It’s the night before the long-awaited and oh-so-needed, summer vacation.
Everyone’s hyped and packing their bags. Swimsuits, hats, bug spray, flip-flops, and sunscreen are all being stowed away with joy.
Summer vacations are cherished memories, and I’m so excited for you. But I’m also a parent. I know that traveling with friends and family can be stressful—especially if someone gets sick.
Therefore, just follow these healthy vacation tips to reduce stress and sickness and increase fun and happiness.
Dr. Daryl’s Vacation Health Hacks
Hydrate—Big Time.
Traveling (planes, trains, cars, etc.), summer heat, and new environments can make you more dehydrated than normal. Watch out for fatigue, constipation, dizziness, headaches, darker urine, and even feeling thirsty because they are all signs of dehydration.
Dehydration weakens your immune system (aka invites illnesses in) and can lead to a range of other health issues that are never invited on vacations. Hydrate, hydrate, and hydrate again with pure water. Bottoms up!
At least we drank our greens…
Make this your vacation motto. Obviously, I fully encourage you to stay on your Alkamind eating lifestyle on vacation, but I’m also a realistic man. It’s not always possible when on the go, and trying new foods and desserts is part of a vacation.
Therefore, ensure that everyone in your crew drinks Acid-Kicking Greens each morning.
Just one little scoop powers you up with a superfood blend of 21 vegetables, grasses, herbs, low-sugar fruits, and nutrient-rich superfoods that will help your body fight inflammation, lose weight, and gain energy. A can of Acid-Kicking Greens might be the most important item you pack.
Make any coffee an acid-kicking cup of goodness.
Sitting outside charming coffee shops and enjoying the local brews and views is such a delightful part of vacation life. I also understand that a coffee drinker takes a vacation from their morning java—no one will be having a good time.
Luckily, you are in the right place. Alkamind is all about adding in—not taking away. Enjoy every sip, no matter where in our beautiful world you are, with Acid-Kicking Coffee Alkalizer. Kick the acid (an immune system wrecker) right out of your cuppa to feel energized and amazing all day long.
Grounding and Forest Bathing
Stress is the #1 cause of acid and a major contributor to all illnesses, and connecting with nature is one of the best ways to release stress—aka acid.
Take advantage of the beautiful place you are visiting by practicing grounding and forest bathing with your family.
Grounding (earthing) is a therapeutic technique that focuses on realigning your electrical energy by reconnecting to the earth. It’s simply digging your bare feet into the dirt, sand, rocks, grass, or wherever you are.
Forest Bathing is the act of breathing deeply and quietly observing nature. After just a few minutes, you will notice stress and anxiety fleeing from your body and awe and wonder flowing in.
Cheers to a fun, connected (nature and family), and healthy vacation.
