Stay Healthy While You’re On Vacation
We all know that traveling can bring lots and lots of germs to the territory. Whether you are traveling by bus, plane, or train, germs are everywhere. The worst thing that can happen is you will get sick while you’re on vacation. And let’s be honest, we don’t want that to happen. So here are 7 Tips to Stay Healthy While You Travel:
Stay Hydrated
Pack a reusable water bottle or two. Fill it up and drink water throughout the day. Airplanes are very dry and can easily dehydrate you. As soon as you get through airport security fill your water bottle up and drink drink drink! Free booze on the plane sounds tempting but it’s best to skip it. You don’t want to start your trip off with a headache anyways. The Vapur Eclipse Water Bottle is collapsible and will save you a lot of space in your suitcase.
Workout
Find an easy workout routine you can do outside, in your room, or the hotel gym. For most people working out is the last thing you want to do while on vacation, but working out boosts your immune system. Walking around the city counts as a workout too! Skip the taxi and walk if you can.
Eat Healthy
Food is one of the best parts of traveling. Try your best to stick to a healthy diet and allow yourself to indulge once a day. Have a healthy breakfast with eggs, yogurt, whole grain toast, fresh fruits, or other healthy alternatives. Allow yourself to indulge at lunch or dinner but not more than once a day as this can leave your body feeling sluggish. Most places will have local markets where you can pick up fresh fruits, veggies, meats, nuts, and more to help you stay healthy!
Keep Snacks Handy
Healthy snacks like fresh fruit, nuts, and protein bars are key to preventing you from splurging and overeating. Having healthy snacks handy will boost your immune system and give you energy as you’ll be on the go almost every day. Having something handy to snack on is a great way to try new things when you travel too. If you love to make your snacks, these recipes will be sure to keep your belly full. 
Stick to Your Routines
If you have medicine or vitamins that you take every day, make sure to pack enough for the duration of your trip and pack extras just in case. If you have a daily skincare routine that you do, pack all of your soaps, creams, and serums as they may not be available in the country that you’re traveling to. If you do meditation or yoga every morning at home, stick to that routine while you’re abroad too to help you stay balanced.
Disinfect Your Area
You’ll be touching a lot of things that you normally don’t come in touch with regularly. Airplane tables, train seats, and bus armrests contain more germs than almost any other surface. Flight attendants have very little time to disinfect before flights so bring disinfectant wipes to wipe off armrests, tray tables, touch screens, and headphones. Norovirus and the Flu Virus are commonly found on these surfaces and can live days to weeks on inanimate surfaces. It’s always better to be on the safe side.
Wash Your Hands
Your hands will be coming in contact with everything around you. Be sure to carry antiseptic wipes, hand sanitizer, and soap depending on where you are going. If you are visiting countries where sanitation is not up to par like in the Western world, bring soap with you. Washing your hands is the easiest way to stay healthy and kill germs.
