(HealthNewsDigest.com) – Thanksgiving season is almost here. It’s time to gather up the gang and travel across the country for food, fun and football. However, traveling can interrupt your daily diet and exercise regimen, and be anything but relaxing…even causing digestive discomfort. According to Dr. Jenny A. Van Amburgh, consultant to the makers of MiraLAX, there are some easy tricks in the traveling toolbox to help keep digestive distress at bay:

· Hydrate. Dehydration can quickly throw your system out of sorts, so be sure to drink sufficient fluids when on the road.

· Get Moving. Even if you are pressed for time or on a plane, car or train sitting for long spells, try to find a way to incorporate exercise into your situation. Jumpstart your metabolism with a brisk walk before starting your day.

· Travel Diet. Your body needs help on the road when your routine is changed. From mayo-laden in-flight sandwiches to greasy fast food on the road, traveling can be the most difficult time to get a nutritious meal. Pick up a selection of healthy, high-fiber snacks such as granola bars before beginning your travels.

· Be Prepared. If you wake up on Friday and find your overindulgence in heavy foods caught up to you, salvage your trip with a remedy to help the natural process. Dr. Van Amburgh urges her patients to educate themselves on OTC treatment options. She recommends MiraLAX laxative, which works effectively without harsh side effects. It naturally balances the water in your digestive system and is available in convenient single-dose packets that are easy to toss into a carry-on. www.miralax.com
