The Ultimate Summer Travel Guide: How to Have The Best Holiday with CalmCo

Summer is here, and so are new adventures. Whether you're planning a beachside escape, a cross-country road trip, or a flight to a far-off destination, the season of travel brings excitement as well as some necessary preparation. 

At CalmCo, we believe travel should be joyful, not stressful. So we’ve rounded up our best tips to help you feel your best while you're on the move. From digestion to sleep and everything in between, here's how to make this your smoothest summer holiday yet.

1. Prep Your Body Before You Travel

A well-prepped body travels better. In the days before your trip:

• Hydrate consistently – Flying and heat can dehydrate you fast.
• Eat lighter meals to reduce bloating and sluggish digestion.
• Get enough sleep to build energy reserves and reduce the impact of time zone shifts.

Travel Tip 101: Avoid last-minute meals that are high in salt or hard to digest. Opt for simple, whole foods the night before a flight.

2. Pack a Mini Wellness Kit

Besides your passport and sunscreen, don’t forget a few wellness essentials that make travel smoother:

• Electrolyte sachets and a refillable water bottle
• Painkillers and a few bandaids
• CalmCo GastroCalm Liquid Supplement for unexpected tummy issues. GastroCalm is formulated with activated charcoal, this sugar-free, liquid supplement may relieve gas, bloating, and upset stomachs — especially helpful after airplane meals or new foods abroad. Gentle, fast-acting, and allergen-free, it's a summer travel must-have.

3. Be Gentle With Your Digestion

It’s tempting to indulge, even with GastroCalm — and you should! — but sudden changes in diet, irregular eating schedules, or unfamiliar ingredients can throw your gut off balance.

Travel-friendly digestion tips:

• Don’t skip meals; instead, keep snacks like fruit, crackers, or nuts on hand.
• Eat slowly and listen to your body's cues.
• Carry GastroCalm on you to ease discomfort naturally if symptoms arise.

4. Prioritize Rest—Yes, Even on Vacation

Sleep is often overlooked when you’re on the go, but it’s the foundation of how you feel. From jet lag to hotel noise, summer travel can throw your body clock off.

Sleep smarter while traveling:

• Try to stay in your home time zone if your trip is short (under 3 days).
• Create a wind-down ritual even on the road—think herbal tea, a short meditation, or relaxing music.
• For occasional sleeplessness, pack CalmCo Sleep Aid Gummy Bites. CalmCo Sleep Aid is a non-habit-forming gummy that contains 25 mg of diphenhydramine HCl (the same active ingredient recommended by doctors for sleep support). They're easy to take, fast-acting, and help you fall asleep naturally — ideal for hotel stays, red-eye flights, or adjusting to new time zones.

5. Stay Calm, Stay Flexible

Unexpected delays, weather hiccups, and long lines are part of travel. Keep calm with these mindset hacks:

• Accept what you can’t control and focus on what you can: your hydration, your breath, your mindset.
• Keep podcasts, calming music, or a good book at the ready.
• Move your body often — walk around airports, stretch at rest stops, and remember to move after being sat for hours. 

This summer, plan your adventures with wellness in mind. With just a few smart additions — like healthy habits and clean, effective products from CalmCo — you can travel with ease and return feeling refreshed, not worn out.
