The eagerly anticipated season has arrived! There are many enjoyable activities to partake in during this season of warmth and love, including indulging in copious amounts of decadent meals and desserts, mingling with crowds, attending several drinking parties, and spending time with loved ones. Most of us forget about our health because we are so excited about the holidays. Furthermore, if not done properly, the same activities that make the holidays enjoyable also tend to harm our health.
Who doesn’t enjoy discovering new things and places? Prepare your winter clothing and pack your woolen. A family winter vacation is always exciting. Your entire family can enjoy the novelty of the weather, explore the snow-covered landscape, and participate in enjoyable snow activities. Winter vacation spots provide exhilarating activities for the whole family, including village tours, zip lining, skiing, rafting, hiking, rock climbing, and snowboarding.
There are many winter vacation spots to discover in India, from Mussoorie and Binsar Valley in Uttarakhand to Kullu, Manali, and Shimla in Himachal Pradesh. One of the best ways to strengthen your family relationships is to book a trip to one of the Club Mahindra resorts in these winter vacation spots.
While taking a family vacation to a place with snow is enjoyable, it necessitates a different kind of planning. Winter is an unforgiving season, so everyone needs to be ready to take advantage of the brisk air. Here are suggestions to keep you organized so you can enjoy your winter vacation.
Consume Less Food:
Food and holidays go hand in hand. However, eating too much can cause digestion issues, some of which include indigestion and gastroesophageal reflux. By moderating your food intake in consideration of your health, you can easily avoid these issues. You can also choose healthier foods this holiday season rather than overindulging in junk food like sauces, desserts, and appetizers. Additionally, consume a lot of water to aid in digestion.
The proper attire
What kind of clothing to carry should be the top item on your list. You must always carry layers with you. A set of thermal undergarments, the second layer of t-shirts, tops, and pants, and a third layer made up of one or two jackets should all be included.
Every lotion
Lots of dry skin in the winter! Make sure to bring your preferred moisturizer. Sunscreen is also crucial, particularly for kids. Even in cold weather, the sun can be quite harsh and getting a sunburn while on vacation is the absolute last thing you want.
Stay active:
Engage in enjoyable activities with your family this winter break to stay active. Even though you lack the necessary tools, this is no justification for skipping a workout. Push-ups and sit-ups, two straightforward exercises, can transform your body. You might be tempted to use your efforts to exercise as justification for overindulging while on vacation. Eat wisely and avoid trying this as it will negate your hard work.
A big NO to drinking too much!
Most of the time, we overindulge in alcohol because we’re having fun. However, it is important to remember that excessive alcohol consumption, even on occasion, can harm your health. Do you recall the last time you had a hangover while traveling? This time, drink sensibly to avoid getting wasted! For health reasons, be sure to adhere to the recommended alcohol intake.
Safe footwear
Leaving the house in the snow while on vacation? While flip-flops may be appropriate for the beach, cold weather calls for boots, closed-toe shoes, or protective footwear. You might think about renting specialized footwear from the resort if you need it for walking in the snow.
Protective equipment
For every member of your family, hats, scarves, polarised sunglasses, and gloves are a requirement. A scarf can add additional warmth, and gloves can prevent accidental frostbite. To protect your head and ears, you should wear hats and caps, especially if your jacket lacks a hood.
A first-aid kit
While on a family vacation, a medicine kit is always a must, but it is especially crucial during the winter. This is because the cold weather makes everyone more prone to getting a cold or a fever. Your medicine kit should include items like Band-Aids, antiseptic creams, and medication for common illnesses that can be used anywhere, at any time.
Batteries and chargers
Phone chargers are a constant in our lives, just like smartphones. Carry your portable chargers with you to keep them charged at all times. You don’t want to be stranded without a phone if you’re going outside in the cold.
Choose complex carbohydrates over simple ones:
Simple carbohydrates can raise your insulin levels and cause you to gain weight. So during the holidays, look for complex carbohydrates, also known as good or complex carbs. These are a fantastic source of fiber, which is necessary for sustaining normal blood sugar and cholesterol levels as well as supporting regular bowel movements. Whole-grain kinds of pasta and pieces of bread, brown rice, fruits, vegetables, and legumes are examples of complex carbohydrates you can include.
So, to sum up
Consider planning a vacation to a winter destination if you want to have a good time and go on an adventure with your family. Make sure you pack appropriately and wisely for every member of the family. Spend a relaxing family vacation and create lifelong memories in a winter destination.
