Health essentials to keep me healthy while traveling

It’s no wonder that travel takes its toll on the body. We’re off our regular routines and maybe we sleep in a little and have a little more fun. For this reason, I always have packets of Emergen-C on hand. I want to enjoy every moment of my vacation, so if I’m feeling a little under the weather, these packets make sure that I can get a quick boost of electrolytes, vitamins, and minerals.

You may have seen advertisements for various green powders and wondered if they are really worth trying. I’m here to tell you, this one is 100 percent worth the hype. Getting your daily serving of fruits and vegetables on a regular basis can be difficult, and when you travel, it can sometimes be impossible. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve gone through an airport search without coughing, or in a country that survives on bread and cheese (I still love you, Paris), only to find that vegetables are nowhere to be found. . This has made my green powders an essential item on hand. When I’m feeling tired or craving vegetables, I add a few scoops to a little water, and I feel instantly refreshed.

There’s a reason they call it the “Jet Leg Mask.” Nothing dries out your skin more than travel – from hours spent on a plane to changes in weather. It’s great to try to make sure your skin gives off that Hailey Bieber glossy donut glow while you’re on the go, but I swear by this mask to help do the trick. Sometimes I just apply it under my eyes or take it as a face mask and leave it on for the flight. I might get a couple of sideways glances from my neighbors, but my skin is always flushed when I get off the plane.

I’ve spent years trying to overcome jet lag and looking for the best tips and tricks to get rid of it. I’ve tried melatonin, magnesium, and CBD for sleep, but my favorite, by far, is the Arraye sleep capsules. When you’re in a different time zone and can’t sleep on your own, it’s important to get help to help you adjust. These sleeping capsules help me fall asleep faster and don’t leave me feeling depressed from taking melatonin. Lack of sleep can affect our immune system, nervous system and general well-being. Getting enough sleep while traveling is important, and these pills help with this process.

Remember when we all had regular sized water bottles? Especially in summer we have to refill it frequently. Buying this water bottle has been a life changer on the go. No longer do I have to wait for the flight attendant to come over with a small cup of water (you know what I’m talking about) or make a pit stop on a road trip to fill up. Staying hydrated while traveling is very important. It keeps our skin looking fresh and our immune system strong, and this water bottle has been a key factor in all of the above.

I have not once regretted buying my noise canceling headphones. When you’re stuck on a plane in the middle of the night and struggling to sleep because of all the noise, you’ll be thankful you found it. Sometimes you can escape from the work of travel and take some time to relax and unwind. Being able to put my headphones down and disconnect no matter where I am is paradise.

I value my mental health as important as any other part of my body, and one way to take care of it is through meditation. Even when I’m on the go, I set aside some time in my day to meditate.

No matter where I am in the world, I can find time to meditate with this app.
