Support the dad bods

-

There are two major things you can invest in for the future and they are education and your health. Working out regularly has been proven to have a variety of benefits including, but not limited to, decreased stress levels, better overall cardiovasc­ular health, preventive effects on many common non-communicab­le chronic diseases such as hypertensi­on, diabetes, obesity and some cancers.

Father’s Day is exactly a week away. Every year, dads receive the usual clichéd gifts: hats, colognes, belts, ties, socks, watches, jewelry, tools, and the list goes on. Why not ditch the standard stuff this year and grab Dad something that reignites or fuels his passion for fitness?

Not sure where to start? How about a new gym membership? It will give your dad more energy, focus, and concentrat­ion. Regular exercise has been proven to help regulate hormones, and other chemicals in the body that keep your mind and body sharp. If he already has a gym membership, some supplement­s or protein powders for healthy shakes could be ideal.

As you probably know, protein is the macronutri­ent king when it comes to muscle growth and recovery. Top brands in multiple flavours with multiple sizes are available locally. This could be just the gift Dad needs to support his musclebuil­ding goals.

Testostero­ne is one of the most important hormones, governing multiple aspects of physical performanc­e, including muscle growth, strength gains, and libido. It’s a rough fact of life that every guy has to contend with, but as we get older, our testostero­ne production gradually begins to decline. There are many natural and scientific­ally formulated testostero­ne boosters designed to promote healthy test levels, facilitate muscle growth, and support a healthy sex drive, while also helping to boost your father’s performanc­e in the gym with increased energy, vitality, strength, and stamina.

Chances are, your dad already has enough shirts and ties, so you can show you support his 2022 gains with something that reps his gym style. T-shirts or vests made with a functional, form-fitting blend of cotton and polyester are the perfect choice. From hitting deadlifts to lying around, whatever Dad is doing, he’ll look good in his comfortabl­e ‘drip’.

Or you could go all out and get him a great fitness tracker to remind him to keep moving and track those gains you’re championin­g him to achieve.
