Staying Healthy while on Vacation

Summer is here again. For most of us, when we travel it is a time to EAT!!!! I feel una, e no easy. I'm also guilty of that. Vacation and weight gain seem to go hand in hand. It is so tempting with all the foods especially junk food which is cheap and the fact that you may not get to eat them back in Naija. We tend to consume alot, especially when we go out SHOPPING.




Hmmm this is another topic for another day. Naija and SHOPPING. Una feel me. For me I can't travel without gaining weight, mine is even as funny as going to the village, I come back with extra weight. I have decided now, to make a conscious effort in eating healthy while on vacation.

Tips on how to stay healthy while on vacation.

1.Eat Balanced Meals: Try not to indulge on highly rich foods three times a day. Considering it is a holiday, you can have a treat once a day, however check your calories and balance it out with healthier meals during the day. Like a healthy salad, fruits and you can go for the organic options and you will definitely get a whole lot of variety.

2.Reduce your alcohol and fizzy drink intake: Go for healthier options such as fruit juices, smoothies or better still WATER.

3.Walk, Walk, Walk: When going shopping, try walking a reasonable distance before taking the train or bus. But no need to talk, Naija wey dey waka well for UK. I'm also guilty, na money wey dey save. Use the stairs and not the elevators or register in a gym if you can.

4.Just choose wisely: Always make a better judgement in everything especially eating. You will be amazed at the healthier, yummy options you can get without piling up the calories. Because you are on holiday doesn't mean calories are free and we should have extra baggage.
