Healthy Traveling

Traveling can be very stressful, which often leads to unhealthy eating habits and weight gain. Here are a few strategies to maneuver around these obstacles:

• Get in extra walking when possible. At the airport, avoid moving walkways and take a lap around the terminal.
• Pack a resistance band for body-weight exercises to fit in quick workouts in your hotel room.
• Avoid heavy, greasy foods and instead fill up on lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables.
• Pack healthy snacks to keep you feeling full. Nuts, granola bars and bananas are easy to pack in your carry-on.
• Drink more water than usual to stay hydrated.
