I travel a lot. Each month, I pack up my suitcase to hit the road, whether it could be by plane, train, or automobile. I always find myself with the same problem—how to stay healthy while traveling? ____121____
Move around.
Though only about 1 in 4, 500 airplane passengers develop a blood clot(血块), you should still make efforts to move around on the plane, just standing in the aisle or by taking a walk to the toilet. Have a layover(中途停留)? Instead of sitting, make sure to walk around the airport. Taking a road trip? Make plenty of stops to move around. ____122____ Whether it is working out at your hotel, taking hikes, or giving up public transport to walk, you’ll feel much better if you get in some activity.
Prepare snacks smartly.
____123____ Though these seem like a convenient choice, they’re not the healthiest. I like to pack snacks that are within my calorie budget for the day and 100 calories or under each. When traveling and buying food, I try to choose fresh fruit and vegetables. Is fast food the only choice if you’re very hungry? Stick to something simple and whatever you do, don’t supersize.
____124____
Because of low humidity on planes, many of us can find ourselves feeling thirstier than ever. Drink more water. Make sure when traveling on day trips to carry water with you at all times. ____125____As a result, you will eat more healthily throughout the day.
A.Eat, eat, eat.
B.Drink, drink, drink.
C.Here are some practical tips.
D.Once you get to your location, don’t forget to do exercise.
E.Water will also help you to be able to stay full between meals.
F.While at the airport or on road trips, you’ll pass countless fast restaurants.
