<strong>Travel</strong> Hack #2: Remaining<br />
energized and healthy enough<br />
to step onto your mat each day<br />
is key. No matter where I’m<br />
traveling I bring 3 essential<br />
ingredients to support my<br />
overall health: a nightly pre/probiotic,<br />
a daily dose of greens,<br />
and portable healthy snacks.<br />
A pre/pro-biotic helps ensure<br />
healthy digestion. Most people<br />
have heard of probiotics but I<br />
turn to a combination of pre and<br />
probiotics for complete digestive<br />
health. As every traveler knows,<br />
airplanes, time zone changes,<br />
and dietary shifts can result<br />
in traveler’s constipation. The<br />
heaviness created from slow<br />
digestion interferes with your<br />
energy and can even contribute<br />
to mood swings and lowered<br />
immunity. Taking a nightly dose<br />
of pre/probiotic helps support<br />
healthy digestion and keeps<br />
you feeling excited to step onto<br />
your mat in the morning. My<br />
go-to pre/probiotic is Prescript<br />
Assist which doesn’t have to be<br />
refrigerated and travels easily.<br />
Depending on where you’re<br />
traveling, you might not have<br />
access to fresh veggies. While<br />
nothing can replace fresh leafy<br />
greens, you can support your<br />
daily veggie intake with an<br />
easy to mix green powder such<br />
as Green Vibrance. Pour one<br />
packet or scoop of green powder<br />
into a reusable bottle, add 8<br />
oz of filtered water, shake and<br />
drink first thing in the morning.<br />
This daily dose of greens<br />
enhances immunity and keeps<br />
your body healthy.<br />
Most importantly, be prepared<br />
with snacks! Before every trip<br />
I make a quick stop at the local<br />
health food store for travel<br />
snacks that easily fit into my<br />
carryon or purse. I purchase<br />
snacks not only for my travel<br />
days but also for the days I’m<br />
on the road. This ensures<br />
that I always have something<br />
healthy to turn to no matter<br />
where I am in the world - and<br />
it means I avoid stomach bugs<br />
by staying away from roadside<br />
food, unfiltered water, or other<br />
potential traveler pitfalls. My<br />
go-to snacks include dried,<br />
unsweetened and unsulfured<br />
mango for fiber, raw almonds<br />
for good fat and energy, Justin’s<br />
almond butter packets for<br />
protein, and Endangered Species<br />
Fair Trade dark chocolate for<br />
something sweet (a must!).<br />
