Whether you go to visit someone or to some tourist destination, vacation is the best time of the year. However, you may feel overwhelmed as you do not want to mess up your health routine on vacation.

Good sleep is important for your health. No matter how many places you want to see, try to get at least 8 hours of sleep daily. Set a time for daily sleep during the vacation and follow it. Sleeping well will make you active and in a good mood throughout the next day.

4. Keep Moving

Try to stay active during your vacation. Go for a morning walk or jog daily. You can also exercise indoors. In your hotel room, you can do some Zumba exercises, stretches or even bring some small gym equipment with you. Do not even go for a day without moving a little.


5. Stay Hydrated
