How to Have a Healthy Thanksgiving Trip or Staycation

How to Have a Healthy Thanksgiving Trip or StaycationWell, we made it to Thanksgiving 2020! And this year, it looks much different than years past. For some, there will be no physical gatherings and for others, they will be braving a whole new world of travel. Either way, all of us will be enduring some sort of holiday rush be it traveling via plane or car to even just heading to crowded grocery stores so I’ve got some healthy holiday tips for you!

From pack to catching flights, sleeping in guest rooms and dealing with long lines at the mall…you know the drill. It’s a lot to juggle and can really add stress to anyone’s life thereby setting people off on the wrong foot of overeating, emotional eating, convenience eating, slacking off on exercise and the list goes on and on. It all takes a mental, physical and financial toll so I’ve got some tips to help you stay happy, healthy and sane this holiday travel season!

Check out  these healthy thanksgiving travel tips to keep healthy and sane this holiday travel season:

  • Pack patience! Now that the TSA has added heightened security measures and airlines have tacked on more fees, flying can be a beast.  Do your best to give yourself enough time to get through the lines and know that it’s all just part of the experience.
  • Pack  good attitude! Nothing spoils a holiday trip or exacerbates any problems more than a sour disposition. Do your best to make the most of the situation and enjoy the season because it only comes once a year. You never know what great memories you will make if you’re willing to enjoy the holiday!
  • Eat before you leave the house. You should always leave with a full tummy or you will be tempted to nosh on whatever is convenient. And that means expensive junk food that’s bad for you and the trash cans!
  • Know before you go. Know which airports you will be flying in and out of, laying over at, etc. Most have websites that show what dining establishments can be found in each terminal. For instance, I know that the Delta terminal at LAX has a Starbucks (for my soy latte) and a CPK express where I can grab a salad or soup for the flight. Most international hubs have chain restaurants or familiar fast food counters where you can order up a healthy meal for your in flight pleasure. From a veggie salad or sandwich at Quiznos to a black Bean Burger at Chili’s To Go, there are ways to not give in to bags of pretzels and pounds of danishes to keep you from passing out on your flight. The World Travel Guide site will lead you to each city’s airport web site.
  • Stay Hydrated. Seeing as how we cannot bring our own beverages from home anymore, the first purchase to make upon entering your gate is a big bottle of water. Or better yet, pack your favorite glass or BPA-free bottle in your carry on bag and fill it at the airport. This way you save money and you aren’t drinking unhealthy water or contributing to landfill waste. Above all else, staying hydrated during air travel is key to cutting down on fatigue and fighting off the munchies!
  • Take your vitamins & eat your veggies. If you’re running around and not able to eat balanced meals on your travel day, be sure to pack water soluble vitamin packets. In addition, there are many powdered veggie drinks that you can down and get your recommended servings of veggies a day to keep your immune system top notch when sucking in recycled air. My favorite brand for both is To Go Brands Go Greens and Vitamin C packs.
  • Stay away from caffeine. Drinking caffeinated beverages on or before a flight will keep you from relaxing on the plane.  In addition, it messes with your insulin levels and can cause you to overeat.
  • Don’t drink alcohol in flight. Alcoholic beverages have double the effect in the air as they do on the ground,  so you’re definitely gonna feel crappy when you get to your destination. If you need to relax, grab some all natural melatonin to help you sleep along with some soothing tunes.
  • Pack snacks. Stock up on healthy bars, nuts and even sandwiches.  Pack your carry-on with your own goodies so you aren’t spending money at the terminal on expensive, crappy food to be sure and have something on hand when hunger strikes.
  • Sleep well the night before travel. That’s the toughest with the anticipation and stress that comes with flying during the holidays, but it can be done. And if not, invest in a flight pillow, eye mask, earplugs or noise reducing headphones and a blanket. Bring all the comforts of home with you to make your catching ZZZs in the air easier.
  • Plan ahead!. Know where you’re going directly after you pick up your bags at your destination. Home, hotel, family’s house, wherever – map out what is close by in case you need to pick up a snack or a full blown meal so you don’t keel over and start your vacation on a bad foot.

No matter where the holidays take you, I hope it’s healthy, happy and fun!
