Jane Wakefield at the AcropolisSummer travel can be a wonderfully rewarding experience.  Unfortunately, many people get sick right before or during their trip and it can make the whole experience simply uncomfortable. 

It's not uncommon to get stressed out just before a trip.  Then, when you finally slow down for a vacation, the body uses the opportunity to clean house.  It doesn’t know that you want to have fun.  Instead, it uses the down time to cleanse out the toxic waste that has built up.  This leads to colds or other discomforts that can ruin your trip.  So, taking the time to stay healthy while traveling can be worth the extra effort.  Here are 5 tips for healthy travel:

  1. Stay hydrated.  People tend to drink the wrong liquids while traveling and don’t drink enough of the right liquids.  You get on a plane and they bring drinks around, like coffee, sodas, and alcohol.  All of these are dehydrating. And, many people drink more alcohol on trips.  This is especially dehydrating, so drinking the right beverages to wash away the unwanted waste and toxins can be extremely beneficial and productive.  Calli TeaCalli Tea and Fortune Delight are the healthiest, cleansing beverages we know of to enhance the cleansing processes and make your water intake more productive.  

  2. Create a simple exercise, stretching or yoga routine that you can do anywhere.  Even if it is as simple as stretching your arms over your head and breathing deeply a few times, just getting in touch with your body can have a hugeExercise video clip of low back pain prevention exercises impact on your overall well being.
