Traveling is a fantastic experience that everyone should try at least once. However, one thing that can put a damper on your travels is digestive issues. Being in a new environment, eating different foods, and changing your routine can contribute to occasional constipation or diarrhea. But fear not, my fellow travelers! I am here to share tips to keep things moving smoothly during your adventures.
First and foremost, hydration is vital. Water is essential for digestion and can help prevent constipation. While traveling, it’s easy to forget to drink water, but making a conscious effort is essential. Keep a reusable water bottle with you and fill it up whenever possible. Even if you’re on a long flight and don’t want to use the lavatory, try to sip water throughout the flight to stay hydrated.
Secondly, movement is crucial. Sitting for long periods, whether in a car or on a plane, can slow down your digestion. Take frequent breaks to stretch, walk around, or do light exercise. Trust me; you’ll feel much better afterward. On a recent flight, I was restless and decided to do some walking lunges down the aisle. To my surprise, several other passengers joined in, and soon enough, the whole row was lunging down the aisle. It was a funny and memorable experience that helped us all feel better.
Another tip is to pack magnesium citrate. This can be a lifesaver for those who struggle with constipation while traveling. But be careful not to take too much, as it can cause loose stools. Start with a small dose and see how your body reacts before taking more. I like to pack magnesium glycinate because it also helps with sleep and stress, two things that can be disrupted while traveling.
Finally, aim to eat at least one plant-based fiber per meal. This can come in the form of a salad or some fibrous vegetables. This will help support healthy gut flora and hormone health. You can also consider taking a probiotic, but starting this at home is best to see how your body reacts.
In conclusion, traveling can be an exciting but stressful time for your body. It’s essential to prioritize your digestive health to fully enjoy your adventures. Remember to drink plenty of water, move your body, pack magnesium citrate or glycinate, and eat fiber-rich foods. And don’t forget, if you’re feeling antsy during a flight, don’t be afraid to lead a group of passengers in some walking lunges down the aisle. Who knows, you might have a new group of workout buddies!
Stay tuned for my next video on what to pack for your summer trip. Happy travels!
