*This post is sponsored by Puritans Pride to help us stay healthy this holiday travel season*
The holidays are near and with that means there will be plenty of holiday travels for many of you. Off to Moms or Grandma’s house for the big Christmas vacation is on a lot of people calenders. While traveling during the holidays is exciting, especially for the kids, it can also be draining, mentally, physically, and leave you feeling not at your best. Staying healthy this time of year is important for everyone and we have some tips that can help you feel your best when traveling.
Brooke Alpert, M.S., R.D., C.D.N., of B Nutritious and author of The Sugar Detox, (Da Capo, 2013) is a paid spokesperson for Puritan’s Pride. She has some easy-to-follow suggestions for healthy holiday travel:
7 Tips For Staying Healthy During Holiday Travel
1. Keep your body fueled – Hunger can make already stressful situations worse. With possible delays ahead, pack a couple healthy snacks in your carry-on luggage. Airport or convenience store food usually has low nutritional value and is costly.
2. Support Your Energy Metabolism and Immunity*– Holiday travel means increased activities, and higher. Add a daily probiotic to help keep your immune system and your gut regular and in the holiday spirit!* Puritan’s Pride Probiotic 10 is one suggestion.
3. Stretch Your Legs During the Journey – This is particularly important during long flights, when blood clots can occur in your legs. It’s a good idea to get up and walk through the cabin about once an hour, and move your legs, feet and ankles regularly while in your seat.
4. Help your Digestive Health* – During the holidays, rich foods, alcohol drinks and extra desserts are indulgences that can take a toll on bodies, leaving us feeling sluggish. Consider adding Puritan’s Pride Herbal Laxative, which contains ingredients that have been traditionally used to gently support regularity.*
5. Help for Motion Sickness – For some, travel can cause occasional nausea and motion sickness. While common in cooking, Ginger Root can be a way to help with the unpleasantness of occasional motion sickness.* Taking Puritan’s Pride Ginger Root can also help to ease a sour stomach.*
6.Get enough sleep– Most adults should get 7-8 hours of sleep each night. Staying well-rested is a great counter to stress.
7. Relax with Tea – Peppermint tea has numerous benefits and is perfect to sip when you are unwinding from the stresses of holiday travel. Enjoy a cup of naturally caffeine free Organic Peppermint Tea either hot or cold.
