Traveling is a great way to spend time with
family, visit loved ones, or de-stress from your busy life! You can go on new
adventures, try new things and explore new places.
Below are some easy tips for staying healthy
while traveling:
1. Pack Healthy Foods
-Prepare a healthy trail mix, which may
include almonds, cashews, gogi berries, cacao nibs and walnuts. Or whatever mix
works for you!
-Cut up veggies, such as, carrots or celery
and bring along your favorite dip such as hummus or a bean dip!
-Before you head out the door, prepare your
favorite smoothie and put it in a to go mug.
-The night before you leave make a salad and
put it in a mason jar. Use a hearty lettuce like kale, which can be dressed
with your homemade salad dressing ahead of time.
-Pack a jar of almond butter and pre-sliced
apples.
-Pick up travel sized protein powders and
gluten free oatmeal packs and simply add water.
2. Plan Ahead
-Look up local, healthy restaurants or juice
bars in advance or call the concierge at your hotel for recommendations. Pull
up the menus and look for high quality foods that are grass-fed, local, and
organic. You can always call and ask questions ahead of time. Don’t forget to
ask your server about the ingredients. Is there dairy in this? Or gluten in the
dressing? It’s hard to know what hidden ingredients could be in your meal
without asking.
3. Find Local Health Food Stores
-Before you travel, research the closest
health food stores, such as, Whole Foods.
4. Make Sure To Hydrate
-Fill your water bottles with filtered water
and pack extra. It is really important to stay hydrated while traveling.
5. Stick To Your Normal Eating Routine as Much as Possible.
-Simply do your best to continue eating as if
you were at home, but don’t be too hard on yourself. Try something new and have
fun!
