Healthy Travel Tips to Take on Vacation

By Dr Mao

Summer is a big season for traveling, but don’t let it get you down! Here are some natural ways to keep your health and longevity intact on your journey.

Flexibility is Key to Stress-Free Travel

Travel can be stressful. You may miss a connecting flight, find out your bus isn’t leaving today, or that somehow your hotel reservations got misplaced. Before you give into stress, keep this in mind: travel is often unpredictable, and the easiest way to overcome the stress of encountering an unexpected sticky situation is to adopt an attitude of flexibility – it is all a part of your travel adventure. If you find yourself in a particularly stressful place, take a few deep breaths and try to put the problem in perspective so you will be ready to face the next step.

Be Prepared

No one plans on getting sick or injured during a vacation, but it is good to be prepared. Plan ahead and look up hospitals in the area, pack your insurance cards, medications and a first aid kit. Not only will this save you a headache and money, but it can also keep your vacation running smoothly.

Time-Out for Renewed Energy

Traveling is exciting and brings with it a new scene around every corner. It is easy to become so busy with your travel agenda that you forget to take care of your needs. So give yourself a breather! A little rest can go a long way – even a 15-minute nap or meditation session by yourself can reinvigorate you.

Combat motion sickness with ginger

Bonus Point – Ginger’s anti-inflammatory properties can also help at the onset of migraine headaches.

Drink up! 

Be sure to drink a lot of water and stay physically active. Traveling on an airplane for long periods of time can especially dehydrate you. Try an herbal tea to renew and recharge your body back into balance and to help relax you before bed.

Soak in some sun

Our body’s biological clock or circadian rhythm is tuned by light from the sun. In order to quickly restore your body’s clock while crossing multiple time zones, get into the sun without your sunglasses for as little as 30 minutes, as soon as you arrive at your destination if it’s daytime.

May you Live Long, Live Strong, and Live Happy!
