Vacations are supposed to be the ideal time to relax and not worry about incessant phone calls, hectic schedules and the other stresses of the work-week. While the holiday checklist includes the essentials like sunscreen, camera, medicines, etc. more often than not, the basic necessities are often ignored. In our holiday excitement, we tend to ignore how we treat our bodies and its need for nourishment. Keeping oneself hydrated and consuming beverages that are safe and hygienic is as important as getting that photograph clicked.
Milk
Milk is a complete health drink containing most of the nutrients essential for our well-being. Don't ignore your daily glass of milk during your holidays. Some may feel that consuming milk while travelling should be avoided as they are unsure of the quality. But with safe and hygienic options available, we can ensure that this wholesome food is not skipped. UHT (Ultra-High Temperature) treated milk that is available in cartons is 100% preservative free and ensures fresh, high quality milk.
This milk does not need to be boiled before consumption and does not need to be refrigerated till the carton is opened. This makes it perfect to carry and store during your travels. All this without compromising on quality or nutrition.
Juices
Refreshing and invigorating fruit and vegetable juices are a sure shot way to get a concentrated boost of energy. Avoid dehydration and maintain high energy levels by consuming these vitamin and mineral cocktails. But don't cut your vacation short due to illness by avoiding that glass of juice from the friendly roadside vendor. Packaged or carton juices are the most convenient, reliable and hygienic option.
