Traveling should make you feel alive — not drained. Yet many travelers unknowingly rely on processed foods, from airport snacks to hotel buffets, and feel the effects: fatigue, bloating, or low energy.
Recently, our partners at SolFlowers shared an eye-opening article on the impact of processed foods. Inspired by their insights, we’ve reimagined these wellness tips through a travel lens, so you can make smarter choices while exploring the world.
Processed foods often contain added sugars, preservatives, and refined carbs that are quick fixes but leave you sluggish. Pair that with jet lag, busy schedules, and time-zone changes, and you’ve got a recipe for feeling off during your trip.
Don’t depend on overpriced airport snacks. Carry fresh fruit, nuts, or simple sandwiches in your bag. These whole food options provide stable energy for flights, layovers, or long drives.
Buffet tables look appealing, but they often hide sugars in pastries, sauces, and drinks. Choose naturally sweet options like fruit, yogurt, or unsweetened teas to keep your energy steady.
Sugary sodas and cocktails can dehydrate you faster in airplane air. A refillable water bottle is your best travel companion. Hydration is key to reducing jet lag and supporting digestion.
Skip packaged snacks and indulge in authentic local cuisine. Freshly prepared regional dishes not only taste better but also connect you to the culture you came to explore.
Eating well on the road isn’t about restriction. It’s about making choices that help you feel energized, focused, and open to new experiences. At Amour Getaways, our curated retreats and itineraries highlight nourishing meals, cultural dining, and wellness activities that align with your travel goals.
Processed foods might be convenient, but travelers deserve more than convenience — they deserve vitality. By packing whole foods, staying hydrated, and seeking fresh local meals, you’ll elevate your travel experience.

We had an excellent family trip organized by Amour Getaways. We had a specific budget we needed to stay within and had two cities we planned to visit. We provided the parameters, and Amour set up our itinerary, booked our hotels, and bought tickets for our excursions. It really made it easy for us! I printed out all the details, agenda, and tickets and had my 13-year-old daughter be our tour organizer. She really felt special as she guided us throughout our trip. I really want to offer a special thanks for Amour Getaways for enabling us to go on a much-needed family vacation. i highly recommend their business and we will be leveraging them again in the future.
