My carry-on was safely stowed in the overhead, and I was settled into my car seat for the five-hour flight from San Francisco to Chicago. Just then, the worst-case scenario unfolded. My companion sitting in the window began sneezing and blowing her nose. "Uh oh, trouble on the immune front!" I thought. I quickly did a mental check to see what measures I needed to take to protect myself.
Traveling during the winter months always brings the risk of infection from colds and flu. The trip can be very short- like going to the grocery store. Or, as in my case, it can be to another location and time zone. Obviously, the stress of traveling anytime of the year brings additional risk of illness from change of diet, hanging out in a hotel and working in a different environment. Consequently, I prepare ahead of time by adhering to my "traveling regime". It begins with my daily wellness supplementation practice.
