Water is one of the most important substances in your body, and we lose quite a bit just through breathing and other metabolic processes…and traveling increases our water loss significantly.

One of the first things you will want to do after getting through security at any airport is to purchase a water bottle, so that you’ll have it whenever you need it. Then, the challenge becomes keeping that bottle filled throughout the trip with clean, filtered water. By having the bottle on the plane, you can drink throughout the flight, not just when the flight attendants come down the aisle. And, when they do come, you can ask them to fill up your bottle (or ask for 2 cups of water with no ice and fill it yourself). Yes, you may have to visit the bathroom more often, but that is really helpful for your health for exercise and circulation reasons.

It’s a good idea to target drinking about 1 cup (8 oz or so) of water per hour of flight. You might want to consider some nutritional powder drinks that you can add to your water bottle that will add some helpful antioxidants to boost your health.

At the Hotel – Once you arrive at the hotel, it’s a great idea to get some water for your room that will last throughout your stay!
