But all the preparation in the world means nothing if you haven’t prepared the most important thing of all: YOU!
Wellness experts Dr. Anita Haque knows all too well what happens when people forget about preparing their bodies for vacation. We’ve seen it dozens of times – people heading out of town unprepared for unusual physical conditions or situations, and then getting sick or having a terrible time on their dream vacation or needing a vacation from their vacation when they get home.
Most people’s vacations look quite different from their regular daily lives, so if you have an office job and you’re going to be doing a lot of walking on vacation, Haque will teach you to build your muscles and stamina. If you live at sea level but you’re vacationing at altitude, they increase your lung capacity in advance. And if you’re traveling by plane for many hours, or your trip involves sightseeing from a coach or a train, Dr. Anita Haque can give you tips on how to avoid ailments associated with sitting for extended periods of time, and the list goes on.
