Soul Story Travel Tips To Stay Healthy While Traveling

Soul Story Travel Tips To Stay Healthy While Traveling

Your Exercise Shoes

Get your daily exercise by walking and using the stairs.  Many cities are designed to be pedestrian friendly, you’ll find it easy to walk 10 km a day. Even if you’re not walking much, it’s likely you’ll still be spending far more time on your feet than you do during a regular work week.  Walk up the stairs instead of using the escalators or elevators.

In Room Workouts

If you don’t have access to a gym while you’re traveling, do variations of these exercises in your room.

Planks (various types of planks), pushups, squats (various types of squats), lunges, half bridge poses, triceps dips & step ups.  And cardio: jumping jacks, mountain climber, and running on one spot

Alternatively, get guidance by using a YouTube fitness video and/or download a fitness app to help guide you through a workout.  Even better, Skype or FaceTime a session with your personal trainer.

Eat Healthy Breakfasts

Make healthy choices if you are eating out for breakfast.

Make healthy choices if you are eating out for breakfast.  For example, if you’re at Starbucks, select the spinach and feta breakfast wrap or a turkey bacon sandwich.  For hassle-free meal, pack your own oatmeal that you can eat on your flight or from your hotel room.  Avoid buffets and if you can, order from the a la Carte menu.

Go Bananas

“Most flights don’t offer healthy snacks, so for the plane, pack fruits and vegetables. The easiest is a banana, which also offers much-needed hydration and potassium.

Hydrate

Drink Enough Water

Drink Enough Water

Drink enough before, during and after your flight.  Limit alcohol and sweet drinks as they are high in sugar and calories.  Alcohol can also disrupt your sleep and dehydrate you.  Once you arrive to your travel destination, carry a water bottle with you all times.  Your body will thank you.

Take Your Vitamins & Supplements

Since it can be difficult to eat healthy balanced meals, take your vitamins and supplements to keep your immune system strong to defend your body against viruses and bacteria.

Pack Hand Sanitizers & Wipes

To prevent the spread of germs and bacteria, make sure you wash your hands or use hand sanitizer before you eat or touch your face.  It will also be useful when you use public restrooms without water and/or soap.

Protect Your Skin

While traveling, pack your cleanser, moisturizer and most importantly, your sunscreen.  Wear your oxybenzone-free sunscreen with broad spectrum to protect your from both UVA and UVB rays.  Reapply every two hours if you can. For extra protection from the sun, wear sunglasses and hat.

At the end of the day, wash with a gentle cleanser without sulfates such as sodium laureth sulfate (SLS), and sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES).  Keep your skin moisturized by applying right after you cleanse and before you apply your sunscreen.  It is also important to keep your skin hydrated during your flight, reapply your moisturizer every few hours.

Sleep

Sleep plays an important role for your overall health and especially while you’re traveling.

Sleep plays an important role for your overall health and especially while you’re traveling.  Since travelling can be hard on your body and skin from changing time zones and walking all day, it is important to listen to your body and rest.  ‘Getting a good night’s sleep can make us feel ready to take on the world’.
