It’s December and time for the 2012 Edition of Good
Health! Gifts . . .
Zipbuds
Tangle-Free Earbuds -- Starting at $19.95. Fashion meets function in these fun earbuds
that combine military technology and great sound quality. They’d be a great gift for just about anyone that uses earbuds
when they workout. http://www.zipbuds.com
The Meat Free Monday Cookbook by Paul, Stella & Mary McCartney
-- $19. This celebrity
cookbook is not about becoming vegetarian but rather it highlights practical
ways to reduce the consumption of meat.
It contains simple recipes
using fresh produce, good fats and alternative protein sources that can make a
huge difference to the health of our planet, to your personal health and to the
health of your pocketbook. http://www.amazon.com/Meat-Free-Monday-Cookbook-Every/dp/1906868697
Royal
Rivera Pears from Harry & David -- Starting at $29.95. Pears taste great and they’re high in fiber.
They are also a good source of the
mineral boron. That’s
important because the latest research suggests that boron plays an important
role in the retention of calcium making the humble pear an osteoporosis preventer.

Zapi
UV Brush Sanitizer -- Starting at $30. The germaphobe on your holiday gift list is sure to
appreciate this sanitizer that eliminates 99.9% percent of germs and bacteria
living on a toothbrush. http://www.violight.com
Nike+
FuelBand -- $149. The Nike+
FuelBand is a plastic bracelet you wear on your wrist to track your daily fitness.
FuelBand uses a sports-tested accelerometer to measure arm movements so it’s
all about overall activity. Pedometers are so 2011. With a Nike+ FuelBand you decide how active you want to be
and then you use the iPhone app to monitor your progress.
Intimina
by Lelo Laselle Kegel Exercisers – Starting $12.95. Like something out of the pages of Fifty Shades of Grey, these silicone
spheres are inserted into a woman’s vagina and help “discreetly target and
strengthen” the pelvic floor.
They come in three different resistance levels and “emit a subtle
vibration during movement to give you the instant confirmation” that they are
in the correct position. It’s like
having a personal trainer for your intimate health. http://www.intimina.com
The
Gift of Friendship – Priceless. According to Yvonne L. Michael, lead researcher of the Nurses’
Health Study, close friendships provide a buffer for stressful living that is
likely to affect your immune and endocrine systems allowing you to age
healthier.” Friends increase your
sense of belonging, boost your happiness, reduce stress, improve your
self-worth and truly are a special gift.
Make the time to be good to you this holiday season and hang
out with friends -- you’ll be happier and healthier in 2013 if you do.
Merry Christmas, Happy 2013 & Good Health!
Terry
“Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving, make
everyday a holiday and celebrate just living.”
