We all have our rituals and little quirks. When I am flying I always have nasal spray in my purse. I suffer from really bad sinus issues and I find taking a few squirts just before take off helps. Here are some other hacks that I believe help with my immunity building prior to travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- I start loading up on my Vitamin C Supplements. Normally I take about 500mg per day. A week before travel I increase this to 1000mg<\/li>
- SSS Tonic. This is old school tonic that is good for everything and is synonymous with Ginger Tea to Jamaicans. This high potency tonic provides my daily dose of iron and additional vitamin B and is available locally.<\/li>
- Dr. Schulze’s ECH+ Echinacea Plus. This is my wonder herbal supplement, made up of echinacea, garlic and pepper. I take it up to 5 days before travel and the first five days of my stay.<\/li>
- My homemade cactus juice. It is a simple blend of soaked Tuna (Prickly Pear)cactus and water. Known for its immune boosting properties among a wide variety of other uses. I use one piece with 2 cups of water and I drink this daily for about a week before travel. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

No one likes to be congested and definitely not on your vacation. Being plagued with sinus issues I am always looking to keep a clear head and nostrils. One simple action I find works is having a trusty nasal spray. Two squirts just before takeoff makes a big difference in my flight experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I use Otrivin<\/a> or other over the counter nasal sprays. You can also try Nasonex, by prescription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\nVaccination<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Today, getting vaccinated against against the covid-19 virus is still a choice. However, traveling unvaccinated requires a bit of planning as more and more countries require it for entry. Prior to the pandemic I don’t believe much thought went into the decision to get vaccines to travel. It was just a requirement of the country you were visiting. For example getting the yellow fever vaccine to enter different countries in Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strong immune systems<\/a> will not only protect you during travel but are important in the fight against covid-19. Whatever your decision is around vaccination, choose what’s best for you as you embark on your travels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Staying Healthy During and After Your Travels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It is tempting to throw caution to the wind when you travel, especially if your travel is for leisure. However, you still want to protect yourself from getting sick mid travel or when you return home. So on your trip, try to eat well, stay hydrated and avoid anything in excess. Do you exercise on vacation? I rarely travel without my tennis racket<\/a> and I try to stay active!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope you these tips and hacks were beneficial to you. How do you protect yourself prior to, during and after travel? We would love to hear from you. Until next week. Take care!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
