Enjoy a Healthy Family Vacation With These Tips
However, traveling with children can generate various
unforeseen events that affect your vacation. Therefore, to avoid them, it is
important to plan everything in detail and not leave anything to chance.
1. Protect Yourself From The Sun
Regardless of whether the family destination is the beach,
nature or an archaeological site, on vacation we always spend more time
outdoors and in the sun.
For this reason, your suitcase should never be without a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a factor of 30 or higher. They should apply it generously 30 minutes before going out and after every 2 hours.
Also, take into account that the light reflected by sand or water increases exposure to ultraviolet radiation, as well as the risk of suffering from vision problems. For this reason, it is recommended to wear sunglasses with a 100% UVA / UVB protection index to obtain the best protection against ultraviolet rays.
You should also consider that everyone wears a hat to cover
their face, ears, and neck from sunlight. A good idea would be to bring an
umbrella if the destination is characterized by intense sun all day.
2. Eat a Healthy Diet
Going on vacation means trying many traditional dishes and desserts, but that does not mean that you and your family have to stop following a proper and healthy diet.
Constipation is a common travel companion, so instead of relaxing in the diet, we recommend consuming foods rich in fiber such as fruits and vegetables, which promote intestinal transit. They can also consume any source of protein.
On the other hand, take advantage of these moments of
relaxation to eat without haste and enjoying every bite of what you consume.
Apply this with traditional gastronomy to discover the local flavors that make
each town unique.
3. Drink Lots Of Fluids
On vacation, and especially during the summer, you should
drink plenty of fluids. Always dehydration occurs when your body does not have
as much water and fluids as it should for the body.
Thus, it is important that everyone maintains hydration levels to the maximum of their capacity. Therefore, remember to drink at least two liters of water a day to keep your body hydrated. Do it even before you feel thirsty. This will help them cope with the heat, as well as avoid intestinal problems.
Always carry a bottle of water with you and avoid taking it from pipes or other unsafe sources. Eating well and drinking plenty of water are essential to keep your energy at peak and be able to carry out all the activities you plan to do as a family.
4. Bring a First Aid Kit
Although we all want a fun and joyful family trip, it is
always good to be prepared for any contingency. This is why it is important to
carry a first aid kit. In it, place everything you need to treat wounds, burns,
stings, bruises or sore throat (if you go to a high place) and in sufficient
quantities.
For example, hydrogen peroxide, skin disinfectants, sterile
gauze and tape will allow you to quickly clean and heal a wound. Likewise, pain
relievers, flu and antihistamines can also be very helpful.
On the other hand, if someone in your family suffers from a disease, do not forget to take their medication and control material with them. Also be aware of the warnings and side effects of medications, as, for example, some may cause more sensitivity to sunlight.
5. Stay Active!
Although vacations are also an opportunity to rest and relax, it does not mean that they must spend all day in bed in a sedentary way.
Plan an active vacation that includes activities that involve some physical effort, but are not without fun. Hiking, cycling routes, or simply strolling through the historic city center are some alternatives that will take you away from a sedentary holiday.
6. Get Enough Sleep
After a day full of activities, it is necessary to regain energy through sleep. To avoid drowsiness or insomnia, try to get as much sleep as possible. Also try to keep a regular sleep schedule. The next day they will feel renewed and want to do many activities again.
Living a healthy life is not so easy when you go on a trip, but with these tips you can do it more easily.
