Do This to Stay Healthy on Vacation Halodoc, Jakarta — Who says it’s hard to stay healthy on vacation? For someone who is committed to staying healthy, it is not impossible to be able to exercise and eat nutritiously while on vacation. Filling the end of year vacation with fun things is the dream of everyone who travels. Especially if the tourist destination during the vacation is the first time you have visited. Of course you want to explore every corner of the city.

Tips to Stay Healthy While on Vacation So, so that you don’t regret it, you need to do these things to stay healthy and live long even while enjoying a vacation:

  1. Drink Water Being too busy enjoying the trip and tasting various local foods can make someone forget to drink water. In fact, when doing high activities during a vacation, the body will need more water.

When you don’t drink enough water, your body will become dehydrated. This can also cause you to lack concentration, feel weak, easily sleepy and even have headaches. In the long term, not drinking enough water can also trigger kidney disease. For that, even though you are on vacation, you must ensure that your body receives two liters of water every day.

  1. Eating Patterns Going to a new place is not complete without trying local food. However, you still have to know the limits and avoid foods that can interfere with your health, especially digestion. In addition, choose healthy foods as much as possible. You can get around this by occasionally cooking yourself or going to a restaurant that provides a healthy food menu.

Also avoid eating too much processed meat, because this type of food can increase the risk of cancer. Instead of meat, choose foods that contain fish. Fish has been proven to have many health benefits.

  1. Light Exercise To stay healthy, make time to exercise during your vacation. Light exercise is enough to keep your body fit. You can stretch when you wake up and before doing activities. Or just light movements before going to bed.

Walking is also the most appropriate choice of exercise during a vacation. Instead of using a motorized vehicle, you can choose to go to a location that is easy to reach on foot. Try to walk for at least 30 minutes every day.

  1. Get Enough Sleep Have you ever felt so excited that it’s hard to sleep? The feeling of excitement will definitely envelop your vacation trip and your family. However, you still need to get enough sleep to keep your body fit.

Although the temptation to stay awake all night plus ‘when else while you’re on vacation’ is very difficult to resist, sleep is still important. Because when you sleep, your body will process and fill up with energy so that you are ready to face a new adventure the next day. In addition, based on research, sleeping at least 6 hours per day will reduce the risk of death for up to 14 years.

  1. Sunbathing Well, sunbathing in the morning sun is one way to maintain a healthy body. Because sunlight is a natural source of vitamin D for the body. Recently, a study found that someone who lacks vitamin D is at risk of premature death.

The study was conducted at the University of California-San Diego and involved 32 participants. The researchers then analyzed the levels of vitamin D in the participants’ blood. As a result, test participants with lower levels of vitamin D or 25-hydroxyvitamin were twice as likely to experience this death compared to those with higher levels of vitamin D in their blood. When on vacation at the beach, you can take advantage of this opportunity to sunbathe.
