So how can you protect yourself from sickness and environmental stress and keep to your healthy diet while traveling? This begins a multi-part series containing some great healthful tips for staying healthy when traveling.

Tip #1:

Boost your immune system before you go.

Don’t even think about walking into an airport, train station or other public place like this without protecting your immune system first. How you may ask? For at least three days before leaving start drinking lots of vegetable juice and taking immune-boosting herbal supplements. This works even better if you’re already drinking fresh juices every day as a regular habit. But even if you’re not do this before you travel.

For supplements, try garlic supplements, Echinacea, goldenseal, ginger and other similar immune herbs.

It’s also important to get plenty of zinc in your diet by eating pumpkin seeds or taking high-quality zinc supplements. Taking lots of vitamin C and vitamin D3 is also beneficial. Be sure to you get high-quality supplements.
