what little free time we have winding down in front of the TV or ipad.  This is when it’s important to remind dad of the common phrase, “use it or lose it“.

People who are inactive are more prone to health issues such as:

• Obesity
• Diabetes
• Cardiovascular disease
• Osteoporosis
• Coronary heart disease
• Certain types of cancer

Therefore, in order to keep dad’s body healthy it’s imperative that he stays active. So this father’s day, start by telling your dad to “go take a hike” by providing him with a map of local trails in your area.

Hiking Benefits

According to Marc Faktor, Certified Exercise Physiologist hiking;

• Lowers stress levels, improved mood, and enhanced mental well-being
• Reduces risk for heart disease
• Lowers blood pressure
• Lowers cholesterol levels
• Improves control over healthy weight
• Lowers body fat
• Improves bone density
• Improves osteoarthritis outcomes
• Increases flexibility and coordination

Next, make sure to get dad the right pair of shoes. This is so important especially if you find your dad is already prone to foot discomfort or pain when walking.

Give Dad A Time Out!

I strongly believe more people could benefit their health naturally if they would just  meditate before they try to medicate themselves.  Meditation has been proven time and time again to reduce stress, lower anxiety and fight depression in addition to a plethora of other things.  Help your dad find his inner peace by introducing some zen into his life. Take a look at some of these personalized gifts for dad.
