Healthier Travel Tips
Hello B Better Fam!We’re flying again today so I thought I’d share some travel tips to keep it as healthy as possible.
Travel throws everyone off of their routine, but with a little preparation ahead of time, it can be a healthier experience.
Before the flight:
- Before going to the airport, have a green smoothie or cup of bone broth (or make the smoothie with bone broth as the liquid!) to help curb appetite, keep you hydrated, and remove unhealthy temptations around you. Juice/smoothie bars are more common in airports nowadays, so you can always grab one there instead. Just be sure it’s more veg than fruit to avoid a massive glucose spike/insulin release.
Food/beverage options to pack in your carry-on:- assortment of raw veggies for snacking on the plane (cucumbers, carrots, celery, peppers, broccoli). As long as you eat them before arriving to your destination, they allow fresh produce on the outbound flight.
- homemade organic popcorn in a sealable bag for snacking on the plane or while touring. This keeps the kids happy too.
- Sealable bag of mixed nuts (walnuts, almonds, pine nuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, raisins, small round figs) in case hunger strikes
- Sealable bag of organic oats sprinkled with cinnamon, a date and few walnuts. This can be used on the plane or at the hotel. All you need to ask for is hot water. Piece the date into small pieces, pour the hot water over the oats and let it sit until water is soaked. Then add walnut pieces for added crunch.
- Small packs of dried organic green powder (i.e. Ora Greens Powder, Peak Performance Greens Superfood Powder, Barlean’s Organic Green’s Powder). If they don’t have small packets, you can individually portion them into sealable bags yourself. This is great to have in case you won’t have access to many greens. Just mix with coconut water for a quick hydrating & nourishing snack.
- A re-useable glass or stainless-steel water bottle. Carry it around with you wherever you go to keep hydrated. Make sure it’s empty at security and refill it on the plane. Electrolyte packets can also be helpful to stay hydrated during travel.
After the flight:- Pack 2 cups of Epsom Salt (magnesium sulfate) in a resealable bag & soak in a bath for 15 minutes in clean filtered water after travel to help detoxify from the cosmic radiation exposure from the airplane.
- Ground outside on a natural surface (bare feet) as soon as you can and for as long as you can (every little bit counts!) to help reset your circadian rhythm with the time zone change.
