Don’t Overeat While Out and About
It is extremely tempting to want to sample every food and drink item you see while on holiday, but don’t do that! While you may get to enjoy some wonderful dishes and drinks that you don’t normally have access to, it could lead to numerous problems, such as heartburn, indigestion, and food poisoning, down the road.
While on holiday, try to pace yourself when it comes to eating. It will help you avoid an upset stomach or that dreaded feeling of being ‘too full’.
Another great suggestion is to try smaller portions. Even though you are eating less of a single item, you will ultimately have room for more. This allows you to try more items, but at smaller portion sizes.
Don’t Work Frantically the Week Before Your Holiday
People have a habit of working frantically the week before their holiday. They try to finish their work whilst arranging for the time they are away, all while still planning to leave on holiday. Acting this way will only result in one thing – feeling extremely fatigued.
You don’t want to spend your whole holiday sleeping in a hotel room because you are too tired to go anywhere. Make sure you pace yourself at work and don’t overwork. You will notice you have a more enjoyable holiday.
Build Up Your Immune System
The best way to fight a cold is with a good, strong immune system. Make sure you build up your immune system in the days leading up to your holiday, not to mention while you are out on holiday. This will stand you in good stead when suffering from jet lag.
Some suggestions for how to build up your immune system include:
- Getting enough sleep
- Drinking plenty of water
- Staying hydrated
- Taking breaks
- Taking Vitamin C supplements
Prepare with Plenty of Sanitisers
Germs and cold viruses are everywhere while you are on holiday. The only way to avoid them is to make sure you sanitise the areas around you. To do this, you will need to make sure you bring plenty of sanitisers with you on holiday.
Some of the places you will need to sanitise include:
- Armrest on the plane
- Seat on the plane
- Pull-out tray on the plane
- Seats in the airport
