My 3 Morning Health Essentials

When I’m on the road it’s definitely harder to keep up this routine, but with a few edits it is doable.

Ask for hot water and lemon with my breakfast or even order it up from room service to drink while I get ready.
Have a special pouch for supplements that you keep in your carry on at all times so they’re always on hand. It’s a lot harder to take your supplements in the morning if you don’t even bring them.
Traveling with liquids can be tricky which is why I bring these Vital Proteins powder packs with me on the road.

I’ve been drinking hot water and lemon in the morning for years because of all of the amazing health benefits. Recently I added turmeric, cayenne pepper, honey, and apple cider vinegar (when I can stomach it haha) to the mix for a little extra oomph. My favorite benefits include:

helps maintain body ph
promotes digestion and increases metabolic rate
boosts immunity
keeps skin clear
detoxifying for the body especially your liver
increases the amount of citrate in urine which helps prevent kidney stones (something I definitely want to avoid)

I’ve always believed in taking a good probiotic everyday. But lately as I’ve learned about the importance of gut health it has become even more important to me. I’ve been testing out this one from Dr Ohhira’s probiotics and so far so good. I can’t give my absolute seal of approval until I take it a bit longer so stay tuned. Their main selling point was that they don’t have to be refrigerated which is very convenient for traveling.

Viviscal is a staple in my routine because I have very fine thin hair that is difficult to grow. Consistency is key when taking hair supplements, so I try to be diligent even when I travel.

I’ve talked a lot about the benefits of taking collagen on the blog before here. I want to eventually do a round up of all the different brands I’ve been trying so stay tuned. So far I really like the Yana by Image – its definitely the best tasting on its own!
