Healthy Summer Travel Tips | The Prescription Shop

Are you still planning to travel this summer? If so, you’re going to need some good tips to keep it fun and healthy. The Prescription Shop is here to help you make the most of your vacation without guilt!

Make every meal an opportunity to eat healthy.
Just because you overdo it at one meal, doesn’t mean you have to overeat all day. One indulgent meal doesn’t need to ruin your day.

Prepare for your trip in advance.
Let’s face it. You’ve already got a lot of preparations to make for your trip. While you’re already packing and planning, you might as well plan your healthy eating, too. Pack healthy shelf-stable snacks in your suitcase. Once you arrive, take advantage of local grocery delivery services.

Know how to make an easy on-the-go meal.
Every traveler needs to know how to put together a makeshift meal. If your flight has been delayed, you can make it until the next meal or snack by grabbing an oatmeal pouch, a nut butter packet, and some dried fruit.

Try these healthier fast food meals.

Have an emergency plan.
Have you found a clean meal you can grab from just about anywhere? Think about something you can grab from the gas station, like Greek yogurt, a pack of nuts, and a piece of fruit. Practically any restaurant will prepare you a mixed green salad and grilled chicken. Knowing what you’ll get ahead of time helps you make better choices when you’re hungry.

Make time for physical activity.
Yes, even on vacation, you can make time exercise. In fact, you can likely exercise even more than usual when you’re on vacation. It’s a great opportunity to get to know the new surroundings or try out a new workout.

Consider these ideas to break a sweat.

Treat yourself wisely.
Give yourself permission to eat one thing just because it’s delicious. Allow yourself to make an empowered decision about when you’re going to indulge.
