6 Best Tips - Healthy Travel

#1 Before you go---check that any prescription medicine is in your carry-on bag not a checked suitcase. I had a group on a 4-day tour and one of the men had left his meds on the counter to take in the morning. In the hurry to leave, he forgot to put them in his carry-on bag. Fortunately, he was able to reach his healthcare provider and have prescriptions sent to a local drugstore. Bring copies of your prescriptions whenever you travel.

#2  Stick to a healthy diet when traveling. Have fruit and cereal for breakfast rather than high-calorie carbs. Those FREE hotel breakfasts can be costly to your health and energy. The high carb foods burn quickly and can put you in a slump.

#3  Walk whenever you can. If on a tour and sitting on a bus most of the day, you can curtail your good circulation. If a good walk is not possible, exercise in your hotel room before and after spending the day's outing

#4  Keep your brain healthy. Read about the area you are in; use your imagination to visualize places you read about but won't get to see.

#5  Take a multi-vitamin to ensure you have all your daily recommended amounts for ultimate health. Get some sunshine to up the miracle drug, Vitamin D.

#6  If you are traveling different time zone, prepare for the change. Having jet lag can ruin the first part of your trip.
