What to bring when you travel frequently

I travel a lot. In fact, at least twice in a month for 2 days 1 night each. Not long, but it is quite stressful for the body.

I will usually bring both Omega fish oil and daily with me, which I think it is easiest to bring. I will take both daily and fish oil one each three times a day. Helps to reduce stress and keep me going.

It will be even better if I take B-complex and Bio-C with me as well. Just that my vitamin box is not big enough. Perhaps, I just making excuses. Hahaha...

If you travel, breakfast how?

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Taking a good breakfast starts the day on the right foot. If we eat tons of rubbish food in the morning, it will affect the body in the entire day.

Here are my recommendations:

1) If you don't like to eat fruits, then drink as much freshly squeezed fruit juice as possible. Drink to your limit.

2) After drinking your juices, rest for a while. Your next plate of food should be full of fibre. Takes lots of muesli with soya milk or yoghurt. If you don't like muesli, take corn flakes or whatever. Fill up your stomach with fibre as much as possible. When we travel, our bowel movement is always affected. Thus, taking fibre in the morning helps to reduce this problem.

3) Should you want to take good protein in the morning, avoid your favourite sunny side up or omelette. They are oily and it is bad protein. Our Liver will have a hard time breaking down this protein. I will encourage you to take poach or hard boil egg, even though they are not nice.

4) Lastly, go for some brown or wholemeal bread. If you are still not full, then eat the rest of the stuffs, but not too much.

What to exercise if there is no gym in the hotel?

So, let's say you are staying in the hotel and there's no gym. Also, there is no park for you to jog. What exercise should you do?

Sit-up? But how many can you do to burn your calories?
Pilates? That's good too. It helps to strengthen your core muscles. Unless you can do the hundreds, if not, you can't burn much calories.

So what else do you have? Well, if you are staying in a hotel that is reasonably tall, I will encourage you to walk up the stairs. Yup, walk up the stairs. That's right. It is a good opportunity to strengthen your cardiovascular muscles. Take your time to walk up the stairs. If you have stamina, walk at least 3 times. Walk up and walk down. If you can't accomplish even 1 round, just relax and stop. Don't force yourself.

1 round is equivalent to 1 up and 1 down.

What to bring when you travel?

So, if you are going to travel? What Nutrilite to bring then?

If you only want to bring one thing, then, I will recommend you to bring Double X. Take it 3 times a day. However, if you have a large luggage bag and you can bring more, here's my recommendation. Why these stuffs? Well, they are currently in my luggage now.

1) Double X
2) B-Complex
3) Bio-C
4) Lecithin E
5) Salmon Omega Fish Oil
6) Fruit & Vegetable Fibre
7) Calcium & Magnesium (forgot to bring this time)
8) Daily

How to take them?

Double X: 1/-/1/-
Daily: -/1/-/-
Bio-C: 4/4/4/4
B-complex: 3/3/3/-
Calcium Magnesium: 1/1/1/- (take together with B-complex to improve digestion)
Lecithin E: 4/4/4/4 (if you eat a lot of rubbish on that day, take more before sleep)
Salmon Fish Oil: 1/-/-/-
Fruit and Vegetable Fibre: -/4/4/- (take it before your meal to ensure good bowel while travelling)

How's that sound? Unless we won't fall sick while travelling.
