If you’re looking for budget travel advice, the best budget travel tips, or ways to save money when traveling, you’ve come to the perfect spot. I adore a good deal, especially when it comes to traveling on a budget! 

Traveling is a fantastic experience and being able to do it on a budget such as staying at the St Barts Villas makes it much more accessible. You’ll also have more money to spend on another excursion if you spent less on one. There are cheap vacation destinations all around the world, including several budget travel destinations in Europe. There are many methods to save money while traveling, from carefully organizing your travel budget before leaving, to considering camping and car-sharing, to the decisions you make (such as eating) while on your trip. 

It’s an age-old legend. You finally get to go on that fantastic vacation, only to come down with a nasty illness or gain a few undesired pounds. Traveling can expose you to a variety of infections and viruses, as well as alter your food and exercise regimen. 

Avisheh Forouzesh, MD, a travel medicine specialist at Advanced Infectious Disease Medical, provides specialized services. Dr. Forouzesh guides how to avoid travel-related infections and ensures you have the necessary immunizations to preserve your health during your consultation. 

Dr. Forouzesh suggests the following actions whether you’re seeking ways to avoid becoming sick while traveling or just want to keep as healthy as possible. 

Before your journey, schedule a consultation.
Dr. Forouzesh can walk you through any travel vaccines you need to avoid diseases endemic to certain countries, such as typhoid and hepatitis A, during your pre-trip appointment. Dr. Forouzesh can also prescribe medication to assist you to prevent contracting malaria, as well as advice on how to avoid mosquito bites, tick bites, and other difficulties. 

Sleep
When you’re tired, you’re more prone to get sick, so get plenty of rest while you’re on the road. Being on the road is also more physically taxing than being at home, so pay attention to your health and take breaks when necessary. 

Keep your hygiene
One thing that most people skip is personal hygiene, especially oral. According to a  dentist in Gilbert, oral hygiene is very important for our health. It affects our physical and mental health. 

Take a walk
Whether you’re at home or on the road, exercise is beneficial to your health. If you can’t make it to the gym while you’re away from home, find alternative methods to keep your body moving, such as walking whenever possible and using the stairs rather than the elevator. 

Consume breakfast
Especially while traveling, breakfast is the most crucial meal of the day. Instead of starting your day on an empty stomach, eat something nutritious like fruit, cereal, or oatmeal before leaving the house. 

Make sure you drink enough water
It’s easy to become dehydrated while traveling, so make sure to stay hydrated. Start your day with a large glass of water and keep a custom labeled water bottles with you at all times

Limit your intake of sweets and alcoholic beverages.
When it’s easy to overeat and drink while traveling, doing so might result in undesired weight gain and sleep disruption. Consume sweets and alcohol in moderation to be safe. 

Consume nutritious foods
When it comes to staying healthy while traveling, it all comes down to making healthy choices, which includes choosing the right dishes when dining out. Choose alternatives that include plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables whenever available. 

Making your meals is another way to ensure that you eat healthy foods. Even if you don’t have access to a kitchen, you may stock up on fresh foods and prepare simple meals like salads and sandwiches. When you’re out and about, don’t forget to pick up some apples, oranges, bananas, or almonds to keep your energy levels up. 

Don’t go overboard.
When traveling, it’s easy to burn the candle at both ends, but this might exhaust you and leave you vulnerable to diseases. Instead, take your time and explore at your leisure. Pay attention to your body and take breaks whenever possible. 

Get rid of jet lag
Jet lag may undermine your best efforts to be healthy when traveling and might make it difficult to enjoy yourself. Use melatonin or chamomile tea to help you sleep on your travel and for the first few evenings after you arrive at your location to minimize jet lag. To block out any sensory disturbances, Dr. Forouzesh suggests using earplugs and an eye mask. She also advises not to use your phone, tablet, or laptop before going to bed. 

You should also avoid alcoholic and caffeine-containing beverages because they might affect your sleep. Instead, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. And, as tempting as it may seem, do not sleep in when you first arrive. Try to get into a sleep routine that is appropriate for your current place. 

Book an appointment with Advanced Infectious Disease Medical online or over the phone now for more information on remaining healthy while traveling.
