You don\u2019t have to say goodbye to those delicious flavors while you\u2019re on the go. But you can work to maintain a balanced diet. One easy trick? Pack a lot of healthy snacks, like whole or dried fruit, trail mix, and whole-grain pretzels and crackers. If you\u2019ve got those close at hand, you\u2019ll be less likely to be tempted by those easy-to-find, but less good-for-you eats \u2014 candy, chips, etc. \u2014 when you\u2019re feeling hungry. If you keep your snacks healthy, you\u2019ll be able to indulge in more of the fun, foodie explorations we all love.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Oh, and here\u2019s a little timeshare resort advantage for eating healthy: many resort accommodations include kitchens, so you can prep some of your own meals during your trip.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stay Hydrated<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, when we get that much needed change of scenery that travel can provide, we can lose sight of the basics. The most basic thing of all? Water. Staying hydrated while you travel is essential, even when it\u2019s not convenient at airports or rest stops. Pack a water bottle and fill it whenever you can. The benefits are many: you\u2019ll sleep better, you\u2019ll be safer from sicknesses \u2014&nbsp;even your mood will improve thanks to hydration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sleep!&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another basic, though this can be easier said than done. A lot of us have trouble sleeping when we\u2019re traveling. Unfamiliar beds can cause tossing and turning throughout the night. But getting plenty of sleep is key for enjoying your waking hours while traveling. One easy thing to do is to bring your own pillow along with you for a little comfort from home. Also, try to cut down on stimulants like caffeine \u2014&nbsp;even if that third cup of coffee is calling your name! Another option is trying out some natural sleep aids like melatonin, magnesium, and lavender. Finally, try to put away your various devices at least an hour prior to going to bed. Don\u2019t worry, Instagram will still be there in the morning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stretch It Out<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/healthy-travel-4-700x420.jpg?v=27c55e58cd8622424276d13eafd8ebfe\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6991\" width=\"835\" height=\"501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/healthy-travel-4-700x420.jpg?v=27c55e58cd8622424276d13eafd8ebfe 700w, https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/healthy-travel-4-250x150.jpg?v=27c55e58cd8622424276d13eafd8ebfe 250w, https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/healthy-travel-4-768x461.jpg?v=27c55e58cd8622424276d13eafd8ebfe 768w, https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/healthy-travel-4-1536x922.jpg?v=27c55e58cd8622424276d13eafd8ebfe 1536w, https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/healthy-travel-4-2048x1229.jpg?v=27c55e58cd8622424276d13eafd8ebfe 2048w, https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/healthy-travel-4-120x72.jpg?v=27c55e58cd8622424276d13eafd8ebfe 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 835px) 100vw, 835px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re flying or driving to your chosen destination, one thing is for sure: you\u2019re going to spend a lot of time sitting. Before you head out, dedicate 10 minutes to stretching your legs, neck, arms, and shoulders. Just that little bit of loosening up will work wonders for sore, aching muscles as you make your way to your resort. If you can, keep it up throughout your trip! Bring a packable yoga mat and stretch in your room, in the resort fitness center, or even outside! Giving your body a little extra attention is a great way to feel more alert and ready to take on the day. Bonus: you can do a little stretching before bed, too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Take Your Fitness Routine On The Road<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One silver lining of the remote work lifestyle that has come to the fore in recent years is that virtual fitness has gone from a novelty to a necessity. From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onepeloton.com\/\">Peloton<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindbodyonline.com\/explore\">Mindbody<\/a> and beyond, it\u2019s never been easier to bring your fitness routine with you when you travel, thanks to live and on-demand streaming workouts. Many of them just require a smartphone and a little space in which to move around. Even if you\u2019re just doing bite-sized workouts daily, you\u2019ll be keeping your body and mind active during your vacation. Also, remember to check ahead with your resort to see what kind of fitness offerings it has \u2014 many boast gyms, workout equipment to borrow, heated pools, and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redweek.com\/join?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=internal&amp;utm_campaign=healthy-travel-tips-2021\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/subscribe-winter-700x700.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6946\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/subscribe-winter-700x700.jpg?v=f0371fcae6eda4414aec3275605c1c80 700w, https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/subscribe-winter-250x250.jpg?v=f0371fcae6eda4414aec3275605c1c80 250w, https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/subscribe-winter-150x150.jpg?v=f0371fcae6eda4414aec3275605c1c80 150w, https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/subscribe-winter-768x768.jpg?v=f0371fcae6eda4414aec3275605c1c80 768w, https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/subscribe-winter-1536x1536.jpg?v=f0371fcae6eda4414aec3275605c1c80 1536w, https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/subscribe-winter-120x120.jpg?v=f0371fcae6eda4414aec3275605c1c80 120w, https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/subscribe-winter.jpg?v=f0371fcae6eda4414aec3275605c1c80 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redweek.com\/timeshare-rentals?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=internal&amp;utm_campaign=healthy-travel-tips-2021\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/winter-resorts-700x700.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6789\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/winter-resorts-700x700.jpg?v=a6513f34bc2c7d19f2fed0b7e867c096 700w, https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/winter-resorts-250x250.jpg?v=a6513f34bc2c7d19f2fed0b7e867c096 250w, https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/winter-resorts-150x150.jpg?v=a6513f34bc2c7d19f2fed0b7e867c096 150w, https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/winter-resorts-768x768.jpg?v=a6513f34bc2c7d19f2fed0b7e867c096 768w, https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/winter-resorts-1536x1536.jpg?v=a6513f34bc2c7d19f2fed0b7e867c096 1536w, https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/winter-resorts-120x120.jpg?v=a6513f34bc2c7d19f2fed0b7e867c096 120w, https:\/\/blog-origin.redweek.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/winter-resorts.jpg?v=a6513f34bc2c7d19f2fed0b7e867c096 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Staying healthy while you travel has become fundamentally important.
