It is holiday time in many parts of the world. In Australia we are gearing up for winter school holidays and of course the northern hemisphere is enjoying summer breaks. Staying healthy on holiday is actually easier than you may think.

Staying healthy on holiday does not require nearly as much effort as you may have come to believe and really means applying some fairly basic principles Authentic JJ Redick Jersey , which join together relaxation and enjoyment with the pillars of DIY Health.

So here are some simple tips on staying healthy on holiday wherever you may go in the world.

1. Enjoy new and different foods whilst limiting portions. It is great to sample new foods whilst away. Many people will be "eating out" for three meals a day. This can be a recipe for weight gain but does not need to be. All you need to do be limit portion sizes. Particularly when at the buffet enjoy sampling different. Have a small serve of different foods. Enjoy quality rather than quantity.
2. Make sure you include fruits and vegetables. For many people cooking vegetables is seen as hard work. When someone else does it there is no work involved. Put vegetables the first thing on your plate at the buffet. Wherever you are there will be local fruit in season so enjoy this as well perhaps before the cake or ice-cream.
3. Take the stairs. There is much opportunity to be active when you are on holidays. Take the stairs wherever you can (OK not when lugging suitcases). Walk a few blocks rather than take a cab if staying in a city. Take a walk in nature. Apart from being good exercise it will get you out in the fresh air and sunshine, which is good for your vitamin D levels. It is easy to do this without burning. Getting into nature is also very grounding and relaxing. This can be as simple as a walk in a park.
4. Do a workout. Many hotels have gyms, which you can use for free (as part of your stay) or for a modest fee. Some will also run group classes and this can be an opportunity to try something new. Last year when we were in Bali I was able to try a different form of yoga, which was run in the hotel gym. Go for a run, bike ride or swim; whatever you like
5. Catch up on sleep. Yes it is good to be active when on holiday but it is also a tine to rest and recharge the batteries. Minimize fixed commitments so you do not have to set the alarm in the morning allowing your body to wake when it is ready. Be happy to have that nap by the pool after lunch if your body is tired. Have some relaxation time each day. Maybe have a facial or massage.
6. Drink mainly water. Yes of course you can enjoy a cocktail or tropical juice by the pool (or a schnapps in the snow) but make your main drink water. In some countries this will mean bottled water but in those countries the bottled water is always cheap by western standards. Better water than soda from a bottle.
7. Above all else have the mindset that being healthy on holiday is fun.

When you are healthy you will have more energy to do the things you want to do. Of course you will feel better and you will look better too. This is regardless of whether you are in snow gear, camping gear or swimsuit. So this holiday season apply the basic principles detailed above and have a great holiday wherever you go.


Sara spends much of her summer near the beach. She lives in a mild climate and is very athletic. She loves to swim, bike and play games outdoors. Sara knows the dangers of the sun and so she opts for tanning salons to get her 'golden glow' while being sure to apply sunscreen every day before heading out.

Joseph lives in a cooler, northern climate. The summers can be very humid, but most of the year is mild or even below freezing during the harshest winter months. The beach has never been much of a draw for him and he spends most of his time doing indoor activities or at his job. Joseph doesn't worry about sunscreen and only had one sunburn that he can remember and that was when he was a child.

Which of these examples do you most associate yourself with? Did you know that Sara and Joseph are both at risk of developing skin cancer? We have all heard the warnings about the dangers of sun exposure. We know all about the importance of wearing sunscreen and hats. But are YOU protected from skin cancer? Consider these myths and facts:

MYTH ONE: Tanning Beds are Safer than the Sun

20 minutes of exposure in a tanning bed is roughly equivalent to four hours in the sun. Although sun beds use UVA rather than UVB rays, 'The Skin Cancer Answer' states that "UV-A penetrates more deeply into the skin than UV-B, can cause skin cancer, and may suppress the immune system."

MYTH TWO: Wearing Sunscreen at the Beach is Protection

85 percent of UV rays can even make it through on cloudy days. That means you are equally at risk in the car, walking the dog or letting your children out to play at any time of year, even when you're not at the beach. Of course, you are usually less attired at the beach and so covering up is recommended even when wearing sunscreen. Sunscreen also wears off with sweat and water and should always be applied every two hours or after getting wet.

MYTH THREE: Taking Care Of Your Skin Now Will Protect You

Sadly, skin cancer can take 20 or more years to develop. The Skin Cancer Foundation states that most people receive about 80 percent of their lifetime sun exposure before the age of 18. Just one blistering sunburn in childhood is estimated to double the risk of melanoma later in life. Taking better care now will reduce the risk, but not eliminate the damage already done.

MYTH FOUR: Having a Tan Means You're More Protected

Dark skinned individuals are less likely to develop cancer, but tanned skin is actually damaged skin. Repeated tanning injures the skin and incr.
