\"Experts<\/a>Business travel has an impact on health \u2013 and it\u2019s not a positive one. It\u2019s difficult not to develop bad habits while traveling for work. Unfortunately, the consequences of letting things go while your away can be dire, from short-term insomnia to obesity and high blood pressure following a regime of increased smoking and alcohol consumption.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, most business travelers are aware of the toll their travels take on their health. With a little forethought and the help of their\u00a0corporate travel consultant<\/a>, they can prevent these situations accordingly, eating more healthful foods, sticking to fitness routines, sticking to daily routines, and avoiding common sources of stress. In fact, trends toward health-minded decisions on the rise compared to just a few years back. Here\u2019s how to maximize available opportunities.<\/p>\n

7 Tips for Staying Healthy During Business Travel<\/strong><\/h1>\n
    \n
  1. Plan ahead.<\/strong>
    \n    Business travel planners<\/a>\u00a0know preparation is key to a productive trip.\u00a0\u00a0Planning as much in advance as possible, from clothing and dining to daily schedule, helps minimize stressful decision-making tasks. Bringing a print out of necessary tasks or itineraries, and organizing as much in advance as possible ensures brainpower is saved for essential business trip tasks.<\/li>\n
  2. Banish buffets.<\/strong>
    \nThe endless treats at buffets can make it highly tempting to over-indulge. To avoid falling prey to baser instincts, avoid the buffet for lunch and dinner, seeking out hotels that only offer this option at breakfast.<\/li>\n
  3. Keep it cool.<\/strong>
    \nOpt for a hotel with a fridge whenever possible. This is among the best\u00a0    business travel solutions<\/a>\u00a0for facilitating healthier food choices. In a hotel fridge, healthy options are more easily stored, such as yogurt, protein shakes, and pre-cut fresh fruit and veggies. These make a more mindful alternative to fat, sugar, and sodium-heavy take-out and snacking options.<\/li>\n
  4. Save it for later.<\/strong>
    \nStart the day with a light, protein-packed breakfast and lunch, sipping water regularly. This will allow plenty of calorie leeway for a relaxing and enjoyable dinner without the guilt of a 4,000 calorie day.<\/li>\n
  5. Start and end the day right.<\/strong>
    \nThough trips to a strange location can be mentally taxing, this new environment is also a tremendous opportunity to make creative and inspired decisions and brainstorm new ideas. To that end, avoid mundane tasks like firing off emails or drudging through social media, as these mentally draining tasks can rob you of inspiration. Instead, spend free or lax time visualizing upcoming goals, reading an inspiring book, or engaging in a guided meditation.<\/li>\n
  6. Don\u2019t neglect exercise.<\/strong>
    \nTo stay on your routine and improve sleep, don\u2019t abandon your exercise regimen. Stay healthy by choosing a hotel with a decent gym or nearby fitness classes.<\/li>\n
  7. Jump on the\u00a0“bleisure\u201d<\/a>\u00a0bandwagon.<\/strong>
    \nWork a little leisure into your business trip, scheduling a day before or after the trip to soak in local offerings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Ensure health and happiness on the road. Make the most of every trip with the help of the\u00a0business travel management<\/a>\u00a0experts at GTI Travel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
