How to Stay Healthy During Your Vacation

How to Stay Healthy During Your Vacation

(ARA) - It's the time of year when families are planning summer vacations. Whether you end up at a mountain resort or at a campsite near a lake, the best way to enjoy your vacation is to stay healthy. There are some things that you can do to help prevent illness as you travel.

"You can take a few preventative measures now to ensure your trip is lively and fun," says Guy Evans, president of Bioactive Nutrients. "Washing hands often and getting plenty of rest are always important to staying healthy, and when you're traveling, there are different circumstances that are new to your body and your immune system."

For example, in the confines of an airplane, the air you're breathing is circulated along with the air of 200 other people. Or, if you are traveling to a foreign country, where the water and food are new to your digestive system, there are bacteria and viruses everywhere waiting to attack. If you're tired or run down, your immune system may not be able to fight off the foreign bodies in the new environment.

But you can fight back in other ways. Arm yourself with supplements to boost your immune system. Bioactive Nutrients, a Spooner, Wisc., company in the business of helping people live healthier lifestyles, has a number of products that can help you stay healthy during your travels.

"In addition to daily supplementation of a good multivitamin and multi-mineral, two weeks before your trip, enhance your diet by increasing vitamin and mineral intake and other supplements to your daily routine," explains Evans. "Increasing dietary supplements that provide essential vitamins and minerals is an important part of your pre-travel immune boost, because they're hard to get from food alone.

"Food processing destroys these beneficial organisms, which are becoming harder to find in food, even yogurt," Evans continues. "Your body depends on beneficial bacteria to manufacture B vitamins and to produce lactase and other antibacterial substances."

Ensure your health and your vacation this year with supplements that supply you with good bacteria for digestive support, immune system support and overall wellness. Visit www.BioactiveNutrients.com or call (800) 879-6504 for more information.
