How to Stay Healthy While Traveling for the Holidays
Are you traveling soon to spend the holidays with loved ones? Major holidays are peak travel time, which means traffic jams, packed airports, long lines, and lots of people. Traveling should be fun and relaxing, but it’s often accompanied by stress, colds, fatigue, and even an irregular bathroom schedule.
But don’t worry, we’re here with simple tips to help you stay healthy while traveling, plus supplement must-haves so you can enjoy your holiday vacation to the fullest (and not come home with the winter sniffles).
1. Prioritize Immune Support Before and During Travel
There is nothing worse than arriving at your destination with chills and a runny nose. It’s important to boost immunity before you travel and continue that support throughout the trip.
Strengthen your defenses before you leave by:
- Incorporating immune-supportive foods such as garlic, citrus, and leafy greens
- Getting plenty of quality rest
- Managing your stress levels
- Drinking plenty of water to help flush out toxins
- Taking immune-support supplements such as Vitamin C+™, Garlic 3000™, Oregano Oil, or Polybiotic™
Continue these immune habits during travel:
- Regularly washing your hands or using hand sanitizer
- Staying hydrated
- Avoiding close contact with people who are sick
- Continuing your immune-boosting supplements daily
2. Support Digestion on the Go
The digestive system can take a big hit during travel due to long sitting, irregular meals, stress, and unfamiliar foods. Many people deal with constipation, bloating, and indigestion during trips, making it hard to enjoy meals or stay comfortable throughout the day.
Tips to support digestion when traveling:
- Choose lighter meals during flights or long drives
- Try not to skip meals
- Drink plenty of water
- Limit triggers such as coffee, spicy foods, or dairy
Helpful digestive supplements:
- Probiotics+™
- Enzyme Complex™
- Digestan™
- Magnesium (citrate form)
3. Stay Hydrated
Staying hydrated matters more than you think! Proper hydration supports digestion, energy, cognitive function, and overall comfort during travel.
Hydration often drops because of dry airplane air, long car rides, and an increase in caffeine, salty snacks, and convenience foods.
Hydration tips for travel:
- Carry a refillable water bottle
- Choose electrolyte drinks or herbal teas
- Limit coffee and soda on travel days
4. Manage Stress While Traveling
It’s no secret that traveling can be hectic. Between flight delays, crowds, tight schedules, last-minute changes, and the general chaos of the holidays, stress can creep in fast.
Simple ways to stay centered and calm:
- Practice deep breathing (try 4–7–8 breathing)
- Do stretches while waiting at the airport or rest stops
- Listen to calming music or guided meditations
- Give yourself extra buffer time for travel interruptions
- Keep snacks on hand to avoid low blood sugar-related stress
Supplements that may help with stress support:
- Calming herbs such as ashwagandha or passionflower
- Magnesium Bisglycinate for tension and relaxation
- Relax+™ for stress relief and improved sleep
5. Get Plenty of Rest and Sleep
Sleep can be challenging during the holidays, with new beds, noisy environments, late-night gatherings, and early travel times that can all disrupt your routine. But getting enough rest is essential for immunity, digestion, mood, and overall well-being.
Tips to help you sleep better while traveling:
- Stick to a loose sleep schedule when possible
- Avoid heavy meals and caffeine before bedtime
- Bring sleep essentials like an eye mask, earplugs, or a travel pillow
- Wind down with calming activities such as reading or a warm shower
Supplement support for better rest:
- Dormimax™ caps or liquid
- Valerian root or passion flower
- Magnesium for muscle relaxation
Conclusion
Holiday travel doesn’t have to leave you feeling drained, bloated, or stressed. With a little preparation (immune support, hydration, digestive care, stress management, and quality rest), you can enjoy every moment of your trip feeling healthy and energized.
Start building your travel wellness routine now so you can arrive feeling your best and return home refreshed. And if you need travel-friendly supplements, don’t forget to stock up before you hit the road!
