Easy Ways to Keep Your Stomach Happy While Traveling

Thinking about going on a trip soon? Whether it’s to see family or escape to a warmer place, we all love traveling, especially after the last couple of years!

But let’s face it, traveling can mess with our routine – different sleeping patterns, new places, exciting foods, and maybe a bit more alcohol than usual. All of this can stress out our bodies and lead to issues like bloating, constipation, or diarrhea, even if you usually have a healthy gut.

Here are some simple tips to keep your stomach happy while you’re on the go:

Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water, especially if you’re having alcoholic drinks. For each alcoholic beverage, have a glass of water. Make sure the water you’re drinking is safe, especially in unfamiliar places.

Watch What You Eat: Load up on fiber-rich fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and beans to keep things moving in your gut. Try to follow the magic plate rule with every meal – 1/3 high-quality protein, 1/3 veggies or greens, and 1-3 tablespoons of healthy fats.

Listen to Your Body: Don’t ignore the urge to use the bathroom. Holding it in can lead to irregular bowel movements and discomfort. Find a bathroom when you need it.

Move Your Body: Take short walks or do some yoga to keep your colon moving, especially after long flights or car rides. Small changes like taking the stairs can make a big difference in your gut health.

Get Enough Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night. Stick to a bedtime routine, limit screen time before bed, and create a calming environment in your room.

Shop Local: If possible, buy fresh, local food and cook at your accommodation instead of eating out. It’s usually better for your digestive health.

Do Your Research: Know your destination, nearby stores, and the type of food available. Being prepared can help you make better choices and reduce stress.
