6 Healthy Raksha Bandhan gifts to give to your sibling this year:
1. Dumbbells
By causing your body to burn calories and transform fat into a lean body, dumbbells aid in the development of your muscles. Additionally, dumbbell exercises make you exert a lot of energy, which raises your heart rate. Additionally, this helps your body's cardiovascular system function better. This makes dumbbells a great healthy gift. These can greatly help elevate a home workout experience.
2. Wireless earbuds
Listening to music when working out can not only make working out fun but can also boost your energy levels and overall motivation. Listening to music can also elevate happy hormones in the body, making it further beneficial for your health. This can be a great rakhi gift as wireless earbuds don't physically disrupt your body and improve movement when working out.
3. Massager
Nothing helps cure soreness as fast and easy as a muscle massager. Massagers can help you target specific body parts that might be sore from working out or due to other health issues. This can be a healthy and useful gift to give to your sibling. However prolonged pain in the body should be treated according to the consultation provided by a health professional.
4. Healthy-sweets basket
Like most South Asian festivities, Raksha Bandhan calls for delicious and sugary sweets. Although these sweets are nostalgic of our childhood and are scrumptious, they are high in sugar and often cooked or fried in a lot of refined oil. Instead of opting for these sugary-fried treats, you can make a homemade basket of treats which can include nuts, seeds, dark chocolate, sugar-free healthier sweets, and so on.
5. Protein powder
Protein powders or supplements are often considered essential for people to work out extensively regularly. If your sibling enjoys working out regularly, a protein supplement might work as a great gift for them this Raksha Bandhan. Fortunately, there are a variety of brands, flavours, and ingredients you can choose from based on your sibling's preferences.
