What to eat and do during holidays?

Just came back from holiday. Had a relaxing trip, ate some good foods, get some tan under the sun, did some shopping and had an awesome massage session. While on holiday, most people tend to eat, drink and did things which are 'harmful' to their health and body. For instance, excessive alcohol consumption, overdose of sugary foods and drinks, fast foods, junk foods, late night sleep, being a 2nd hand smoker while clubbing, ingestion of fluoride by using typical hotel toothpaste, etc. 

Today, I just thought of writing a quick post about some stuff which you could consume and also avoid while on holidays. Well, of course we can't be too strict on ourselves while on vacation, (don't be stressed out but have awareness), and if we could filter and moderately control some of the harmful foods, drinks and substances we ingest, that would be really good while we can still enjoy our holiday trip. Well, that's my point of view, but other people might think otherwise and disagree with me. 

Anyhow, I hereby provide you some of the DO's and DON'Ts while on vacation. Make your own judgement and decide wisely, enjoy your holidays. 

DO'S

1) Eat as much organic whole foods as possible. (Please see below pic)
2) Incorporate fermented foods in your 'holiday' diet. (Please see below pic)
3) Drink as much clean water as possible, too much of exploring and walking under the sun will dehydrate your body, reduces your body ability to detoxify and increase constipation. Look out for artesian water such as Volvic or EVIAN. 
4) Sleep with 'pitchblack' room. After whole day of touring and exploring, your body needs a good rest and sleep. Interrupted sleep or sleeping in brightly decorated room will reduce/prevent quality sleep. Even a small lamp or toilet light can increase your body's cortisol production, and suppresses your melatonin hormones. 
5) Do some simple stretching and 'work in' type of 
6) Floss your teeth after every meal of before you go to bed! Also, bring your own toothpaste that does not contain fluoride and other harmful chemicals of course.


DONT's

1) Avoid being 'overdosed' 2nd hand smoker. Nightly clubbing packed with heavy smokers in pubs and discos generally intoxicate your body with loads of cancerous substances. Free radicals damage!
2) Eating too much of refined flour, sugar and trans fat.
3) Using hotel provided toothpaste loaded with neurotoxin fluoride and other harmful chemicals such as SLS and even saccharin!
4) Drink tap water!
5) Don't soaked too long in the swimming pool. Chlorinated water! 
6) Drink too much of alcohol. Minimal consumption of wines during the trip is 'acceptable'. Well...




Fermented tapioca


 Instead of cereals and breads, why not organic free range eggs for breakfast? 


Toxic toothpaste! Typical hotel toothpaste loaded with fluoride, SLS, sorbitol and saccharin.
