Staying healthy while staying home is much easier than doing so while away from home. Travel alters your daily routine of sleep, diet, exercise and environment. This results in the body's chemical imbalance, and subsequently allergies, insomnia, a painful stomach, and intense feelings of stress and anxiety. But there are many ways to stay healthy while traveling.
Food can be a leading cause of illness when traveling, especially in foreign countries.
Avoid eating heavily. You will be subjected to new and possibly exotic foods so remember all things in moderation.
Admit it - perhaps you're a junk food junkie who eats chips while at work. Satisfy those munchies instead with fruit, nut, or an energy bar. Fruit that you peel is probably safer. Know the difference between hunger and boredom. Have enough (healthy) food in your stomach before a long flight.
Be careful when it comes to drinking water. Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration but make sure the water is safe. A bottle of water would do if you're still in doubt, but don't put ice on it. Put an extra bottle of water in your bag to carry aboard the plane.
Avoid alcohol and caffeine. Both are diuretics and will keep you going to the bathroom unnecessarily. One bottle of beer or one cup of coffee in the air is good as two on the ground. But if you really have to drink to be polite at a bar gathering, be one of the first to leave the building.
Get plenty of rest and sleep. Book your hotel room in a place that is safe from the noise of revelers and leisure travelers on a wild party. Remember that you're on the trip for business - less noise means more rest and less temptation. Also, it isn't a good idea to have a room near the elevators - and especially near ice machines.
Because ice machines vibrate, it is easy for them to be heard in nearby rooms. It's wise to clear a path from your bed to the bathroom before you turn out the light. It will save a possible "trip" you didn't want to take.
Make time for exercise. Exercise has been proven to help make business travelers more productive. Health spas are a great way to stay fit on a trip, not to mention a haven for potential business contacts.
If you have back problems, two small suitcases with wheels are better than one large one. Wheel two smaller suitcases, or have a porter help you.
Jet lag can be avoided or minimized by conditioning your body accordingly. Even if your flight leaves in the daytime, go to bed on the flight if it's evening at your business destination.
Hand washing keeps you away from viruses, so can avoiding co-workers with contagious diseases.
If you fall ill by any chance, stay relaxed. Taking your medicine could help the sickness go away in a couple days. Take time to relax and read or watch an in-room movie. Most likely, your co-workers will be happy to see you resting and not being a threat to their health.
