Travel Smart: Safeguard Your Health This Holiday Season!
With holidays approaching, many of us are preparing for an overseas trip—whether it’s to visit family, explore new destinations, or simply relax. Health concerns are the last thing anyone wants on their mind while away. However, recent studies have highlighted potential hygienic issues in hotels, particularly with frequently used items like slippers and towels, which may not always be as thoroughly cleaned as we would hope. To help ensure a worry-free trip, here’s a list of five essential travel items that can help reduce health risks and allow you to enjoy peace of mind while on the go.
1. Travel Towel
While hotel towels might look clean, they could harbor bacteria and other pathogens. Rather than using hotel towels, bring along a quick-dry travel towel. Compact and lightweight, it’s more hygienic, dries faster, and helps avoid the musty smell. Whether you’re at the hotel or out exploring, your own towel means you’ll always have a clean, safe option on hand.
2. Travel Slippers
Hotel slippers may save luggage space, but they’re often worn by numerous guests before you. For added peace of mind, consider bringing your own travel slippers—look for lightweight, foldable options that pack easily.
3. Pillowcase
After age 35, bones start breaking down faster than the body can rebuild them, leading to gradual bone loss. This becomes especially pronounced after menopause, as estrogen levels drop, disrupting the balance between bone breakdown and regeneration, and increasing the risk of fractures. Regular bone density tests can help monitor bone loss. If your results show low bone density, incorporating calcium- and vitamin D-rich foods into your diet can support good bone health.
4. Collapsible Water Cup
Staying hydrated while traveling is critical, and although many hotels provide bottled water, it’s not always a guarantee. A collapsible water cup is not only convenient but eco-friendly, reducing plastic waste and ensuring you have a clean cup for drinking and brushing teeth.
5. Cotton Travel Sleeping Bag
For those looking for an extra measure of hygiene at hotels, a cotton travel sleeping bag can be a smart choice. It keeps you comfortably separated from bedding that may not be thoroughly clean. Lightweight and portable, it’s perfect for a restful night’s sleep and doubles as a blanket on long flights or bus rides.
