Travel Smarter: 3 Easy Tips to Stay Healthy

Whether you're headed to NurseCon at Sea or planning your next well-deserved getaway, staying healthy while traveling is key— especially when you know how easily germs spread while traveling. 

Airports, flights, and cruise ships have so many people in close quarters that germs are more likely to spread.

The good news? A few smart habits can go a long way in keeping you healthy.

1. Sanitize More Than Just Your Hands 

Almost 100 times a day, we touch our noses without realizing it, making them perfect entry points for germs. Just like your hands, your nose deserves protection. Nozin® Nasal Sanitizer® antiseptic kills 99.99% of germs and is hospital-trusted, TSA-friendly and easy to use. 

Handwashing wasn’t widely recognized for infection prevention until the late 1900s. Today, nasal sanitizing is the next frontier. Just as sanitizer protects your hands, Nozin® helps protect your nose.

2. Hydrate Like It’s Your Job  

Pack a reusable, insulated water bottle to keep your water cold and fresh. It’s better for the planet and saves you from constantly buying plastic bottles. As nurses know, travel—especially in hot weather or after physical activity—can deplete essential minerals. Adding electrolytes helps replenish them fast.

3. Prioritize Rest (Seriously!) 

Travel is exciting, but it can also be exhausting. Late nights, early mornings, and nonstop activity can leave you feeling spent. Without rest, you’re more likely to feel run down and get sick.

Carve out downtime to recharge both your body and mind. Travel-friendly noise machines or melatonin can help you fall asleep faster-even when you're unfamiliar with the area.

After all, you want to return feeling refreshed, not like you need another vacation to recover.
