With Father’s Day right around the corner, what better way to show dad you care than getting him something to benefit his well-being? It’s never too early to adopt a healthier lifestyle, and getting a gift to improve his heart health will help keep him around for many more holidays to come. Here are four gift ideas to keep your parent strong and happy.

Gifts That Keep on Giving

1. Healthy Breakfast or Dinner

Prepare dad a special Father’s Day breakfast or dinner with fresh, lean, nutritious ingredients. Choose low-sodium items, eggs, meat or fish, and plenty of fruits or vegetables. Show him it isn’t a chore to eat right and he just might adopt the habit.

2. Fitness Tracker  

Most fitness trackers measure steps, distance traveled, and calories burned. Some can also check an individual’s quality of sleep, calorie intake, heart rate, and other helpful facts. The item can be a fun way for your father to challenge himself and monitor his daily fitness. Most products come with an accompanying app and social network, so you can connect with dad, see how he is doing, and encourage him to keep up the good work.

3. Gym Membership

To encourage regular and long-term activity, consider getting dad a gym membership. He will have access to all the equipment he needs and can sign up for personal training sessions or exercise classes. More than a resource for fitness, many gyms also serve as a place to socialize with peers, which is beneficial for dad’s happiness and heart health too.

4. Hike or Bike

A hiking or biking excursion will get your father outdoors, burning calories and strengthening his muscles and bones. These adventures are also a fun way to bond. However, if you can’t go, try to find a club or meetup group he can join that regularly hosts activities.
