TRAVELER WELL-BEING TIP #2
10 Easy Ways to Keep Your Body Hydrated While Traveling! ​

We’ve all been there—stepping off a plane feeling like a dried-up sponge, battling headaches, exhaustion, and skin so parched it could double as sandpaper. But why does travel dehydrate us so much?

Blame it on the dry airplane air, long hours on the go, and, let’s be honest, the lack of water-drinking discipline! But don’t worry—staying hydrated during travel doesn’t have to be a struggle. With a few simple tricks, you can land at your destination feeling refreshed, energized, and ready for adventure!

Dehydration isn’t just about feeling thirsty. It can cause:
🚨 Fatigue and sluggishness
🚨 Headaches and dizziness
🚨 Dry skin, cracked lips, and irritated eyes
🚨 Poor digestion and bloating
🚨 Even premature aging (yikes!)

So how do you prevent this hydration horror show? Here are...

💧 1. Drink plenty of water – Aim for 12 cups a day for women and 16 cups for men to stay properly hydrated. Carry a refillable water bottle and sip consistently.

🍉 2. Eat water-rich fruits – Snack on watermelon, oranges, strawberries, and grapes to keep hydration levels up while satisfying your travel cravings.

🥒 3. Load up on hydrating veggies – Cucumbers, celery, and leafy greens are packed with water and great for digestion too!

🧊 4. Chew on ice cubes – Sounds simple, but it helps! Cooling and hydrating at the same time.

🍹 5. Choose electrolyte-rich fluids – Coconut water, electrolyte tablets, or sports drinks (low-sugar options) can help replenish lost minerals.

🥶 6. Eat frozen fruit – Frozen grapes or berries make for a fun, refreshing, and hydrating snack.

🍵 7. Enjoy a warm bowl of soup – Hydrating and comforting, soups provide extra fluids while keeping your tummy happy!

🧴 8. Use a facial mist – A hydrating face spray keeps your skin from drying out, especially during long-haul flights.

🧘 9. Apply a hydrating sheet mask – Yes, even at 35,000 feet! Just maybe not in the middle seat.

​✈️ 10. Avoid dehydration triggers – Cut back on alcohol, caffeine, and salty foods that suck moisture from your body.
