Give A Healthy Food Gift Basket - The Gift Of Life And Encouragement

 

A couple of years ago I never would have thought of giving a healthy food gift basket or for that matter writing a article on health foods. A trip down the highway with sirens screaming and the paramedics giving you nitroglycerin changes your prospective on life.
 

One of those perspectives you learn to change is what to give a friend or co-worker as a gift especially if they are going through similar life changing circumstances. You want to encourage them and let them know that there is hope and that you really care.

One of the best things you could give that person is a health food gift basket full of delicious, good for them, foods. Here are four reasons to give that gift of life.

Sign Of Encouragement

Being diagnosed as having cancer or just coming through a heart attack can be downright discouraging. You have the doctors and nurses sticking you all over with needles and instruments and then they give you all this literature to read telling you what you can't eat or do.

Then you have all your family and friends telling you the stories of people they know who have been through similar circumstance and the diet changes they have made or didn't change.

Every one is suddenly an expert on your situation and just full of "can't-do's", and your stuck in that silly gown, can't go hide and can't make the world go away. You just want to know that the worlds not coming to an end and that life can still be good and exciting.

Nothing will encourage you like good healthy food that not only looks good but tastes great. The type of food you like to eat. Let's get on with life. I can make it now.

 The Gift Of Life
Food is what gives us energy, gives us life. Without food you will die. So when you give a Heart Healthy Gourmet Food Basket you are giving a basket of life. And what a life it can be when you see all the great tasting foods you "can eat".

Doctors and nutritionist and friends are quick to tell us what we can't eat which gives us the impression that there ain't much good tasting food left for us to eat.

The health food gift basket brings that myth to a sudden end. Meats, cheeses, nuts, fruits and vegetables all there to savor and enjoy. A whole new perspective on what enjoying life can entail.

 Start a Good Habit
I like nuts, alway have, so when I was told to eliminate the salt I thought to my self there goes eating nuts because they don't taste good without salt. Boy was I wrong. Nuts are great just by themselves.

As a matter-of-fact they taste even more nuttier without the salt. The salt takes away some of the flavor of nuts and replaces it with the sharpness of salt. When you first taste the nuts by themselves you miss the saltiness and think they are bland and then the great flavor of the nuts themselves kicks in and "walla, What A Great Taste".

Unsalted roasted nuts are the "boss" and I enjoy a handful every night before I go to bed.

That's how you start a new habit - one handful at a time. When that health basket arrives and they start to enjoy the great taste of pure food, good eating habits are easily established.

We have been so ingrained as a nation by the fast food industry to believe that all good things need to be fried and salted to death - quite literally.

  A Sign You Really Care
When you really care for someone you naturally want to help them do whats best for themselves. Sending a health food gift basket is shouting "I want you to be around a looong time, so here's something special to get you started in achieving that long life".

You naturally want to do what's best for your friend or family member so what could be better than to give them a healthy food gift basket.
