Hodophiles and the Wellness Home
“Every Home a Wellness Home” is our vision and one of the coolest things about the Wellness Home is that it can travel with you. Heather and I love to travel, we are true hodophiles. Our trips usually include work and vacation time which is a great aspect of being self-employed and having a business that can be done just about anywhere.
Heather and I are embarking on a weeklong trip to Southern California and whenever we travel, we like to take our Nikken Active Wellness products with us. It is reassuring that we will get a good night’s sleep, healthy water for hydration, nutritional support and enjoy the day to day products that we depend on for recovery and relaxation.
Included in our travel Wellness Home products are the PiMag sports bottle for healthy hydrating water.
For a good night’s rest, we rely on the Nikken Cocoon, our Kenko Naturest® Custom Pillows, Pillowcases and our Kenko PowerSleep Masks.
Recently we have included our KenkoGround earthing mats to our traveling Wellness Home. I experience a better night sleep while using it with my Nikken sleep products and it has been wonderful for helping Heather release tension. Here is a link to short video about the KenkoGround.
The Nikken KenkoGround serves as an indoor and portable way to reconnect with Mother Nature. Simply plug it into a grounded outlet and use it under your feet while working, on your mattress while you sleep or even draped around your shoulders. Direct contact with the skin is best. This can be a great product to take with you on the go, especially if you are traveling to areas where weather may prohibit grounding or to big metropolitan areas where grounding can be problematic.
Our Kenzen Vital Balance, Jade Greenzymes and Super Ciaga are vital for our daily nutritional needs and supply our daily requirements for protein, veggies and fruits. This is very important when traveling and dining out more than usual.
We also include many other Nikken products that we rely on and use daily. The Kenko MagDuo®, Kenko PowerBands®, Kenko jewelry, Kenko mStrides® insoles and of course our Kenko MagFlex®. We also include a tube of our wonderful CM Complex Cream.
This may sound like a lot of stuff to travel with, but Heather is a master at packing the suitcase. We travel in style and assured that our Wellness Home on the go supports us to Be Healthy by Choice anywhere we travel.
Self Care Travel Tips
Love it or not traveling can be extremely disruptive to the “self care” routine you have worked so hard to establish unless you follow a few simple guidelines.
“For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.” – Robert Louis Stevenson
Self Care Travel Tips
The holiday season is in full swing and with it comes the busiest travel season of the year. Love it or not traveling can be extremely disruptive to the “self care” routine you have worked so hard to establish unless you follow a few simple guidelines.
1. Keep up with your water intake. In fact, when traveling it is not a bad idea to increase the amount of water you drink. Why? Lack of humidity, especially on a plane it is very dehydrating. Have you ever noticed how dry your skin feels when get off of a plane?
Most travelers experience bowel issues when traveling for various reasons. The World Health Organization identifies dehydration as the most severe threat posed by “traveler’s diarrhea.” Hydration can help both diarrhea and “traveler’s constipation.”
We always travel with a filtered, alkaline water bottle that we can easily fill anywhere. It is convenient and less expensive than bottled water. Keep track of how much water you drink in a day. Try to drink half of your body weight in ounces a day. For example if you weigh 120 lbs. drink 60 ounces of water a day.
2. Stay comfortable. No matter how you travel “temperature regulating fabric” can help keep you either warm or cool. We always travel with comfortable socks that have ceramic reflective fibers in the material that absorb energy from a variety of sources. These fibers have a saturation point, and do not retain excess heat. Instead they release it into the surrounding environment.
3. Eat smart. It is best to use some common sense here. First thing to remember, it is the holiday season and refusing a slice of your hosts award winning pie is not going to win a popularity contest so enjoy that pie but there are ways to eat smart throughout the day. Remember portion control and if possible eat as many fresh vegetables as possible. Avoid snacking by trying to maintain your usual meal schedule and don’t skip meals. If you have a super frantic schedule be sure to pack your favorite protein shake.
We always travel with Kenzen Vital Balance (KVB). KVB is an organic based pea-protein shake naturally sweetened with monk fruit. KVB also has prebiotics and probiotics which support gastrointestinal and immune system health.
4. Sleep matters. Losing as little as one and a half hours for just one night reduces daytime alertness by about one-third. Traveling across time zones changes the principal time cue -- light -- for setting and re-setting our 24-hour, natural day-night cycle, or circadian rhythm. When you pack be sure to pack for sleep. We always pack ear plugs, a sleep mask and travel with a temperature regulating travel comforter. Remember to keep up with any established sleep routines, for example, if you listen to relaxing music while preparing for bed make sure you have that with you and a way to play it. If you are well hydrated, eat smart, stay comfortable, exercise and try to maintain a sleep schedule while traveling you can alleviate sleep deprivation and enjoy your trip a whole lot more.
