Fly healthy and be happy, part 2

March 13, 2010 By Trudy Scott 36 Comments

We want to be in fly-healthy mode before we leave and while we are away. Part 2 covers what to pack and take with you to stay healthy while you’re away and how best to eat while you’re there. 

What to pack and take with you –

  • First aid for a cold – extra vitamin C, garlic tablets, oil of oregano tablets and tea tree oil (a great throat gargle).
  • Cans of sardines and oysters, grass-fed beef jerky and fruit for emergency rations
  • Portable blender and smoothie ingredients like whey protein powder and coconut milk
  • A good supply of delicious herbal tea bags, like licorice, rooibos, lemon-ginger

When you are there –

  • Veggie omelets are great for breakfast or whip up a smoothie
  • Ask for olive oil and vinegar for a healthful salad dressing      
  • Drink plenty of water and herbal tea
  • Make good meal choices for lunch and dinner – order meat or fish or chicken with a serving of veggies and/or salad (use your sardines as a backup if needed)
  • If you’re in a place like Vegas and are exposed to 2nd-hand smoke, take extra vitamin C
  • Have fun and enjoy!

      I’m laughing because you think it’s funny – I also bring coconut milk and berries! And the smoothies I make are SO much better than the bagels and muffins you get in most hotels! Next time u go on a trip share a room with a nutritionist and you’ll be well-fed with super-healthy food!

    These are great tips! I also always travel with essential oils – lavender, tea tree, and a Deep Relief blend. With those I can fix about anything that comes my way. Traveling and staying healthy can be a challenge, your suggestions are a good help.

      Hi Sue – thanks. And you can’t go wrong with lavender – its one of my favorite essential oils too – in a nice hot bath to wind down and de-stress or on a hanky next to your pillow to help you sleep. The hanky trick is great for helping kids sleep too.

      So glad you enjoyed this. I love the Tribest blenders – they come with a handy-dandy smoothie mug and lid (2 in fact) and is nice and compact for packing and taking with you. Enjoy those smoothies!

    Hi Trudy,
    It seems like every time I fly in an airplane I get sick afterward. I have a trip coming up in a couple of weeks. I have to fly, so I will use your tips and try to keep myself healthy.

    Thanks for the tips. I always seem to get sick after trips away and I’m convinced it’s because I don’t eat well. I am definitely going to use these tips on my next trip.

    The emergency provisions are vital. I always try to bring snacks. Recently a friend was traveling and they ran out of food on the airplane and he wasn’t prepared with his own snack pack.

    I’ve pondered the portable blender for my protein shakes but with the new baggage guidelines I have to pack carefully — blender or extra shoes? Maybe I need to look at priorities. 😉

    Thanks for sharing.

      Mmm peppermint tea – yummy and great for indigestion and the oil on the temple removes a headache on the spot. I do also carry a little baggie of a few essential oils too and peppermint is one of them.

    I wish I knew her email address. On a recent flight there were three children, under 12 or so, with Mom and Dad. Each boarded the flight with bags of McD breakfasts. Okay, you know whatever, fast and easy and they are happy, right? Then we are leaving the flight some 6 hours later and I hear “Okay, Okay, we will stop at Wendy’s on the way home.” Same family. Wonder what they ate during their stay? I would like to send your info to her so hopefully one day they might try it out.

      Poor kids – it’s no surprise there is so much obesity, ADD, ADHD, depression, anxiety- and kids with ear infections, colds and flu!
      I’ve been watching Jamie Oliver’s “Food Revolution” and the 6 year olds could not identify a tomato, a potato, an eggplant, a cabbage (and many more) but happily yelled out the answers when fries, burger and pizzas were shown! What are we doing to our kids?!

    Every time I go away, my stomach gets into knots and I can barely eat. Not sure if it’s my nerves from the plane or what?? I definitely think smoothies would help. What type of protein do you suggest?

      I’d suggest trying to settle your stomach 1st – with ginger tea or crystalized ginger. If you also get air-sick then ginger will be great. If it is nerves try something like Gaba-calm or Rescue Remedy.
      For your smoothie, whey protein is my top choice and then rice protein. I don’t encourage soy protein powder.
      Hope this helps…

    What a great list — I need to print this out and keep it with my travel wallet. It is so easy to make bad food choices when you are traveling. I love the idea of a portable blender! Like Lisa, I would tend to pack more shoes….but I am going to challenge myself to get my priorities straight next trip! 🙂

    I like the portable blender idea as well…

    Any recommendations for a good smoothie for an afternoon “pick-me-up” when energy tends to get really low? Something with a good amount of protein and some zip?

      This is a basic smoothie recipe: whey protein powder, water, frozen berries like organic raspberries, banana, 1/3 cup coconut milk – and then add some organic greens and whatever else you fancy – ginger, cinnamon, nut butters etc.
      But I would look at why you need an afternoon pick up – and make sure you have had a good breakfast with protein (a smoothie is good), a good lunch and snacks through the day.
      It that doesn’t do it perhaps assessing for adrenal burnout by doing adrenal testing. I test ALL my clients. We all lead such hectic lives we can all do with adrenal support.

    I know which hotel room I’ll be in for breakfast at our next retreat!!! I’ll have to borrow your blender! 🙂 I LOVE coconut milk smoothies, too! My green smoothies are a stable for me. Thanks for such great info! I forgot to pack my green powder drink at the last retreat and was really missing them.
