Your Ultimate Guide for a Happy Journey
Traveling , one of life’s true great pleasures, though it does a number on our healthy habits. Be it a weekend getaway or a month long journey, putting an emphasis on your health during these times is important. We know how important it is for you to travel well and so we’re tackling the essential health tips for travelers…so you can remain in optimum health and feel energized to seize the world!
1. Stay Hydrated
You really should just hydrate up on your jaunts. Dehydration causes fatigue, headaches and initializes your entire body. Never forget your reusable bottle and top it up wherever possible. For staying hydrated target at least 8-10 glasses a day, particularly when travelling by plane or on a road trip. Hydration – the key to wanderlust excitement!
2. Snack Pack Nutrition
Traveling means more irregular meals and irregular environments as you continue your journey. And, to combat your potential to impulse eat unhealthy foods, plan ahead with healthy travel nutrition snacks. Nuts, granola bars, dried fruit are all great options. While these snacks are somewhat nutritious, they will provide the fuel needed to keep your body sharp and a bit peppy along the way.
3. Option for Healthy Choices
When dining out, be moderate in your food orders. Opt for meals that are primarily vegetables, naturally raised lean protein and whole grains. Many restaurants now have a pretty good based menu so don’t be afraid to ask the restaurant staff for healthy options. It is possible to eat well on the road — just as long as you’re willing to do some thinking and leg work.
4. Make sleep a priority
Sleep is essential to health when traveling. Your body, the hours spent traveling, jet lag from time zone changes, waking up at awkward hours to make flights, and disrupted sleep schedules is not always easy. Try to get 7-9 hours of sleep each night, and do your best to establish a comforting/relaxing machine of sleep no matter the location. Travel pillows/eye masks can be great parts of the sleep machine too!
5. Physical Fitness
Integrating physical activities into your travel plans is one of the best healthy travel tips. It might be walking or biking around the city, hiking in nature or taking a class where you can move. It doesn’t really matter how you move, simply find ways to keep your body moving and this will benefit you physically and mentally. See if there are any local parks or trails that you can explore as part of your experience.
6. Practice being mindfully
Travelling can seem like a blur. Make it a point to memorize some Mindful (meditation, deep-breathing exercise, etc.) into each day. Just a moment a day for you can at least save your mental state of mind while travelling. There are a few travel apps that EVO have guided meditations that can help keep you grounded while travelling to new places.
7. Be Aware of Health Risks and Pack a first-aid kit
Depending on which destination you have selected, there may be local health risk that you need to be aware of. Before you travel, get vaccine advice and health disease exposure related alerts for your destination. You could bring a travel first-aid kit with basic medications and any prescriptions, if you had to try health care for an emergency.
