It doesn’t matter if you are traveling for business or pleasure, the travel experience is incredible. Not only for discovering different cultures, trying new things, exploring and living adventures worthy of reporting, but also because traveling becomes an exercise in personal reflection that gives you new meanings in your life.
But traveling has a big drawback: it doesn’t help you eat healthy.
Here are some tips for eating healthy while on vacation:
- Moderate alcohol consumption: We know it’s hard to avoid alcohol on vacation, especially if you’re staying at a hotel with an impressive bar. In fact, we are not telling you to absolutely avoid it either, but you do have to decide between having a glass or two of alcohol or eating whatever you want. If you decide to drink alcohol remember to do it without excesses. Ideally, every 3 drinks you should have a good glass of water to avoid dehydration and hangovers.
- Eat one treat a day wisely: Eating healthy when you are traveling does not mean that you should not try the local gastronomy or that you cannot leave your diet aside for a moment. Our recommendation is that foods that are too sweet or high in carbohydrates are left for only one meal a day. In this way, you will avoid that feeling that you are completely limiting yourself.
- Drink a lot of water: The body needs water for practically all its functions. Drinking plenty of water cleanses your body of toxins, keeps your skin fresh, and helps you eat less. Believe it or not, many of the cravings you experience on the road can be satisfied with a refreshing glass of water. If you’re taking a flight, make sure you drink plenty of water before boarding the plane to stay hydrated.
- Start the day with a good breakfast: This seems like a tip to keep fit while traveling worthy of your grandmother, but the truth is that this meal is very important, especially if you are a traveler. And it is that a good breakfast will give you enough energy to undertake your days of adventure.
