One of the busiest travel months of the year is upon us.
The excitement of
visiting family and friends is palpable as people jump on planes, trains, and
automobiles for a few days spent with their loved ones.
You don’t have
to sacrifice your healthy routine while traveling this season with these
helpful tips:
-
Pack your own snacks. Whether it’s a long road trip
or a train ride, packing your own food can help you stay on track with
healthy eating. Here are some snack ideas from our Certified Registered
Dietitians:
-
Keep washing your hands! We know this is a mindless routine
when it comes to preparing food or using the restroom, but remember to wash
or sanitize your hands after being on public transportation or in crowded
areas.
-
Don’t forget to drink water, especially if you are thirsty. Staying hydrated can help improve your energy and get you prepared for a
long travel day ahead. Invest in a reusable water bottle and customize it
with stickers to make drinking water fun.
-
Get plenty of sleep. Once you reach your destination, try
to prioritize sleep, especially the first night. There’s plenty of
eating, drinking, and socializing ahead, so save your energy and get ready
to celebrate the holiday spirit!
