Often times we want to cram as many activities as we possibly can when traveling. You may stay up much later, drink more, eat more, and generally be a little more decadent than usual. Besides hydrating and exercise, here are a few tricks to keep your energy levels high during your vacation:
Make sure to always have water and food on you. There is nothing worse than being in the middle of a wonderful performance and having to leave to get water. And for your travel companion, there is nothing worse than a hangry friend. This is especially true if you plan on hiking or doing a lot of physical activity while you are traveling.
Roll up plastic water bottles are especially nice for traveling because they are light and take up close to no room when empty. Additionally, if you are low on energy it is important to drink fluids with electrolytes. Most people are electrolyte deficient and this is especially true if you’ve gone drinking the night before. Replenishing your electrolytes will make you feel fresher and even boost your immune system. You can add some essential oils with rosemary, orange, and lemon that are said to be super energizing.
A full night of sleep is the best way to assure energy for the next day. Sometimes traveling, and moving from hotel to hotel can make it harder to fall asleep. If packing room allows, bring your pillow from home. This can help you sleep along with the use of travel earplugs and a sleeping mask. These small accessories can help a deeper and longer night of undisturbed sleep allowing for maximum energy on your travels.
