Join us for the ultimate Italian cooking holiday November 1st - 6th 2022 in Puglia, Italy!

We'd all like to go on vacation this summer, but what should we know before we head on that road trip or plane during this almost post-pandemic time?

True well-being isn’t hard to find. You just have to know where to look.

Being prepared for summer trips will make adventures easier on your entire family.

Take care of your traveling tootsies!

The busy holiday travel season is upon us, bringing millions of Americans to the roads and skies, along with delays, flat tires and other travel snags.

Indeed, traveling can be stressful -- and particularly so for children with a complex medical condition like epilepsy. 

But, the good news is that taking a few precautions beforehand can help smooth the process for these young jet-setters.

Here are five must do’s when traveling with a child who has epilepsy.

Being prepared for summer trips will make adventures easier on your entire family.

Fourth of July weekend in front of us means it’s officially high summer and most people are gearing up for their vacations. 

For many, that will include air travel, and possibly a long haul flight. 

You know the drill: they give you some pretzels, the drink cart makes a couple of rounds, they bring you your sad little tray of airplane food and then before you know it, it’s wheels down. 

Your flight attendant hands you a moist towlette and you hope it’ll revive your dried skin and make you look a little less haggard but it does neither, and you chastise yourself for not downing more little cups of water. 

But, drinking water on a plane is a double-edged sword. If you don’t, your entire epidermis dries up; if you do, your lower body retains the liquid. 

So, what’s a non-ankle-swell-enthusiast to do?

Dr. Christopher Calapai DO, an anti-aging and stem cell expert and long-time health advisor to the New York Rangers hockey team, tells us how to fight post-flight dehydration with foods.

Trying to stay fit and healthy can be challenging when traveling. I always tell my clients that the goal should be to maintain, not gain while away. 

And, while I am an advocate for living life and enjoying all that it has to offer, going on vacation shouldn’t become a free-for-all to throw in the towel when it comes to health and fitness.

A common question I receive from many prospective clients is “I am going on vacation soon. Should I wait to start my plan or start right away?” 

My answer is always this: There is never a “good” or “easy” time to start. You have to learn to live a healthy lifestyle, which is what my plans aim to do. In other words, start the plan TODAY. That way, when it does come time for vacation, you have the tools you need to maintain, not gain.

While you won’t track every food particle that goes into your mouth on vacation, subconsciously you are much more aware of how your meals should look and be balanced if you are following a plan prior to vacation. I can’t tell you how many clients come back to have not gained an ounce. THAT IS WINNING!

It’s officially high summer and people are taking to the skies for vacation and business travel. 

You know the drill. You’re given some peanuts, the drink cart makes a couple of rounds and before you know it, it’s wheels down. 

You're regretting not drinking more water during the flight and feel your skin is tight. 

However, drinking water on a longer flight is a double-edged sword, if you don’t, your entire epidermis dries up. If you do, your lower body retains the liquid. So how can you fly without the ankle swell or the skin dehydration?

Whether you have pain occasionally or experience chronic debilitation, here are some tips to manage pain while traveling.

Get Up & Walk Around When Possible

Contrary to popular belief, sitting is actually much worse for back pain than standing. Especially if you have a pre-existing spine condition or injury, sitting for extended periods of time may create worsening back pain symptoms.

Bio-mechanical studies have demonstrated that pressures within the disc peak in the seated position and improve with standing (and even more with lying down). So, get out of your seat and move around the cabin at least once an hour as a preventative step.

Whether you're heading somewhere for business or pleasure, travel can be stressful and overwhelming.
