Summer Travel Health Tips

Summer Travel Health Tips
Posted in: Articles


The summer is just around the corner and many of us will be planning and packing for holidays but travelling is a big change to our daily routine. Whilst we are away we are more likely to go to sleep later, eat foods we aren't used to and drink more alcohol which can result in problems - there is nothing worse than feeling run down with a cold or getting a case of traveller's tummy spoiling all your lovely plans.

So being prepared, and knowing how to manage those symptoms can be really useful so here are some tip tips to hep you get the most out of your holiday:

  • First of all, to support digestion and prevent infections, make sure you pack a good quality probiotic. If you are more susceptible to tummy upsets or you are travelling to an exotic place you should consider taking some antimicrobial herbs and botanicals such as garlic, oregano, grapeseed and clove to give you some additional protection. If you generally struggle with IBS type symptoms and you are maybe worried about the food you may accidentally eat, digestive enzymes can support digestion even further.
  • If your daily life is fast paced and stressful, you may get yourself feeling run down and picking up viral infections. So make sure you protect yourself with immune support like vitamin C, vitamin D and zinc. Herbs such as elderberry and sage can give you that extra anti-viral support as well.
  • Finally, protect your skin from damaging UV rays with antioxidants such as beta carotene, vitamins E and C, and green tea. Make sure you use an organic, natural sun cream and rather than a regular after-sun lotion , you can use natural oils that are high in vitamin E, including olive oil, almond oil and shea butter.

Happy holidays!
