Ways to Keep Healthy During Holiday Travels
The holiday season is right around the corner, and that means millions of Americans are preparing to travel to see loved ones. Although this may be an exciting time of year, the long distances in the car or on a plane can put demands on our bodies. Staying healthy on the road can be challenging, but it’s not impossible. Following these tips to stay healthy while traveling during the holidays can help to minimize stress and improve immunity over the season.
Take food on trips. Gas station food and airplane food is not the healthiest, nor cheapest. A good suggestion to avoid unnecessary calories and fast food is to take your own snacks. Remember to take your own water bottle too so that you can refill it on the way rather than buy countless plastic bottles.
Stay hydrated. Especially if you are flying to your destination! The air conditioning in planes can quickly dry you out, so it’s wise to keep sipping on water throughout your journey. Staying hydrated also helps you to stay alert and decreases nausea and fatigue.
Be aware of your portions. You may be tempted to try everything on the buffet table, but it’s a good idea to fill your plate up sensibly so that you don’t overindulge and then feel the aftereffects. Remember to fill up on fresh fruit and vegetables – which we often forget about during the holidays.
Walk more. If you’re flying to see friends and family, you may be without a car once you’re there. This presents a great opportunity to walk more often! Even if you do have a car, encourage your loved ones to go on a stroll around the block after dinner and play activities outside in the fresh air.
Enjoy yourself. Eat slowly and savor each bite. Engage in conversation, laugh, and enjoy celebrating with friends and family!
