It can be challenging to stay healthy and on track with your health goals when you’re not in total control of your meals and time.
Here are some tips for staying healthy and feeling good while traveling:
Pack staples!
Things like nut butter, trail mix, tuna pouches, hard-boiled eggs, grass fed beef jerky, fruit, cut-up veggies and travel-size hummus packages are nutritious snacks that can hold you over when needed.
Make sure to stay hydrated
Bring a refillable water bottle and fill it often. Drink plenty of fluids, avoiding alcoholic beverages and excessive caffeine. Air traveling can be very especially dehydrating. Pack electrolyte packages to mix in with water to keep you hydrated longer.
Look for nutrituous options
If you plan to eat out, do some research to find places that have healthy options. If you have dietary restrictions, contact the eateries that you’re interested in and see if they can accommodate you.
Take your supplements
To fill in any nutritional gaps, think about taking immune-supporting supplements daily such as Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, and Zinc. Taking a broad-spectrum probiotic can be helpful too as flying can upset your gut bacteria as can eating different foods and being in a different environment.
And of course, the most important thing is to remember to relax once you arrive and enjoy the break! Stress reduction is HUGE when it comes to our health.
Happy travels!
