Fuel Your Travels: Quick Nutrition Tip

Eating healthy while traveling can be a challenge, but you don’t need to settle for fast food. Try packing this simple snack that’s portable, nutritious, and keeps you feeling full longer.

Travel-Friendly Protein Pack:

• 1 small apple
• 1 handful of almonds or mixed nuts
• 1 string cheese stick (or a small packet of nut butter if you prefer dairy-free)

This combination of fiber, protein, and healthy fats will keep your energy steady without weighing you down.

Fitness Hack of the Week: Use Dead Time for “Movement Snacks”

Travel often means a lot of sitting—whether it’s at the gate, on the plane, or in meetings. Here’s how to turn that “dead time” into movement opportunities:

• Boarding Gate Squats: Waiting to board? Knock out 10-20 squats while standing by your gate.
• In-Flight Leg Lifts: While seated, alternate lifting your legs straight up, holding for 3 seconds each time to keep your lower body active.
• Luggage Walk: If you’re waiting in long security lines, turn it into a mini workout by walking with your carry-on in hand, engaging your core and legs.

Every bit of movement counts, and these small efforts add up!

Lifestyle Tip: Stay Hydrated on the Go

Traveling often leads to dehydration, which can sap your energy and leave you feeling sluggish. Here’s how to stay hydrated even when you’re constantly on the move:

• Pack a Collapsible Water Bottle: Take it through airport security and fill it up before your flight.
• Set a Hydration Timer: Use your phone to remind you to take a sip every hour, ensuring you’re drinking consistently.
• Skip Sugary Drinks: Opt for water or unsweetened tea instead of sugary beverages, which can dehydrate you even more.

Proper hydration keeps you energized, focused, and feeling your best while traveling.
