Dashing All The Way: 5 Tips to Stay in Shape While Traveling

Whether you're visiting family, enjoying a winter getaway, or exploring a new destination, holiday travel can bring joy and festive feasting - but may also disrupt your health & fitness routine. Prolon’s science-backed nutrition can help keep you on track. From supporting muscle health to managing cravings, here are our top five tips for staying in shape during holiday travel:

1. Pack Your Protein: Protein isn’t just an essential nutrient for muscle health and strength; it also provides a steady source of energy, keeps you feeling fuller longer, and helps stabilize blood sugar levels - all reducing the temptation to snack on less nutritious options.
   
   To ensure you get balanced, clean protein on the go, add L-Protein to your packing list. Each convenient, single-serving sachet delivers 25g of plant-based protein scientifically formulated to maintain optimal protein levels and support muscle health without triggering excessive spikes in IGF-1—a growth hormone linked to accelerated aging, which can be elevated by animal-based proteins like meat, dairy, poultry, and whey. Just toss a sachet into your bag, mix it with water in a shaker bottle and use it as a meal replacement or snack, or after a workout to aid in muscle recovery.
   
   
2. Raise the (Fasting) Bar: Holiday travel can be hectic, and there aren’t always healthy snack options available - it’s easy to rely on grab-and-go snacks that are high in sugar, sodium, and unhealthy fats. These quick-fix bites aren’t great at helping you stay in shape, especially if you’ve made intermittent fasting part of your daily fitness routine. This is where are Fasting Bars come in.
   
   Scientifically designed to extend your fasting, fat-burning state, Fasting Bars support intermittent fasting on the go by providing nourishment to keep you satiated until your next meal. They also make great snacks and meal replacements for all, supplying essential nutrients without spiking blood sugar. Keep a few with you at all times to have healthy options readily on hand!
   
   
3. Go With Your Gut: Travel can disrupt your gut health in several ways. Stress, long hours of sitting, changes in routine, and shifts in food quality—especially the indulgent meals that often come with holidays—can impact digestion and leave you feeling bloated and off balance. These factors can upset the delicate balance of your gut microbes.

With dual-cap technology for superior absorption and bioavailability, L-Biome delivers the ideal dosage of ingredients in the safest and most effective manner possible and comes in an easy to pack, one-month supply box.Take two capsules daily during your trip, and start ahead of time to lay the groundwork for supporting a healthy gut while you travel.
   
   
4. Get Moving: There’s no reason your travel plans need to derail your fitness goals completely. Whether it's a brisk walk, stretching, yoga, a workout in your room, or a quick workout at the hotel gym, aim for 30 minutes a day - but get in whatever you can, even if it’s just 5 minutes. Any amount plays a role in helping you stay in shape! But remember, exercise is more than just that; it’s an important principle of the Longevity Lifestyle that not only improves cardiovascular health but also supports mental clarity and emotional well-being.
