Good morning! This is the time of the year where students are stressed taking finals, teachers are grading furiously, and many are planning summer vacations. My husband and I are enjoying a beach vacation. How do you make a vacation fun and healthy? Here are a couple of my tips to a happy, healthy vacation.
- Pack Healthy Snacks
- Check out this post for ideas for healthy snacks.
- Relax
- We know stress is not healthy. You can read more here about the consequences of lack of sleep. Then, relax, rest up, and be healthy.
- Split a Meal
- This is an easy, economical way to be healthy. Most restaurant portions are notoriously large. So split and entree and add an extra salad or vegetable side.
- Pack a Picnic
- Picnics are a great way to get a variety of healthy foods. It is economical and fun! Simply visit a grocery store on vacation, pick up a checkered cloth, and enjoy time with your family.
- Hydrate
- We know hydration is important especially in the summer months. So, keep hydrated by keeping a water bottle handy for each member of your family. And, order water with meals, which is an easy, cheap, healthy choice.
- Be Physically Active
- Include physically activity into your vacation just like you do in your life. We will discuss more ways to include physical activity into your vacation later this week.
