6 Ways to Stay Healthy While Traveling
Whether you’re exploring a new city, spending quality time with loved ones, or attending a business event, traveling can be both incredibly fun and extremely exhausting. Here are 6 tips that can help you stay healthy and happy while traveling:
1. Exercise
Even a small amount of exercise can significantly improve your mood, energy level, and overall health while traveling. Hotel guests at Embassy Suites Rockford Riverfront have many ways to get fit during their stay! You can visit our large fitness center for cardio machines and weights or stop by our indoor pool for a few laps. Looking for a fun group-fitness activity? Every Wednesday night from the end of June through August, Davis Park (located right outside the hotel) hosts a free, high-energy workout class that everyone will enjoy!
2. Hydrate
Airplane trips and long car rides can exhaust and dehydrate your body, so make sure you drink water throughout your day to prevent headaches, muscle cramps, and exhaustion. You can also stay healthy by cutting down on dehydrating drinks such as coffee and soda.
3. Eat Right
Traveling can cause extra stress on your body, which makes you more susceptible to illness. Fuel your immune system by getting your daily recommended servings of fruits and vegetables. Embassy Suites Rockford Riverfront offers free made-to-order breakfast every morning, so you won’t have to go far to start your day with a delicious, healthy meal. People who eat breakfast have more energy, improved concentration, and less hunger throughout the day.
4. Take a Moment for Yourself
It’s important to care for both your body and your mind while traveling, so take a few moments to do something for yourself. You can visit Embassy Suite Rockford Riverfront’s full-service spa, right in our atrium which features a beautiful view of the Rock River, or relax in our indoor hot tub. These small acts of self-care will reduce the stress of traveling.
5. Take a Walk
Stay active by skipping the car! Embassy Suites Rockford Riverfront is just a few blocks away from many Downtown Rockford attractions, making it easy to walk to your restaurant or event. If you need to drive, you can still get your steps in by taking a walk along the Rock River. Walking can reduce muscle pain and improve your immune function.
6. Sleep
In the midst of a busy trip, sleeping well is perhaps the best thing you can do for your physical and mental health. A full night’s rest will give you the energy and alertness you need for another day of meetings, car rides, or whatever you have planned. At Embassy Suites Rockford Riverfront, guests can enjoy a two-room suite perfectly equipped for comfort and convenience.
