Staying Healthy on Vacation

Maintaining your health while on vacation is important to ensure you return feeling refreshed and energized. Here are some tips to help you stay healthy during your getaway:

1. **Plan Ahead:**

   - Research your destination, find your local health food stores and natural health care practitioners. Locate the nearest hospital in case of emergencies.

2. **Stay Active:**

   - Incorporate physical activity into your vacation. Explore the area on foot or by bike, go for hikes, swim, or engage in other recreational activities.

3. **Pack Healthy Snacks:**

   - Bring a supply of healthy snacks like nuts, granola bars, and fruit to curb hunger between meals. This can help you avoid unhealthy, impulse choices.

4. **Stay Hydrated:**

   - Drink plenty of water, especially in hot or tropical destinations. Dehydration can lead to fatigue and other health issues.

5. **Mindful Eating:**

   - Enjoy local cuisine but practice portion control. Try to balance indulgent meals with healthier choices like salads, grilled dishes, and fruits.

6. **Eliminate Alcohol:**

   - Eliminate all alcohol consumption. Alcohol can lead to dehydration and affect your well-being.

7. **Sleep Well:**

   - Prioritize sleep. Ensure you get enough rest to recharge your body and mind. Try doTerra’s Serenity Stick for a really good night’s sleep.

8. **Sun Protection:**

   - Use this sunscreen and protective clothing to shield yourself from the sun’s harmful rays. Sunburn can be not only painful but also detrimental to your health.

9. **Stay Stress-Free:**

    - Manage stress by planning downtime and relaxation into your vacation schedule. Engage in activities that help you unwind, like reading, prayer/meditation, or yoga.

Remember that the goal of vacation is to relax and rejuvenate, so don’t stress too much about maintaining a strict health regimen. Balance is key. Enjoy the local culture, try new foods, and explore, but also prioritize your well-being to ensure a happy and healthy vacation experience.
