3
Keep routines visible
Read the story, then use these themes to decide what deserves attention in your own routine.
Having traveled to over 110 countries in the past three years with nothing but a carry-on suitcase, I’ve nailed it down when it comes to the travel essentials I need to keep my immunity high while my body is working through the environmental and dietary changes I’ve encountered.
If you plan to travel in the near future, whether for business or pleasure, thoughtful planning is essential to be sure you have everything you’ll need to stay healthy and be prepared. I’ve used Life Priority supplements for years, and V-Guard 2™ and Lifeshield™ are my daily must haves, if nothing else. In order to combat the jet lag (or any hangovers) the Lift Caps™ are truly a miracle. Being in a new hotel every five or so days, I’ve also found that closing out my evening with Calcium Priority™ and Magnesium Priority™ helps my body relax and drift off to sleep easily.
If I had more luggage space, I’d love to be taking more than these vitamins daily. If you choose to travel with more than a carry-on suitcase, next up on the Life Priority’s supplement list would be Vitamin D3 Priority™ , Omega-3 Priority™ , and Mind™ .
Traveling with Supplements
Pack the supplements that will help you stay healthy while you are away. If space is limited, focus on stay-well supplements supporting digestive, sleep and immune health.
Pack probiotics for gut health for your gastrointestinal health to help with change of diet and delicacies you may indulge in while you’re away. I use probiotic and digestive enzymes when I am anticipating an experimental meal!
Themes to carry forward
Packing
Choose the few items you actually take daily
Start with your core routine, then add only what travel tends to disrupt for you: immune support, energy, digestion, sleep, or recovery.
Schedule
Make time zones and hotel rooms easier on your body
Keep hydration visible, move after long sitting, get morning light, and keep your evening routine simple enough to do when you are tired.
Consistency
A small kit beats a perfect kit
Use labeled packets or a compact organizer. If the routine is easy to see and easy to reach, you are more likely to keep it going.
Protect your immune system with Vitamins C and D and zinc for immune support. My must haves are V-Guard 2™ and Lifeshield™. V-Guard 2™ helps my immune system while the Lifeshield™ provides me with the nutrients I might not otherwise be getting in my meals.
Follow your sleep regimen and pack sleep-friendly supplements to insure quality sleep.
Calcium and Magnesium combined is my secret sauce!
When packing powder supplements, pour into a heavy-duty resealable bag and label to expedite airport security . I’ve only had trouble with this in South America, and showing them a picture of the bottles in my cabinet at home helps persuade them that it’s really only vitamins and supplements.
Pack supplements in your carry-on luggage and seal tightly.
