Father's Day! Give your dad these 5 great health gifts

What will you do to make your dad happy this Father's Day? Forget clothes, watches, cell phones or drinks. Consider giving him the gift of health! Most fathers don't care about their health, always putting their careers and family responsibilities first. Father's Day is a great opportunity for you to express your gratitude to your dad. Also take this opportunity to help your dad balance his lifestyle and relax his body and mind. Here are five ways to help him have a great day! Fatigue, stress and depression.

1. Give away a big oriental sports gift pack.

On Dad’s special day, if Dad wants to relax and watch the game, that’s great. But he should also take at least 30 minutes of exercise every day. Walking or riding a bike are both good forms of aerobic exercise. Let Dad do a new kind of exercise: Eastern exercise. You can buy him a sports training course card as a gift for Dad, and it would be even better if you can accompany Dad to participate in Eastern sports training.

Eastern training generally uses a mind-body approach. Tai Chi: Soft, smooth movements that get your heart racing in a soft, firm, balanced, coordinated way. Speaking of flexibility, yoga has proven health benefits: boosting immunity; relieving migraines; even enhancing sexual function. Another soothing form of exercise: Qigong, a form of physical and mental training that combines breathing exercises with gentle movements. Qigong has been practiced in Asia for thousands of years and can help balance and relieve stress.

Fathers are burdened with a lot of responsibilities. Too much stress can lead to health problems, such as heart disease, headaches, asthma, obesity, diabetes, and even rapid aging. Be aware of the pressure on your father and show your concern for him by giving him a lifeline.

Arrange a soothing acupuncture treatment for him. The ancient acupuncture treatment not only relieves pain but is also an effective way to relieve stress and anxiety. Some large companies provide their employees with benefits such as acupuncture and massage at the clinic. If your father does not need acupuncture, Asian massage is also a good choice: Chinese massage, Thai massage and Japanese acupressure are all oriental health care. The whole body uses squeezing and stretching to exercise the body's flexibility, relax muscles, improve blood circulation, and reduce pain and stress.

Encourage Dad to switch from "beige" foods like potatoes and bread to "yin and yang" foods or a balanced diet, eating 5-10 servings of fruits and vegetables of various colors every day. Make sure you get a variety of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. The rainbow diet can enhance the body's immune system, reduce the risk of cancer and diabetes, lower blood pressure, benefit heart health, improve memory, and strengthen bones and teeth. You can help Dad get started on the right track of healthy eating, the traditional Asian diet is based on vegetables, fruits, beans and whole grains, which is healthy and delicious. This very healthy diet will help Dad maintain a healthy weight. This diet is also considered heart-healthy and can help prevent high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and heart disease.

After a workout, stress relief, relaxation, and a good meal, let Dad have a good night's sleep. The benefits of sleep include reducing the risk of heart disease, obesity, and diabetes, as well as boosting immunity, improving memory, and improving sex life. If he continues to de-stress, exercise regularly, and eat a healthy diet, he should have no problem getting a good night's sleep every night.

Although hugging is not strictly an Asian practice and does not have an oriental style, it is a universal method! Studies have shown that hugging can lower blood pressure, boost the immune system, and fight infection and depression. So, give your dad a big hug. It will benefit both of you.
