Healthy Travel Prep: Quick Tips

– Hydration on the go: Carry flavour packets. My favourite drink mix contains 3 grams of electrolytes that hydrate and add flavour to city tap water or bottle of water you purchase at the store. If you are packing light, you do not need to bring your own drink containers on your trip.

– Smart Lunch options: Before lunch or dinner, eat a handful of nuts to add protein to your meal. While traveling, your meals may not be as balanced or may contain less protein than at home.

-Focus on Neat Movement: You will be on a flight, spend the time at the airport standing or walking around. Track your mileage on your phone. Make sure to use the bathroom before getting on the plane and limit what you eat while flying. Grab a beverage when you land to drink while going through customs and picking up your luggage.

Sleep: Take ear buds and a travel pillow. You can buy a travel pillow at the airport for around ten dollars and give it to someone as a gift. Once you are at your destination, stay awake as long as you can to avoid jet lag. Carry a compact eye mask, earplugs, a small pillow, and a reusable tote for day trips.

Travel health kit: Grab the first aid kit you created for traveling and make sure it includes: basic bandages, antiseptic wipes, pain relievers, any personal meds, homemade ginger candy.
