Dads sometimes need a little coaxing in the wellness department. (Hey, they don’t get those dad bods for nothin!) In general, moms seem to embrace a whole-person approach to health and wellness more readily. But let’s not give dads the short shrift. They have endless potential – and we’re here to embrace that and help guide them toward a healthier lifestyle in every way we can.
That’s why we scoured the interwebs to find the best lifestyle and fitness products to give a dad you love this Father’s Day – even if he thinks he doesn’t need it.
10 Best Healthy Gifts for Dad
1. Go 3 Smartphone Sanitizer & Portable Charger

It’s no wonder that all the anti-virus protocols call for washing your hands day and night. That’s because all the germs on our hands (and our phones!) can enter our bodies through our nose, mouth and eyes. This gift will help Dad to keep his phone germ-free and keep those colds and viruses at bay. Phone Soap’s smartphone sanitizer is battery-powered and portable for a squeaky clean phone 24/7.
2. Prana Verde Yoga Mat Large

This eco-friendly, grippy yoga mat will help dad work on his “Cool Quotient” or CQ. We love the extra large one for dad, but it comes in a smaller size as well.
3. Nordic Ware Nonstick Backsplash Griddle

The next time dad decides to make breakfast for the fam, help make it healthier with this backsplash griddle. The cast aluminum, PFOA-free nonstick surface makes for cleaner cooking and less carcinogens from burnt, stuck-to-the-griddle food. A sloped angle lets grease and liquids run off (and pool in a well away from food). It can even be placed on the grill for the next round of smash burgers (a conscious indulgence we recommend from time to time)!
4. Veritable Classic Smart Indoor Garden Grower

Dad doesn’t even have to have a green thumb to grow veggies indoors because the Veritable Garden takes care of everything! Available in 7 sizes and configurations, the patented system uses ready-to-use seed pods to grow up to 68 different veggies and herbs with no pesticides or GMOs. Make dad the gardener he never knew he wanted to be.
5. Jungle Culture Eco-Friendly Bamboo Safety Razor

Give dad the clean, close shave he deserves while also honoring Mother Earth.
6. Jungle Culture Shaving Soap Bars
