Diwali Gift Ideas for a Better, Healthier Life

Health conscious people usually end up in a fix during Diwali, what with the rise in air pollution and unhealthy food. Finding good gifts for these people is not hard but that’s what we are here for. From air purifiers to anti-pollution air masks, there’s something for everyone here, but the health conscious will definitely like these Diwali gift ideas.

Five Affordable Diwali Gifts Every Runner Will Love

Air purifier
An air purifier is a good investment if you live in the cities in India, where air quality hovers between hazardous and fatal. We’ve written detailed guides to help you find the best air purifier in India so you can read that to choose for yourself. The Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier 2 offers the best value for money, so that’s the one we’re picking for this guide.

You can buy a Mi Air Purifier 2 for Rs. 8,499

Air mask
An air purifier will take care of you inside your home but when you’re outside, there’s not much you can do short of wearing an anti-pollution air mask. We also have a detailed guide about buying the right air mask to counter pollution in India and you should definitely read that to understand this subject better. We’ve used Vogmask and that’s the product we’d recommend this Diwali.

Fitness band
An activity and sleep tracker is one of the best gifts you can give to anyone who’s just beginning to get into fitness. For those who don’t have any fitness band, we recommend Xiaomi Mi Band 2 as it tracks your activity, sleep, and has a long battery life, while coming in at a very pocket-friendly price.

Fitness app subscriptions
Fitness app subscriptions are very useful if they’re comprehensive — they cover both coaching and diet plans. These days online fitness services are aplenty, but HealthifyMe is among the better ones in India so that’s our pick for gifting. It offers fitness coaching, nutrition plans, and even an activity tracker if you need one to stay fit beyond Diwali 2017.

Buy HealthifyMe subscription from Rs. 999 to Rs. 1,499 per month

Electric toothbrush
Electric toothbrushes aren’t a necessity by any stretch of the imagination but who says gifts have to be something you need? There aren’t too many options available out there but people we’ve spoken to recommend Oral-B’s Pro 2000. There’s a cheaper variant at Rs. 400 but we suggest you avoid that as its powerhead doesn’t clean teeth as effectively as the more expensive model.

Juicer
Canned juice is no substitute for fresh juice and you can always encourage someone to switch to a healthy alternative. Fresh juices are a great alternative to unhealthy soft drinks as long as you’re willing to put in some effort and buy fruits. We haven’t tested any of these but based on the consumer reviews, this one from Philips seems like a good option. Otherwise, check out some more choices in the link below, to find the one that's right for you.
