Traveling on the road: how to stay healthy during the journey?
Every month I pack my bags and start a journey, whether by plane, train or car. Whether for work, family or holiday, I always find myself confused-how to stay healthy during the trip? Whether on business, visiting relatives or on vacation, I always face the same problem-how to stay healthy during the trip? I used to use travel as an excuse to get rid of healthy habits, but I learned from a painful lesson that such injuries are difficult to eliminate. From then on, I understand that with little effort, I can keep fit, not get sick, enjoy traveling, and be happy when I return to the reality of daily life. I used to use travel as an excuse to get rid of healthy habits, but later I found it difficult to recover the damage to my body. Later, I gradually realized that with a little effort, I can enjoy the trip, stay in shape without getting sick, and I still feel very happy when I return to my normal life after the trip. 1. Let's move. Walk around! Although only about 1 of the 4,500 passengers on the plane developed blood clots (npr.com), you should still make every effort to walk around the plane, whether standing in the aisle (once you reach a proper flying height) or walking to the toilet. Stop over? Don't sit still (you will do a lot on the plane), make sure to walk around the airport. Go to road trip? Stop and walk more. This is also a good opportunity to visit scenic spots on the way! Once you reach your position, don't forget to consider exercising. Whether you are working out in your hotel, hiking or taking public transportation for a walk, you will feel much better if you take part in some activities. Although the probability of air passengers suffering from thrombosis is only 1/4500, you should still walk around the plane as much as possible, even if you just stand in the aisle for a while (but wait until the plane reaches the right height) or walk to the bathroom. If you want to transfer, don't sit (you've been sitting on the plane long enough), but be sure to walk around the airport. If you want to go to road trip, stop and walk more.

In the airport and road trip, you will pass countless fast food restaurants. Although these seem convenient, they are not the healthiest. I like to pack snacks. These snacks do not exceed my daily calorie budget, and each serving does not exceed 100 calories. When traveling and buying food, I try to choose fresh fruits and vegetables (not only healthy, but also rich in vitamins! ) Fast food is the only choice. Are you hungry? Stick to simple foods (such as children's meals), and whatever you do, don't eat too much. No matter at the airport or on the road, you will pass countless fast food restaurants.

It's difficult to completely avoid bacteria, but the last thing you want to do is to get sick or worse, get sick during the trip. Carry disinfectant wipes with you. They are very convenient, from wiping your seat on the plane to even cleaning the garbage in the hotel. When there is no soap in public toilets, carry antibacterial gel or paper soap. Most importantly, stick to your vitamin regimen and make sure you get enough vitamin C!

Very useful, it can be used to clean the seats on the plane, and it can also help you clean up the mess in the hotel. Carry antibacterial hand sanitizer or paper soap with you to avoid running out of soap in public toilets. The most important thing is to stick to your vitamin regimen and ensure adequate vitamin C intake! 4. Hydrate hydrate. Water, water, water. Because of the low humidity on the plane, many of us will find ourselves thirstier than ever. Don't want to pay the airport water bill? Take an empty bottle with you, fill it with water next to the water dispenser, and then take it on the plane. Lucky enough to take a flight with free drinks? Choose water. Make sure that during a day trip, etc. Always carry water with you. Water can also help you feel full between meals, so that you can eat healthily all day.
