Preventative Measures to Avoid Travel Sickness

(ARA) - It's the time of year when families and students think about spring break, and anyone in a cold climate wonders where to get warm and chase away the winter blues. Whether spring break or the annual family vacation, you don't want to get sick on your way there or during your stay. There's nothing worse than being stuck sick in a hotel room without the comforts of your own home, not to mention wasting your precious vacation time.

You can take a few preventative measures now to ensure your trip is lively and fun. Washing hands often and getting plenty of rest are always important to staying healthy. But when you're traveling, there are different circumstances that are new to your body and your immune system.

For example, in the confines of an airplane, where the air you're breathing is circulated along with the air of 200 other people. Or, if traveling to a foreign country, where the water and food are new to your digestive system there are bacteria and viruses everywhere waiting to attack. If you're tired or run down it's just the time your immune system will fall to the foreign bodies in the new environment.

You can fight back. Arm yourself with supplements to boost your immune system. Bioactive Nutrients, a Spooner, Wisc. company in the business of helping people live healthier lifestyles, has a number of products that can help you stay healthy during your travels.

In addition to daily supplementation of a good multivitamin and multi-mineral, two weeks before your trip, enhance your diet by increasing vitamin and mineral intake and other supplements to your daily routine.

Bioactive's Probiotic-CSP Blend is formulated with an antioxidant-rich ingredient and includes seven strains of probiotic organisms from which the health benefits are numerous and include improved digestion and immune function.

Acidophilus Probiotic Blend with FOS also helps keep digestive systems healthy. These very important microbes are put back into our bodies, and are necessary for good absorption of nutrients in food. And with regular use, it will help stave off stomachaches and diarrhea caused by consuming contaminated food or water.

Berry Boost also improves immune function. With a strong antioxidant blend of seven natural fruit and herb seed flours, it creates a super antioxidant to neutralize free radicals, which helps lessen damage to cells due to environmental pollutants.

An important part of your pre-travel immune boost is an increase in a diet supplement that provides essential vitamins and minerals that you can't get from food alone. BioPLUS daily supplement has added vitamin D, a critical hormone regulating cell growth, the immune system, blood pressure and bone health, and chromium picolinate balancing fluctuating blood sugar levels. Grape seed extract is added for its powerful antioxidant properties to counteract the free radicals that inundate our bodies every day.

Your body depends on beneficial bacteria to manufacture B vitamins and to produce lactase and other antibacterial substances. Food processing destroys these beneficial organisms, which are becoming harder to find in food, even yogurt.

Ensure your health and your vacation this year with supplements that supply you with good bacteria for digestive support, immune system support and overall wellness. Visit www.BioactiveNutrients.com or call (800) 879-6504 for more information.
