Bitten by the travel bug? Nothing broadens the mind and refreshes your outlook in life more than travel. But before you get on the plane, make sure you pack these 3 supplements. They help you stay fit and strong for the adventure and journey ahead. Scroll down!
1. IMMUNE BOOSTER
Nobody wants to visit the doctor when traveling in a foreign country. Unfortunately, travel subjects our body to significant amount of stress. Bacteria and viruses circulating in the airplane, inadequate sleep and rest, disrupted circadian rhythm, eating street food or trying out new foods and unfamiliar surroundings can all add up and knock off your immune system. Even the strongest immune system may not be spared. So, we recommend you pack an immune booster for the journey. To give your body a good head start, start taking it two weeks before you travel.
2. GUT-FRIENDLY PRE/O PROBIOTICS
Never underestimate these small but mighty creatures. They are present in our gut by the trillions. 100 trillion to be exact! Akin to tiny soldiers they protect our gut from invading germs that cause diarrhea, bloat, indigestion and other sickness. When their numbers increase, we thrive. But when their numbers reduce, we suffer all kinds of ailments. Lack of sleep, stress, irregular meals and unfamiliar microbes lurking in food and water can reduce their numbers greatly.
So, pack along additional probiotics to make your travel experience more pleasant especially if you generally have a weak gut and are prone to food poisoning. Look for pre/o probiotics strains such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus (aka travel probiotics because they help prevent traveler's diarhoea), Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium lactis. Best to get probiotics that don't require refrigeration because that's really inconvenient while traveling.

3. ADAPTOGENS
Adaptogens have got the limelight recently because of their ability to help the body combat stress. Modern life has subjected humans to new levels of stress and adaptogenic herbs have been shown to balance, restore and protect our body from stress. However, adaptogens are not new to this millenium. Ayurvedic medicine has been harnessing their healing properties for centuries. Some popular adaptogens are panax ginseng, holy basil or tulsi, ashwagandha, astragalus, cordyceps, eleuthero, maca and rhodiola. Today, adaptogens come in various form; powder, capsule, tea, etc. We recommend taking the capsule form when traveling. No hassle to prepare, just swallow and go!
