6 Ways to Eat Healthy While Traveling

4. Learn the Area

Instead of flocking to familiar fast-food restaurants just because you know what’s on the menu, learn about the healthy options in the area you’ll be visiting. A quick Google or Yelp search (or an inquiry with a local) will turn up tons of restaurants that specialize in healthy fare in your travel destination or that, at least, have a wide variety of meals that won’t tank your diet.

5. Water Up

Make sure to keep hydrated on your trip and consider bringing a reusable water bottle with you at all times, especially if your trip is of the exploring the outdoors or scoping out the city on foot variety. Sticking to water can help you avoid some of the beverage pitfalls of traveling, like a few too many cocktails or glasses of wine or super sugary drinks. Keeping hydrated can also help you avoid jet lag and other travel-related health issues.

6. Indulge Sometimes

When you’re traveling somewhere that simply has amazing food that you don’t want to pass up (who wants to stick to traditional diet food on their Parisian adventure?), give yourself some leeway.

Don’t go totally overboard, but allow yourself a treat or two a day. You’ll feel less like you’re missing out and you’ll be less likely to go completely off the rails mid-trip.
