Alisa’s Travel Survival Tips: How to Stay Healthy On-the-Go!
It’s been quite a few busy weeks since the launch of WomanCode, and as I gear up for book tour dates and events (including my launch party in NYC on April 23rd!) I’ve been practicing my best strategies for staying in the FLO when traveling. And as I’m sure you’re gearing up for your own summer travel plans, I thought it would be the perfect time to share these key strategies with you!
Here are my top 5 Travel Survival Tips and what to pack for each!
1. Keep your bathroom habits regular by packing these digestion essentials:
- Fiber supplements - Try these Flax Paks for your traveling convenience!
- Probiotics - Travel only with the capsules that are room-temperature-friendly likethese from Jarrow
- Digestive Enzymes - These can be super supportive if you are eating food you might not be used to. The Rainbow Light brand is one of my favorites!
- Water - a simple yet crucial ingredient! Staying hydrated while traveling is essential.
2. Protect your blood sugar balance by packing these snacks:
- Lara bars or Pure Organic bars - Simple ingredients, great taste, and easy to keep in your bag!
- Hard-boiled eggs - An easy way to get some protein in on the go!
- Dark Chocolate (70% or higher) - This will help you avoid some of the other sweets you’ll find in the airport that won’t be as good for you or your blood sugar balance.
3. Safeguard your immune system with these supplements:
- Vitamin C - Be liberal with the Vitamin C! 2,000 - 4,000 mg per day is ideal
- Zinc - 50 mg per day is also key for your immune system
4. Stay refreshed with these goodies:
- Lavender essential oil - This is my multi-purpose go-to oil! Just smelling it can help clear up headaches and promote relaxation. You can also apply it to skin blemishes and let it’s natural antibacterial action work its magic.
- Cleansing Towelettes - I love Herban Essentials’ travel towelette packs! In lemon, eucalyptus, and yes, lavender, they are great for cleansing your hands or face when stuck on an airplane.
5. Get those zzz’s and keep stress low no matter where you go with these key ingredients:
- Magnesium - preferably in the powdered ionic form (Natural CALM is our favorite brand) taken with water before going to sleep. They even come in convenient travel packs!
- Valerian & Passion Flower - key herbs to take 30 minutes before going to sleep will help pull you into la-la-land.
- Eye mask - bring something to cover your eyes while on the plane or in your hotel. The darkness will help your body’s natural melatonin production, making those zzz’s easier to get!
