How To Stay Alkaline While Travelling
How to Stay Alkaline While Travelling
Travelling is one of the easiest times to fall off track with your health.
Different bed. Different time zone. No juicer. No blender. Limited food options. For many people, staying alkaline while travelling can feel difficult or unrealistic.
In this video, Ross Bridgeford explains how to stay alkaline while travelling without aiming for perfection, and without needing to “start over” when you get home.

0:00 Go Easy On Yourself
Typically with travel, my suggestion is: go easy on yourself. Give yourself some grace. Be kind to yourself.
This is an inconvenient time. You are away from your juicer, your blender, your steamer, your cooker. You are away from your normal exercise and sleep routine.
You might be sleeping in a different bed. You might be in a different time zone. Chill.
0:45 Stick To The Four Core Actions
Stick to the Four Core Actions. If you can do that, and include some movement, even if it is just a walk each morning, it will serve you well.
Aim to keep hydration, greens, healthy fats, and anti-inflammatories ticking along. Do what you can, within reality.
2:00 Travel Supplement Strategy
I also recommend travelling with an alkaline mineral supplement.
A scoop in the morning and a scoop later in the day can help top up alkaline buffers and support your body through travel stress and sleep disruption, which are acidic.
You can also take a greens powder in water, which helps with both greens and hydration. You can take an omega-3 oil supplement. You can take curcumin.
In other words, you can tick the Four Core Actions through supplements and hydration when food options are limited.
3:30 Packable Alkaline Snacks
If possible, pack alkaline snacks.
For a long weekend or a week away, you can make snacks like breakfast bars or bliss balls, freeze them before you go, and they will often still be cold when you arrive.
They are fat-rich, mineral-rich, alkaline, and practical. Keep them in an airtight container, and store them in a mini fridge if you have one.
Take a couple for the plane as well.
5:00 The Morning Anchor
I often travel with chia seeds. Before I leave, I will check Google Maps for a grocery store near where I am staying.
When I arrive, I will buy coconut cream or coconut milk. If I can, I will pack a mini blender and grab coconut water and leafy greens to make a simple smoothie in the morning.
If that is not possible, worst case, you can have chia seeds in water as a morning drink. It supports digestion, hydration, and gives you something stable to start the day.
If you can also get coconut milk, you can make quick chia pots in the morning so you are less likely to crash and grab less supportive options later.
6:30 Eating Out While Travelling
When you are out at meals, sometimes choices are restricted, especially on work trips.
You can still order a side salad with every meal. You can do that.
7:30 Double Mineral Support
If you are travelling, the combination of stress, sleep disruption, and less-than-ideal food options can add up.
This is why I like the idea of “double mineral support,” morning and late afternoon, as an easy buffer.
8:10 Enjoy The Experience
Be kind to yourself. Enjoy, socialize, network, be present.
There is only so much you can control, and travel is a gift. Enjoy it.
Tick the boxes you can, and you will be good to go.
