Packing healthy and nutritious snacks for the road helps travelers to avoid high-sodium and high-fat food often sold in airports. From snacks to supplements, beating jet lag and keeping a wellness routine going on the road are easier with the right diet and exercise. These products make great gifts for the frequent-traveling moms in your life.
Jet lag and long hours on the road can make people tired, but also can wreak havoc on digestion and circulation. Goldthread Tonics are a natural wellness drink that comes in a range of tonics and shots that can improve your mood, energy, circulation and digestion. Some come in TSA-approved travel bottles that are only 2oz. Others come in larger bottles including Hawaiian Ginger, ideal for promoting digestion, metabolism activation and immunity; Green Minerals to help detoxify the body; and Lavender Bliss to calm nerves after a long trip. Founder William Siff also wrote a book about health and wellness, “The Plant Medicine Protocol,” which is another gift idea for the wellness-focused mom.
As part of the many travel-friendly snacks from Quest is a new spicy cheddar cheese crackers pack that comes in small bags ideally to take on a trip. Similar to Cheese-Its, but with more of a kick, these snacks include 10 grams of protein and only 130 calories.
Eating healthy when you travel can be tough, and it is easy to put on weight when you cannot control the quality of ingredients you are eating (airport and airplane food, especially). Phyto Control uses herbal ingredients like ID-aIG seaweed extract to help the body digest carbs and fats efficiently and quickly so that they don’t linger and affect the waistline. Other herbs include cinnamon bark extract to boost metabolism, gymnema sylvestre extract to reduce food cravings, and banaba leaf extract to fight fat. One 60-pill bottle retails for $79 with discounts for larger quantities. It’s a great and lightweight item to put in a purse or briefcase and take daily when traveling or at home.

Settling yourself for a week or a weekend on a car-free island can come with unexpected benefits: the joy of getting around via bicycle, the conversations that happen while walking from one place to another, the hilarity of golfcart transportation. But while we all love a good road trip, sometimes the car is just a means to getting from point a to point b. On these islands, even the getting around is part of the fun.
