Traveling is awesome!


Helpful tips to stay healthier during travel:

  • Eat more Protein.
  • Drink lot of water.
  • Find time for a deliberate activity. Workouts, jogging, stretching, specific movements for recovering the body.
  • Take care of the feet. They are super important because they will take you where you need to go.
  • Did I say drink lots of water? yes, yes I did. try to match 1:1 ratio with sugar sweetened beverages (virgin fruity drinks) or alcohol drinks. Along with the typical water you ought to drink.
  • Foods tend to be more rich during vacation. Start meals off with protein, include healthy fats. Then the likelihood of over consumption of donut/pastry like foods is going to go down.
  • When the day is finished, strive to go to sleep as soon as convenient. Don't spend more time doing things that are very unproductive. Like tv watching.
  • RELAX, relaxation is super important. Just be present where you are and what you are doing. Find time to just sit in the lounger chair next to the pool, or a stoop somewhere within the hike your on and relax.

    • Activity will increase during your vacation, so though your routine and lifestyle will be disrupted, some indulgences are not going to negatively impact your goals on health and fitness. Don't stress that. just enjoy.

    Cortisol is the stress hormone. During vacation the stress levels should be different and go down overall. Even having a shift in total stress going from work life balance should make a huge impact as compared to when you're on vacation.

    Enjoy your time when you go. Take extra care of planning so that you don't have to waste your time during vacationing to question what you are going to do. While at the same time it is okay to change that plan and have an audible to do something different. It is your vacation enjoy it.


    Thanks as always.
