ST. LOUIS, Dec. 4 (UPI) -- This holiday season, U.S. health professionals suggest giving gifts that promote healthier living.
Physicians, therapists, and dietitians at Saint Louis University Medical Center in Missouri suggest giving:
-- Active wear, pedometers, and active video games such as Dance Revolution, the Nintendo Wii and Guitar Hero to promote fitness.
-- Appetizer plates because they help with portion control for those wanting to lose weight.
-- Sudoku, crossword puzzles, chess and challenging literary classics help strengthen mental ability.
-- Eye pillows, meditation CDs or yoga lessons help anyone who needs a break from everyday stress.
-- A Mediterranean cookbook limits red meat and combines fresh vegetables, fruit, fish and olive oil in heart-healthy recipes.
-- An electronic toothbrush to a child because children like gadgets so they will brush longer.
-- Sunglasses to protect eyes from ultraviolet radiation, which can cause cataracts.
-- Topical antioxidants such as Prevage or Revale can help stop the signs of aging and do not require a prescription but are available only from a physician.
