Stay hydrated. It is so
easy to overlook the importance of this advice because of how often
we hear it, and because of how many ailments it is prescribed for.
However, this really is of utmost importance. Long road trips already
have the ability to lull you into a bit of a daze if you happen to
come under the spell of road hypnosis, so you don't need to compound
that with the drowsiness that ensues as a result of dehydration. The
best way to stay alert is to stay hydrated. Be sure to have plenty of
water in your vehicle (both in the cabin and in the trunk) to meet
this need. Some avoid proper hydration because of the worry of the
discomfort they may feel when they have to void, so plan your stops
ahead of time. Figure out where the bathrooms are along your route so
that this doesn't interfere with your ability to stay hydrated.
Stay nourished. As much
as we love Tim Horton's, we also recognize that the coffee-dependent
culture that we operate in makes it easy for us to forgo the long,
stable flow energy we get from proper nutrition in favour of a
caffeine jolt. That might do for a quick ten minute zip to your
workplace, but for a longer trip, you'll crash on that alone.
(Moreover, caffeine is a diuretic which will work against your goal
of staying hydrated). Pack snacks that are high both in nutrients,
and in fibre. Cut fruit, and bran muffins are great options. These
will release sugars into your bloodstream more slowly, giving you a
stable store of energy, which in turn will prevent you from crashing.
Fight nausea. One of the
most common ailments associated with long car rides is motion
sickness. If you are not driving, gravol is an easy remedy for this.
However, this is not a suitable course of action for drivers because
of the drowsiness it induces. Instead, follow these tips to beat
motion sickness:
- Eat small portions more frequently
- Bring lemon water. While gingerale is the beverage that comes to mind for most when thinking of ways to soothe an upset stomach, a cleaner, sugar-free alternative is lemon water. Drinking freshly squeezed lemon juice mixed with water can go a long way to settle you.
- Eat ginger candies
- Try to include protein in your snacks and meals throughout the day, as this can combat nausea well.
- Have a store of crackers or rice cakes, as these can often fight nausea quickly.
- Have a backup driver in the vehicle with you if you know you are prone to motion sickness, and know when to hand over the keys.
