Father’s Day 2019: Move beyond the usual, give your dad the gift of a healthy life; here is how

Father’s Day 2019: We are just three days away from Father's Day 2019 and most of you have started to search for an ideal gift for your dad. However, it is easier said than done. While dads are easy to make happy comparatively; a good tie, a nice perfume, or maybe a pair of fancy sunglasses might seem convenient and convincing but it does lack in thoughts, believes Anjali Malhotra, Chief Customer, Marketing and Digital Officer, Aviva Life Insurance. She urged people to be thoughtful and gift a healthy and secured future to your dad instead of just something wrapped in a paper. Here are a few unique gift ideas suggested by Anjali that can help your father stay fit -

Membership to a health club:

Staying fit is easier than ever. With greater accessibility, your parents can adopt a healthy lifestyle with ease. "In this fast paced lifestyle, taking out time for ourselves very often than not becomes quite challenging. Gifting your father with a gym membership, yoga / Zumba class or even laughing clubs would be a nice gesture to express your love and care for him," Anjali suggested. 

A Full Body Check-up:

Most parents get themselves so occupied that they often end up ignoring their health. You can help them by booking a full body check up. "Gift you father a comprehensive body check-up so that his health is regularly monitored and in case of any health conditions, it shall be detected at a very nascent stage and corrective measures can be taken accordingly," she said. 

Gift for the retirement years:

Anjali explained that most fathers work hard all their life to provide their children the best of everything. So, you can help them enjoy their retirement years by investing in a guaranteed income plan. "It’s only after he retires from his day job that he gets some to for himself, and to relax. Secure those precious years of his life and let him enjoy his retirement with a guaranteed income plan," she added.

Fitness band:

Now, if a full body check up might sound too much work, you can manage with a fitness band for now. 

"For fashion-forward dads who want to live healthier every day and at the same time flaunt his fitness, a fitness band is a perfect blend of fashion and technology making it easier to maintain a balanced lifestyle. The fitness bands today perform multiple roles such as tracking workouts, sleep, and some are even waterproof which means he can even wear it when he goes for a swim!" Anjali said.
