Summer is here! With it comes family vacation, and too often sickness comes hand in hand with your family trip. However, today we are going to share 5 easy tips to keep you and your family staying healthy:
Sleep - We all look forward to sleeping in and taking naps on vacation, but sleep is such an important part of keeping our body healthy. Traveling into different time zones, carrying luggage, and walking more than normal can all be harsh on your body and its immune system. Sleeping allows our body to regenerate and wake up renewed and ready for the next day of vacation adventures!
Hydrate - It can be easy to forgo water while traveling, especially if a road trip makes it inconvenient to find a bathroom. But water is vital to our body, and we need to make sure that we stay hydrated. When you are out during the day while on vacation, make an effort to carry a water bottle with you, just in case drinking water is not easily found while you are exploring.
Eat Healthy - Vacation is often viewed as a time to indulge, but eating poorly can leave you feeling poorly! Make sure to eat balanced meals with lots of veggies and fruits while you are traveling to make sure your body gets the vitamins and nutrients it needs to sty healthy.
SPF - Don’t forget your skin! Make sure to put on sunscreen anytime you are headed outdoors, even if it is just for a 15 minute walk or a picnic lunch.
Wash your Hands - It’s easy to get caught up in your trip and forget to wash your hands before meals, but especially when traveling out of the country, washing your hands before eating can kill nasty germs. If you aren’t sure of the sanitation routine where you are traveling, make sure to take hand sanitizer with you.
Follow these tips to stay healthy while on your family vacation this summer and ensure that you bring back happy memories from your trip, not a nasty bug or cold!
