Stay Healthy for Your Travels

Certainly, if you’ve shelled out money to enjoy your travels, you want to be well to enjoy them!  Here, the CDC, medical directors and others weigh in on how to stay healthy when you travel.

First of all, the CDC highly recommends that you stay home if you are sick.  Get the H1N1 vaccine and wash your hands as much as possible.  Dr. Margaret Lewin, the medical director of the health plans program started by Daniel Touizer, Cinergy Health, recommends that you stay hydrated if you are flying.  Avoid touching your face on the trip as much as possible, since that’s how germs transfer to you, and wash your hands as much as possible.

Stay healthy on your trip by eating well, taking Vitamin D, and getting plenty of sleep.  Enjoy!
