Traveling can be hectic, stressful and tough on your body and immune system. And the more time you spend in transition from one destination to another, the more difficult it can become to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle.
But there are plenty of products to pack in your bags that help you support your health and energy levels while you’re on the road, in the air or anywhere in between — without sacrificing convenience.
1. Protein bars
Skip the unhealthy rest stop and airport food, and avoid unpredictable airplane meal choices (seriously — what’s up with airplane food?) in favor of a protein-packed bar like the GNC Pro Performance® Oatmeal Protein Bar Deluxe. One bar has enough calories and substance to replace a meal, and the 30 grams of protein will fuel your energy and contribute to appetite control, so you’ll be less likely to make an unhealthy snacking choice.
2. Multivitamins
A daily multivitamin is a staple to any healthy lifestyle — and it’s especially crucial to a constant traveler. Multivitamins help you get the combination of basic vitamins and nutrients you need when you’re living a fast-paced, stress-filled lifestyle that (sometimes) includes eating unhealthy or highly processed foods. Try a formula from the GNC Women’s Mega® orGNC Mega® Men collections. There are several varieties of each to fit your individual needs, age and health goals.
3. Vitamin B supplements
Most people take Vitamin B for its energy support and metabolic benefits — which are, of course, beneficial to the busy and frequent traveler. GNC B-Complex Big 100® tablets will supply you with plenty of vitamin B.
4. Omega-3 supplements
According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, omega-3s are essential fatty acids that help maintain heart, brain, joint, eye and skin health. But it can be tough to find foods rich in omega-3s while you’re on the go. Eliminate the issue of seeking out these foods by adding a fish oil capsule like the GNC Triple Strength Fish Oil 1500 to your daily regimen.
5. Probiotics
Bacteria get a bad rep, but not all bacteria are bad. Probiotic supplements give you ample “good” bacteria that help bolster and improve your immune and digestive systems. GNC Ultra 25 Probiotic Complex with Enzymes is the perfect probiotic for the frequent traveler, because the tablets don’t require refrigeration.
