]]> Supplements may be a part of your daily routine, or something you’ve considered once or twice but never bothered with. While everyone will have specific needs when it comes to taking supplements, there are some that can help nearly all of us, especially when we’re on vacation. Taking a break away normally means relaxing, exploring new places, and trying delicious food and drink. The change in pace and lifestyle leaves most of us feeling refreshed and content, but sometimes this break in routine can leave our bodies lacking in certain key nutrients. Check out these key supplements which most of us will benefit from taking on vacation.

Vitamin B12

If you’ve got an early flight or a long train journey to your vacation destination, there is a risk that you will arrive feeling exhausted and irritable. Vitamin B12 is essential when it comes to regulating energy levels, and it can help reduce feelings of fatigue and tiredness. It’s naturally found in red meat, so you can seek this out on the menu when you’re away, but this isn’t always possible depending on where you are. Taking some supplements with you can reduce the risk of tiredness and fatigue on vacation.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is found in lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, so the chances are you should be able to get a naturally healthy dose of it from your diet while you’re on vacation. However, if you’re really keen to avoid getting ill after sitting in the recycled air of a plane for four hours, taking an extra supplement won’t hurt. Vitamin C is also important for skin health, so can help you maintain your glow even when you’re away from most of your trusted cosmetics and skincare products.

Probiotics

Many people find that a change of diet and drinking water, combined with the stress of travel, can leave them with an upset stomach on the first few days of their vacation. Take care of your gut health and keep your body happy with some probiotic supplements. These contain billions of healthy bacteria to support the digestive system and reduce the risk of tummy troubles when you should be enjoying your holiday.

]]> Even if you’ve never been to a wellness retreat before, you’ve definitely heard of the concept by now. You know, going someplace quiet and pastoral to relax, rejuvenate, and eat vegan food. But are wellness retreats really your cup of matcha latte? Here are some ways to decide if they’re your (organic) jam.

Goal Assessment

What do you hope to gain from a wellness retreat? Are you seeking relaxation, fitness, mindfulness, or a combination of these? Understanding your goals will help you choose the right type of retreat that aligns with your needs.

Comfort Zone Considerations

Wellness retreats often involve activities like yoga, meditation, and healthy eating, which may be outside your comfort zone if you’re not used to them. Ask yourself if you’re open to trying new experiences for the sake of personal growth. If the answer is no, that’s more than OK!

Cost and Duration

There are numerous wellness retreats out there, and their cost and duration vary. Decide how much you’re willing to invest in your well-being and how much time you can realistically dedicate to a retreat, then check to see if there are any relevant fits.

Research Options

Take as much time as you need to research different wellness retreats and (maybe) find one that resonates with you. Look for retreats that offer activities that interest you, whether it’s yoga by the beach, hiking in nature, or holistic spa treatments.

]]> Creating an exercise routine that you can actually stick to is no small feat, but things get even more complicated when travel comes into the picture. While there’s nothing wrong with taking a break for a few days, for some people, even a brief pause can mean having to rebuild the habit from scratch when returning from a trip. Fortunately, keeping up with your workout routine on the road doesn’t have to be difficult. Read on for some of our best tips. 

Look for Local Options

Once you’ve settled on a destination, search online to find yoga studios, gyms, or group exercise classes in the area. Choosing to work out with a group in a defined space is not only a great way to keep yourself accountable, but it can also be an opportunity to make new friends and get a taste of how fitness fits into the local culture. Some studios even offer discounts for first-time students.

Work with What You’ve Got

If you’re traveling somewhere with limited options or instructor-led classes aren’t in your budget, body weight exercises may be more than enough to get an effective workout from the comfort of your accommodation. Just lay down a towel or mat and perform a few simple moves like squats, lunges, and planks to maintain strength and flexibility without special equipment.

Combine Activity & Exploration

Turn sightseeing into exercise by opting to explore your destination on foot or by bike rather than in a motor vehicle. Depending on your destination and the nature of your trip, you may also be able to find excursions that involve activities like hiking or swimming, but you can also crank regular on-foot exploration up a notch by wearing a pair of ankle weights and always taking the stairs.

