Like finding the perfect vacation spot, being healthy takes a bit of planning!

Here are 9 ways to stay healthy on vacation:

1. Exercise EVERY day – Be active, go bike riding, play tennis or walk!! Be active, don’t become a couch potato!

2. Bring exercise equipment with you – Carry resistance tubes and bands in your luggage because they are lightweight and convenient!

3. Assemble snacks ahead of time – Don’t give in to mindless eating. Carry snacks in an ice chest such as sliced fruit, veggies and hummus, or a salad. See ““Best Anti Inflammatory Foods To Bring On a Road Trip!“.

4. Request a Microwave and Refrigerator – It’s helpful to have a microwave and small refrigerator if you are staying in a condo, house or hotel. You can fill it up with delicious healthy meals and snacks.

5. View menus ahead of time – If heading to a restaurant, check out the menu in advance and make a selection before arriving at the restaurant!

6. Eat BEFORE you go out – If I don’t think the restaurant offers healthy choices, eat dinner beforehand so there’s no temptation, then maybe get an appetizer or dinner salad at the restaurant. You can still enjoy the company of others!
