10 Tips for a Healthy Summer Vacation

Whether your vacation plans involve domestic or overseas travel, general health and safety measures can help you and your family prevent illness and injury. 

1. Watch What You Eat. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics offers these healthy eating suggestions while you are on vacation:

• Sample small amounts of high–calorie foods. You do not have to avoid these foods entirely; just reduce the amount that you eat to a few bites.

• Share large portions. Many restaurants serve very large portions, so do not hesitate to split orders.

• Space meals throughout the day. It can be easy to "graze" while on vacation. Try to set meal times and stick to them.

15 Strategies for the Savvy Traveler

#1 While snacking on wholesome foods will help keep your blood sugar levels from spiking and dropping, avoid eating full meals in the car. Take a break to relax and enjoy your food – it’s better for your digestion and will also enable you to pay attention to satiety signals and realize when you’re full.

#2 Don’t skip meals, and don’t go more than four or five hours without eating. This will keep your energy level up and enable you to resist the temptation to overeat at your next meal.
