 June 1st can mean two things – beginning of summer travels and beginning of the hurricane season. To help you be prepared for both, I want to offer you my Z-tips for healthy foods to stock up on. They are great to take with you on the road, to the airport or to enjoy when you are at home without electricity.
Snacks to keep your hydrated When flying, many people experience dry skin and slight swelling due to the cabin pressure and low humidity. To help you with that, I suggest bringing oranges and bananas on your flight. Their high potassium content will help you keep fluid in your body regulated and the vitamins and antioxidants can boost your immune system on crowded flights. Also, these fruits have a thick peel that makes them easy to transport and eat. If you are stocking up for a hurricane, these are great to have on hand as well since there is no hand-washing needed.

Take the whole box or portion them out in Tupperware containers, and then pack in your carry-on luggage. If you are buying in bulk, try getting them at Costco to save yourself extra money.