]]> It’s a generally agreed-upon truth among travelers that traveling is good for you. After all, you can just feel it intuitively. But did you know that there are actual concrete, proven ways that travel is good for your health? So next time you’re debating about whether or not to take a trip, remember these three ways in which travel is good for your health.

Travel is Good for Your Heart

A 2019 study published in the journal Psychology & Health shows that workers who took more vacation days had fewer metabolic syndrome symptoms and incidents, even decreasing their risk for metabolic syndrome by nearly a quarter each time they took a vacation.

Travel Helps You Manage Stress

Another study, published in 2018, shows that taking a vacation—even a short one like a four-day weekend—can decrease your stress levels for five weeks following the trip.

Travel Can Help You Be More Creative

According to research published by Adam Galinsky through the American Psychology Association, people who have spent a lot of time abroad tend to have higher creativity than those who don’t. After all, travel is a great way to experience new ideas and cultures, broadening your worldview and perspective.

]]> A lot of people might go on a flight and feel a little unusual in some sort of way, and that’s completely normal. The environment of the plane is completely different than that of the regular world, so before you get on your next flight, learn about how the plane can affect you and your body.

Low Oxygen

The cabin oxygen pressure is mostly set to a lower amount than most people are used to, and this can cause your oxygen levels to drop as well. This can lead to you feeling light-headed or sleepy, which is why you probably fall asleep on planes pretty easily.

Air

The air that circulates within the cabin is drawn from outside the plane, which is very low in moisture. This dry air can actually cause you to become dehydrated, so you have to make sure that before the flight and during you’re drinking a lot of water. The dry air can also dry out your skin quite easily, so bringing lotion is a good idea.

Number 2: Reusable water bottle. One of the best and simplest swaps I have made to date! I love my bottle and have had it for ages, as you can see by the well loved state of it. One of these bad boys can help to reduce or even eliminate the OVER TWO MILLION TONS of plastic water bottles that end up in landfill in the US each year. They also save you money, are durable, insulated and have health benefits (no BPA or nasty micro plastics that are found in 100% of bottled water). They can be found in countless retail stores, groceries, markets etc. So there’s really no excuse. Pick one up today and do your part! As usual keep watching the page for a more in depth look into exactly how they make a difference. #ecoish #everydayenvironmentalist #plasticfree #reducerefusereuse #sustainableliving #ecofriendly #gogreen #climatechange #everylittlehelps #reusablewaterbottle #noplasticwater

Blood Circulation

The fact that seats are getting tighter and more cramped leads to terrible circulation while you’re on a flight. This can especially affect your ankles and legs making them swollen or numb.

]]> Let’s be honest, a majority of people have anxiety around one thing or the other whether it be spiders, fire or traveling there are ways to manage your anxiety! Especially with travel anxiety can be difficult because you have  to accept that you often have no control over the situation, ie. you are not a pilot so you can’t decide when take-off is happening(and if you are a pilot I hope you don’t have travel anxiety!).

Some of the most beautiful and special places there are to travel to include less than ideal transport such as small planes or boats. You are not alone in feeling nerves but don’t let these obstacles keep you from exploring the world! Here is a list of three easy steps for dealing with travel anxiety:

Aromatherapy

Take something small on the road with you that has essential oils or dried plants that provide soothing aromatherapy experiences. Smells that especially prompt relaxation and calm is lavender, bergamot, and chamomile.

Meditation

Take a few minutes before or during travel to meditate, center yourself, close your eyes and focus on your breathing. If you need some guidance in meditation Headspace is a free and excellent guided meditation app.

Distraction

Plan your distraction ahead of time, since it is usually harder to make decisions while feeling stressed or anxious. I recommend a playlist of music or a podcast that inspires you or a very good book. Anything that is able to keep your mind off of your journey.

All the best of luck to you on your travels!
