Whether you are on a quick jaunt to attend a last-minute meeting or are involved in more extensive business <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gtitravel.com\/event-travel-company-management-business-corporate-services-planners\">event travel<\/a>, it is essential to pack items that will help you maintain your health on the road. This handy list of must-bring things can help you stay healthy and prepared for anything.<\/p>\n<p><strong> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-2299\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gtitravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Healthy-travel-essentials.jpg\" alt=\"Essential items for Healthy travel\" width=\"393\" height=\"373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gtitravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Healthy-travel-essentials.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gtitravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Healthy-travel-essentials-400x380.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.gtitravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Healthy-travel-essentials-300x285.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 393px) 100vw, 393px\" \/>Hand Sanitizer<\/strong>&#8211;One of the best ways to avoid getting sick is to keep a small bottle of hand sanitizer with you at all times. That way, if you can\u2019t wash your hands you can still keep them clean.<\/p>\n<p><strong>First Aid Kit<\/strong>&#8211;When it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gtitravel.com\/business-travel-management-company\/\">business travel planning<\/a>, you can never be too prepared. Accidents happen, so make sure your first aid kit includes Band Aids, antiseptic wipes, antibiotic ointment, gauze, tweezers and a small pair of scissors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Medications<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Prescription Medications<\/strong>&#8211;Don\u2019t forget to bring any prescription medications you are taking. Skipping vital medicines such as heart or blood pressure medications can be dangerous.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Antihistamines&#8211;<\/strong>Combat hay fever and other allergic reactions with antihistamines. Benadryl can make you drowsy, so if you\u2019re driving or hitting a meeting, opt for a non-drowsy antihistamine like Claritin. Benadryl can also double as a sleep aid if you struggle with insomnia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pain Relievers<\/strong>&#8211;Over-the-counter pain relievers such as Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen can help ease aches and pains so you can focus on the tasks at hand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gastrointestinal Relief<\/strong>&#8211;Many people suffer from tummy troubles when they travel. Medicines such as Pepto-Bismol, Pepcid and Immodium can help keep upset to a minimum.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Motion Sickness<\/strong>&#8211;Traveling on crowded planes, trains and buses can make some people feel ill. If you have a history of motion sickness, carry medicine such as Dramamine with you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Immune Boosters<\/strong>&#8211;There are lots of invisible critters swirling in the air, especially in enclosed spaces like airplanes. Supplements such as Airborne or Emergen-C contain vitamins and other ingredients that may help to stave off colds, flu and other illnesses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunscreen <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Prolonged exposure to the sun without protection can lead to long-term health issues like skin cancer and premature aging. Always bring a high SPF sunscreen with you when you travel. You never know when you will spend time outside, and bad sunburn isn\u2019t pleasant to deal with.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Portable Gym<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Although most hotels have 24-hour gyms these days, if you prefer working out alone, there are kits you can buy that contain a jump rope, resistance bands, pedometers and other light, easy-to-carry fitness gear. Running shoes, workout clothes and a bathing suit are also indispensable to stay fit and relieve stress while you\u2019re on the road.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Healthy Snacks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You may be running from one place to another while traveling for business, but don\u2019t forget to eat. Pack non-perishable healthy snacks like nuts, jerky, trail mix and dried fruit to keep your blood sugar level steady.<\/p>\n<p>Looking for more valuable business travel planning tips? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gtitravel.com\/small-business-travel-agency-management\/\">Small business travel solutions<\/a>?
