Healthy Heart Tip: Happy Healthy Father’s Day
Whether you’re a father or taking on a fatherly role it’s time to celebrate you all this Sunday the 19th of June. Why not try making this a fun healthy day for all the family to remember? Here are a few of our tips to do just that.
Healthy gifts

Instead of the standard box of chocolates or bottle of beer why not buy your ‘father’ an activity day out, such as paintballing, or a set of cooking classes you can attend together or as a family.
Heart healthy breakfast in bed

Pull out all the stops and earn bonus points by providing a heart healthy breakfast in bed. Instead of a greasy fry-up why not provide a breakfast full of omega-3 for a healthy heart. A poached egg, smoked salmon and avocado on multi-seeded toast is easy to make, healthy and delicious!
Keep their memory alive

If you’re one of the many who have lost their father/father figure why not plan a walking route where you visit a meaningful place to reflect on happy memories. Get out in the fresh air and send that special person your love.
