Sometimes it seems that I travel with a pharmacy in
my luggage, especially for multiple-week trips. Being sick is no fun; it really
takes enjoyment away from a long-awaited trip if you can’t participate in
planned activities.
Travel over several time zones, eating routines that
get off-kilter, and lack of sleep on long flights or busy days can throw your
immune system out of whack and make you more susceptible to illness. It’s also harder
to stay healthy in airplanes, hotel rooms, and ride-shares where surfaces are
exposed to various people and cleanliness may be in question.
Echinacea
supports
the immune system’s ability to clear infections by promoting T-cell activity,
the cell type critical to cell-mediated immunity.
Zinc
is involved in virtually every aspect of the immune system’s function. Zinc is
a common ingredient in ant diarrheal products and can help when unfamiliar local
bacteria causes distress for your GI system.
To stay healthy on the go, Malepati also encourages
good hand hygiene—wash often and avoid touching the face, nose, or mouth. Get
plenty of sleep, especially when crossing through several time zones, and stay
well hydrated since water is fuel for the immune system. Remember that
alcoholic drinks, coffee, and sodas can act as diuretics, so try to consume
water in a one-to-one ratio with these drinks.
