The 4 Advantages of Fasting during travel + 6 Good Fasting Tips!
Fasting while traveling can be hard to do in the beginning! Sometimes we have stress and temptation to eat every five minutes at the airport. It can take some discipline at first, but you will get used to it.
Be sure of that: It is totally possible to both travel and fast! And even more, it’s really worth it! Let me tell you why.
When you travel due to time zone shift and daylight changes your biological clock is altered.
Fasting is a great way to help your circadian rhythm to figure it out of what is going on! You will give your body time to active its repair mode after hours spent traveling.
So, the 4 Big Advantages of Fasting during Traveling are:
1. Decrease your jet lag
2. Avoid gastrointestinal issues due to the pressure in the flight, or questionable food
3. Increase your general energy
4. Stop yourself from eating out of stress
Plus, skipping a meal saves a lot of time. More time to go through security, get to your terminal, find a good book, etc…
The 6 Good Fasting Tips during Traveling :
Tip #1:
Stay well hydrated along the trip. You can bring your empty bottle through security and refill it after easily if you want to save money. You can also always ask for refill during the flight.
Also, if you are in a warm area, stay in shaded and in a well aerated area in the airport.
Tip #2:
Break your fast at the right moment. When you arrive to your destination and you want to break your fast, do it only at a meal time, this will help your body to reduce jet lag.
