Going on vacation is an exciting time. Being able to leave your stresses behind and enjoy time for yourself is wonderful. However, on vacation we tend to stress our bodies out with overwhelming activities, social media use and daily food/drink choices to keep yourself in your best health. These tips are good ways to not feel guilty about any of your choices during your vacation.

I know it’s your vacation but fried foods are the worst thing you can do. Most likely the fried food you want is something your city already has so try something unique to your vacation destination.
2. Eat half of your plate.

Eating half of your plate can keep you from overeating and/or keep you from being sick or too full to continue having fun.
3. Try to eat two meals a day and a snack.

On top of eating healthy wherever you are for spring break, try to travel as much by foot or bike as possible this keeps you energized and burning calories while enjoying yourself.

Make sure you are filling yourself with more water than caffeine. Caffeine can cause you to lose energy while enjoying activities on your vacation.
7. Skincare.

Wear sunblock when at the beach. Everyone wants a tan but the best way to get them the healthy way is little exposure with sunblock. Enjoy yourself in the sun just remind yourself to keep your skin healthy.
8. Stay off your phone.

In relation to your mental health, vacation can be a great way to distress and get back on the right track. Limiting your time on your phone will help you enjoy the moment instead of looking at it through a camera screen and keeping your stressors at bay.
9. Rest.
