Bhaidooj is here marking the end of the Diwali festivities! This festival is celebrated between a brother and sister and is quite similar to that of Rakshabandhan. On this occasion, the sister applies tikka to the brother’s forehead and wishes for his good health while the brother gives the sister a gift and lots of love. Sisters also plan on giving interesting return gifts to their loving brothers. So, on this day of sibling bonding, don’t just stick to the boring chocolates and sweets, gift them something different this time like a box full of healthy snacks or fruit baskets, stress-free life, and a gym membership. Here we are with a list of some amazing tips and unique ideas to keep your brother happy and healthy on this Bhaidooj. Take a look:
- Build healthy eating habits together: Right food is indeed the best medicine for the proper functioning of the body but with the wrong choice and wrong timing, our health can get adversely affected. Intake of fresh fruits and vegetables reduces the risk of many serious diseases. So, go ahead motivate each other to ‘Say No to Junk food and Yes to Healthy Food!’
- Invest in healthy gifting options: Regular gifting items like a chocolate box are too common and unhealthy at the same time. This year try to give something different and healthy at the same time. Look for nutty bars, roasted black chana or makhana, and a pack made with a mix of a variety of seeds, nuts like almonds, pistachios, cashews, and walnuts. They can increase nutrient intake, sustain energy levels, and improve the quality of diet.
- Help each other to lead a stress-free life: Stress can wreck and hamper the well-being of an individual. Help your siblings recognize the reason behind their stress and don’t let it hinder their happiness & mental peace. So, go out together for early morning meditation or yoga sessions for positive thinking, time management, and relaxation techniques to lead a stress-free life from this Bhaidooj.
- Gift a gym membership to your health freak brother: If your brother is a gym freak and loves to stay fit and healthy, this is the right time to plan a gym membership card. We are sure this will bring a bright smile to his face and boosts up his mood with this thoughtful gift of yours.
- Make healthy homemade sweets instead of buying them from outside: We all have a special corner for sweets and especially during the festivals it’s hard for us to resist any of these. So, instead of completely avoiding them you can make healthy alternatives like beetroot barfi, coconut ladoo, or baked gujiya for your brothers. This way your brothers can enjoy sweets guilt-free since homemade sweets can be healthy and tasty too.
