Christmas shopping can be a major headache. Your patients have to choose between scrolling for hours on Amazon and fighting through

crowds at the local mall. But you can save them the hassle! All you need to do is stock your office with helpful products they can buy as stocking stuffers. Ensure the four items listed here are available near your front desk this holiday season. Your patients can score easy gifts, and you’ll make extra revenue.

According to Our World in Data, the world manufactures more than 270 million tons of plastic annually. About 8 million tons of this plastic winds up in the ocean — that’s 3%!

Plogging, a fad that originated in Sweden to help minimize pollution, is taking the world by storm. Essentially, you jog and pick up litter at the same time! Some cardio and a giant clean-up effort? It’s a great way to enjoy the cool winter temperatures while doing something good for the environment! Plogging can be done with others, at any time, and pretty much anywhere litter or trash exists. It’s a win-win! The origin of the word “plogging,” according to the Farmer’s Almanac, comes from a combination of jogging and the Swedish word for “pick up,” which is “plocka upp.” All you need is a pair of running shoes, a trash bag, stamina, some free time, and water to stay hydrated! If you’re interested in taking up the hobby or plogging every now and then to make a difference in our environment, here are some tips to keep the activity fun and interesting! HEAD OUT IN GROUPS. Everything is more fun with others! Round up a group of friends, family, or coworkers and join the initiative together. If you’re up for it, you can even make it a contest!

MUST-HAVE GIFT NO. 1: ARCHIES ARCH SUPPORT FLIP-FLOPS

Archies are the shoe of choice for professional athletes, physiotherapists, and podiatrists. It might seem counterintuitive to sell flip-flops when it’s cold outside, but these are fast sellers year-round. Flip-flops inspire people to dream up their next tropical vacation, and these particular pairs are unique because they look like “normal” flip-flops but offer the support and comfort of an orthotic. MUST-HAVE GIFT NO. 2: HEARTNSOLES BLUELINE CUSHION FOAM INSOLES These insoles will come to the rescue when it’s too cold to wear Archies. They are a unisex product (just like Archies!), making it easy for your patients to buy for everyone on their Christmas list. The insoles fit in just about any shoe and are

ADD IN DIFFERENT EXERCISES. Plogging doesn’t only have to incorporate jogging — while gathering trash; you can do squats, burpees, lunges, or even pushups. SWITCH UP ARMS. While plogging, holding the garbage bag in the same hand can become uncomfortable, especially as that bag gets heavier! Be sure to change which arm holds it from time to time! INCORPORATE SPRINTS. If jogging becomes too simple for you, try sprinting between trash to intensify the activity. Plogging is a great way to reduce pollution while getting in your workout! Local parks, neighborhoods, and common areas are a great place to start!
