Pre-Travel Tips for Staying Energized

By

Even though taking a vacation or even just a short turnaround trip can be full of excitement and adventure, the fact is that if you are having trouble keeping your energy levels up or beating the lingering jet lag, it can really dampen the fun for you and everyone that you are traveling with. So in the spirit of making your next vacation the best one ever, we compiled a short list of useful tips on how to keep the fires burning and engines turning the next time you hop a plane to parts unknown:

Embrace a Healthier Diet




Even though we should already be doing this anyway, if you haven’t been following the most nutritious eating regimen, now is the time to start. Eating healthy will not only make you feel better and more energized while you are awake, it will aid in the sleep process by making digestion much easier and simple, as well as providing the body with the vitamins and nutrients it needs to replenish those energy reserves for the following day.

Increase Exposure to Sunlight


Adding to the amount of natural sunlight you take in does wonders for your vitality. It also helps to regulate the production of melatonin, an internally produced sleep aid. Little things like taking your lunch outside, walking or biking to a nearby destination rather than driving, or early day jogs can all greatly amplify your intake of sunshine.

Set Your Body Clock to Your Destination Time Zone

This process should start at least a week before you take off for your vacation, and even two weeks is possible. If you are going east you want to set your schedule ahead, or you are traveling west, you will want to try and set your internal clock back. You can do this by adjusting your sleep cycle a half hour at a time. Again, if you are going east, you would go to bed a half hour later and get up a half hour later. You would reverse the process if you are flying west.

What this does is not only gets your sleep schedule lined up with your vacation locale, it adjusts your entire circadian rhythm to a new daily timetable. This includes when you get hungry and take meals, when you wind down or get a second wind, as well as dozens of other biological regulatory processes.

Forget About Work


This is as important as anything else on our list. Nothing will zap your energy and enthusiasm for the adventures in store for you on vacation quite like worrying about work or stressing over an unfinished report or project. Those things will all still be waiting on you when you get back. For now, this is a time for you to focus on and enjoy the people that you are traveling with.

It is a time to be caught up in the thrill of the moment and to refresh and reset from all of those things that you need a vacation from in the first place. Don’t waste precious minutes off of what could be the trip of a lifetime by worrying about things that really don’t matter in the long run

Myra Ultimate Dietary Supplement Review

Health is wealth. I have said this countless times to my children and everyone else. Now this pandemic reminds us that we need to take care of ourselves more since we are battling a virus. Aside from exercise, healthy food, and vitamins that we take everyday, we also need to take care of our skin. Even though we are at home most of the time, we must not neglect the protective layer of our body. I learned skin care through my mom who was health conscious too. She would take vitamins and supplements of all sorts and strictly follow a skin care routine day and night. She is my biggest influence when it comes to taking care of myself. I learned that in order for us to have a good glowing skin, it should start from within.  I came across Myra a few years back at a drugstore when I started working and began taking their Vitamin E supplement. Now they Myra Ultimate, a new product that I tried and here are my thoughts. One week of taking it, I noticed a significant change in the glow of my...

Purple Fairy Cosmetics Review x Giveaway

If kilay is life, liptint is life also for me. There was a phase in my life where I'd hoard every new lipstick in the market. But suddenly, I grew tired of it. BOO.   When I purchased my first liptint and knew how versatile it was for a busy mom like me, I had already a thing for liptints. In a span of a year, I bought several local and foreign brands and of course there were mixed emotions about it. There is just something about it that tells me still, they do belong to the same mother but unique in every way.  It is about time for me to throw some of it because I have been using it beyond six months already. Do not get me wrong though, I store my liptints in a cold and dry place (refrigerator) that is why, I could still use it beyond it's shelf life. Now it's time to hunt for a new local brand when suddenly I came across the owner of the brand I have been eyeing to try for the longest time.  Anyway, so much for blabbing here and let's get to the review...
