Do you have a parent who is recovering from surgery or a health problem? It is always nice to send over a gift to let them know you care. At this stage, however, your parents probably have every knick-knack you can think of. So the last thing they will need is another gift to cram into one of the closets. Instead, choose something that will help them in their recovery process.
Here are five health food baskets you can create for your parent:
Fresh Fruit Basket
Is there a better way to buoy someone’s health than fresh fruits? Packed with naturally occurring antioxidants and vitamins, orange contains more than 116% of recommended Vitamin C while pineapple is loaded with important micronutrients such as niacin, manganese, and more. All of these healthful nutrients work with the body to kill illnesses by empowering the immune system. Depending on the season, add in domestic and tropical fruits such as, oranges, apples, pineapple, kiwi, pears, and coconut into your gift basket. Fruits act as natural medicine against the toughest of illnesses.
Dried Fruits Health Gift Basket
A large basket containing a thoughtful range of nourishing dried foods is sure to cheer any parent. There are a variety of products that you can add including, trail mixes, almonds, dried apricots, cashews and pistachios that will offer them the much needed energy.
Organic Gift Basket
Fresh is always the best! Gifting your parents freshly ground organic herbs, spices and salts that they can use while preparing everyday meals is a great way to bring them back to health. Encouraging home-cooked food will also help your parents stay away from packaged products that have excess sugar, artificial ingredients and trans-fats.
There are a variety of fresh herbs and spices you can add to your basket including, ground ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, oregano, parsley, mint, cumin, pepper, and the like.
Nourishing Gift Basket
A container full of healthy snacks that a patient can munch on without feeling guilty or sick is a great idea. Your nourishing basket can contain gourmet hummus, olive oil crackers, mustard sauce, shortbread cookies, green tea, and much more. Apart from this, to make the basket even more appealing, you can also snuggle in accessories such as, tea mugs, cutting board, knives, and the like.
A gluten-free diet is a diet that eliminates a protein composite known as gluten found in wheat, rye and barley. A lot of doctors recommend gluten free foods to their patients for health reasons. So, if your parents have also been advised to stay away from this protein, a large array of delicious gluten-free cookies such as, luscious double chocolate, chocolate chip, ginger cookies, and gluten-free brownies is surely going to make their day. Apart from the sweet goodies, there are a variety of other gluten free food products that you can add, depending on the receiver’s taste.
Buying a perfect gift can be challenging. The job gets even harder when you're buying for a recovering parent. Gift baskets are certainly the way to go in such circumstances. Your parents will not only love the basket but will also be touched by the thought that went into creating it.
