Keeping your immune system healthy during summer travel

No Comments
10 years ago

Now that summer is almost here, your travel plans are nearing as well. Whether you're headed to the beaches of Florida or are exploring the streets of Rome, you'll want to make sure that you arrive to your destination healthy and stay feeling great throughout your trip.

Traveling can take a toll on the immune system, whether it's from the stressors of getting to your destination or staying up late and taking part in more social engagements. Here are a few tips to keep your immune system in tip-top shape so you can enjoy your summer vacation without the sniffles:

Stay hydrated
Drinking lots of water can ward off dehydration – which is one of the most common contributors to summer sickness. You're sweating more, which means you're losing moisture. Replace the water you've lost by amping up your fluid intake. This doesn't have to mean just chugging water, however. Fruits like cantaloupe and watermelon have high H2O content to keep you full and hydrated.

Consume more vitamin C and D
Both of these vitamins ensure that your immune system is ready to go prior to your trip. Think of vitamins C and D as the guardians standing at the front gate of your immune system. Without them, bacteria and unwanted substances are more likely to get into your body and wreak havoc on your summer vacation. Vitamin C and D can be found in many foods as well as in supplement form. Also found in supplement form is Naturade's Symbiotics Colostrum Plus which further helps to produce a balanced immune response.

Opt for fresh air
While hot and humid summer days may prompt you to spend all day enjoying the air conditioning in your hotel, this may not be helping your chances for warding the summer sniffles. Recycled air can give unwanted substances a chance to flourish and spread. Air conditioning also removes moisture from the air, causing dryness. Take the time to enjoy the great outdoors and breathe in some fresh air.

Rest up
If you know you're leaving for vacation in a week or so, get an ample amount of sleep beforehand to prepare your immune system. Sleep deprivation can weaken the system and make it more susceptible to developing an illness. Sleep produces more natural levels of melatonin, restoring the immune system.

Maintain good oral health
While your oral health may be an afterthought when it comes to preventing a cold, it can play a big role in your overall health. Brush and floss and use antiseptic mouthwash before and after your trip to keep bacteria away.

Wash your hands
The cardinal rule of staying healthy has always been to wash your hands – and that is no different when you're on the road.
