It’s that time of year again, kids, time to shop and find the perfect gift for the health-nuts and health-inspired loved ones in our lives. I took the liberty of doing a little leg work for you. Here are some recommendations: Skoop Have someone you know been fighting for energy this year? They exercise, they eat right, they get plenty of rest, but they still complain that they don’t feel like they’re getting the most out of their day? You NEED to get them Skoop. These shakes are PACKED with phyto- and micronutrients, the things your body needs to absorb (not just consume) to get the very most out of every cell in your body, with a healthy dose of ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) to protect those cells from a fast-forwarding aging process. They are all organic, non-GMO superfood based, tasty shakes that you drink just once a day for maximum energy output. Heck, you might even buy some for yourself when you can’t keep up with your loved ones anymore!   Fitness Shoes Giftcard For the athlete in your life, consider buying a gift card from a running store. Any athlete will tell you that if they do anything activity that includes being on their feet that they go through multiples pairs of athletic shoes in a year. Even the best running shoes are good for as little as 250 miles depending on your favorite athlete’s weight and level of activity and they’ll tell you how important it is to their back, leg, and joint health to have good shoes on their feet. They will also tell you that the best way to replace them is to have them fitted to their feet. Do you hear the cash register racking up the dollars? That’s right. Good athletic shoes are EXPENSIVE. Keep your athlete healthy with a gift card to a running store. (By the way, same goes for hikers.) One Month Unlimited Membership to a Local Yoga Studio Yoga is such a perfect blend of low impact strength training, cardio, muscle stretching and challenge. Those who know this will sing your praises when they open the envelope containing the gift certificate. Those who don’t will be pleasantly surprised by the positive influence yoga will have in their lives when they get started. Most local yoga studios offer new student deals and this may be just what your friend or family needs to kick start the New Year. There are many, MANY kinds of yoga and virtually every studio has classes of varying levels of expertise. Hire a Personal Chef Personal chefs are often hired to cook for dietary restrictions. They know the ins and outs of adjusting recipes to accommodate a client’s diet needs. They do the menu planning, the shopping, and in most cases will do the cooking right in your kitchen. All you have to do is write a check. It is a great way to get yourself out of the grocery store that is LOADED with temptations, especially around the holidays, and keep your on your plan to be healthier. Even if it is a one-time deal, you will benefit from having a personal chef take all the work out of sticking to your diet. HAPIfork A fork that tells you when you’re eating too fast?!!! HAPIfork a Bluetooth-enabled smart fork that lights up when you’re eating too fast. It sounds a little annoying in its concept, but it’s a clever way to teach you to slow down when you’re eating, thus reducing your calorie intake. It takes your brain about 20 minutes to get the message that you’ve eaten enough food. If you reduce the amount you eat during that 20 minutes, it gives your body time to reach the point of feeling satisfied without eating all 4,000 calories on your plate. Wheat Belly Cookbook Did someone you know learn that they are allergic to gluten this year? It is daunting to discover that you have an intolerance to wheat, the primary ingredient (second only to sugar!) of so much of what we Americans on the go eat. What now? This is the cookbook for you. You will learn that you can modify the foods you eat, how to shop, and overcome the withdrawal symptoms many will experience when they are forced to ditch the wheat. With recipes like French toast and angel hair pasta, they will realize they are not doomed to a life without bread and pasta.
