Simple Travel Tips for a Smoother Journey

read all about it

Hi Sweet Friends,

Over the years, I’ve developed a go-to travel routine that keeps me feeling vibrant and strong, even when I’m on the road (or in the air!) For me, the key to staying well while traveling is really quite simple—just a little forward thinking and some easy lightweight items that fit right in my bag. Jet-setting (or schlepping about) makes us more susceptible to stress, junk food, late nights and germs. So that’s why it’s super important to kick your self-care efforts up a notch and keep your immune system protected.

One of my biggest concerns while journeying about is inflammation. Traveling can make us more susceptible to its many triggers—but here’s the good news—it doesn’t always have to!

In this video, I share a few tips and products that help me (and hopefully you!) stay healthy on the road.

 

Here’s what you’ll learn

  • My nutrient-packed trail mix recipe, and why I chose these goodies: brazil nuts, walnuts, cashews, goji berries, mulberries and cacao nibs.
  • My quick and easy-to-make breakfast staple that helps me rise and shine through the whole day.
  • What I reach for when I can’t find fresh green juice.
  • How I stay on track with my supplements and the one I rely on to keep the trains (a.k.a. poop) moving!
  • Why these three essential oils help me with everything from boosting energy and focus before a speech to keeping me happy and relaxed while flying.
  • The travel-sized exercise tool I use to prevent body aches, reduce stress and center my mind —all in the comfort of my hotel room.
  • How I get a great night’s sleep in a hotel room.
  • The one item that isn’t really health-related, but sure does make me feel and look fabulous …

Here’s the list of brands I love:

Android

  • Lightning Bug – Sleep Clock
  • Music Therapy for Sound Sleep
  • Chroma Doze
  • White Noise
  • Nature Sounds to Sleep

iPhone

Bonus tip:

Air travel can sometimes create congestion. Consider bringing a travel-proof neti pot and a few scoops of neti salt (or sea salt). This handy tool will help clear you up in no time and may also prevent unwanted headaches or fatigue. Hotel remedies rock!

Your turn: How do you stay healthy and vibrant while traveling? Let me know in the comments below!

Peace & passports,

  4. Thank you for supporting (and loving!) the Himalayan Institute Neti Pot. It is a great travel tool, as well as a daily tool. Enjoy your travels and be able to breath the fresh air. Namaste!

    Becareful with the magnesium citrate. Do not try it for the first time while on vacation. It can work a little too well for some people. No need to ruin your vacation.

  6. I’m not that much of a online reader to be honest but your blogs really nice, keep it up! I’ll go ahead and bookmark your website to come back in the future. Cheers

  10. Remember when we talked about inflammation? Traveling can make you susceptible to many of its triggers, but it doesn’t have to.

    hi kris, this is amazing….. i would like to ask few things from you.
    I had stage colon cancer last year and had major operation. i believe that i am cancer free now but still taking care of my health through radical change of diet however i would still love to hear from you and other cancer survivor on how they have completely changed their bad health to real and fantastic healthy lifestyle. one of my concern also is boosting my immune system. i hope that this will would reach your attention and would be able to get response from you. God bless

    Loved your video, Kris. Your enthusiasm is like a breath of fresh air. I was so pleased to hear your recommendation for an instant oatmeal that can easily be taken on the road, however I checked the ingredients and discovered that Nature’s Path Flax Plus Oatmeal has 10 grams of sugar which is 2 1/2 teaspoons per serving! Yikes! I have been looking for an instant oatmeal for travel but have not been successful in finding one that doesn’t have copious amounts of sugar.

  13. Richard says:

    I know this is an old post, but I wanted to thankyou for your travel ideas. I was starting to feel stressed out. I leave for a youth camp next week. I can bring my own food, but I was trying to find ways to get my greens in. I will have to try those greens packets. Then I do have problems when I travel sometimes with consitpation. I am so glad you suggested that. I will try that tip. I love the oils and plan on bringing mine. The trail mix looks good as well.Thannks so much for all that you do. I love to watch your videos. You are so much fun to watch and a big help to me.

    Great travel tips! Here’s another good read for food on the go for traveling >> http://experiencelife.lamesarv.com/2014/05/taking-it-to-go-best-food-for-road.html

    Cheers!

    This would have to be a new blog. Something that you want to read about, but havent found online. This can be religious, fashion-based, etc. Im just getting some ideas for the blog i want to start- Thanks!.

    Dear Kris,

    A dear friend suggested I visit your website when I was recently diagnosed with invasive lobular carcinoma. No surgery on my breast as the cancer has spread. Fortunately, it is controlled at the moment. I have a wonderful oncologist as well as a wonderful alternative treatment doctor, who was recommended by the oncologist.
    You became my ‘goddess;’ I devoured Crazy Sexy Diet and have changed my diet radically. My next challenge will be on a cruise ship next week. What do you do when you’re on vacation? The ship is not catering to my need for everything organic… Does one just do one’s best in that circumstance? Any tips for eating when abroad? Thanks so much for all your work and for sharing your knowledge. Rona Shaw
