While most will turn to adding Vitamin C once they\u2019ve gotten sick, it\u2019s actually better as a preventative nature medicine to add and consume in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tip: cut up and put in a baggie before leaving your home or departure.

A red bell pepper has about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.com\/nutrition\/12-foods-with-more-vitamin-c-than-oranges\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">three times the amount of Vitamin C<\/a> found in a Florida orange. In addition, red bell peppers are high in beta carotene, which converts to Vitamin A in the body for healthier skin and eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tip: Wash and slice up in advance to tote with you on the plane. If you can\u2019t source a red bell pepper, your next best bet is a yellow or orange pepper.

One antioxidant it excels in is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which has been proven in studies to boost immune strength. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ginger can help decrease inflammation and be a healer for nausea. The same goes for peppermint, easy the tummy and calming the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tip: the easiest way to consume all of these when traveling is via teas, in my humble opinion. Pack a few and ask in the lounge, or the attendant on the plane, for some hot water. Just add your tea bag, and you\u2019re golden (like a ginger root).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-yogurt-or-probiotics\">4. Yogurt (or Probiotics)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What we\u2019re after here are the probiotics that are in the yogurt to line and heal the gut lining. Choose your yogurts with care, steering clear of any that have added fruits, sugars, and lack the probiotic benefits (that\u2019s the whole purpose here).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t eat dairy; hence, I threw in the alternative to add probiotics. These can be great to carry with you throughout your travels in pill form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tip: if you choose the yogurt path, you\u2019ll need to buy this after TSA or grab one from a lounge or convenience store in the airport that has a plain, sugar-free option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-nuts-and-seeds\">5.

Almonds have a high level of Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant to help maintain a healthy immune system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to Vitamin E, sunflower seeds also have magnesium, Vitamin B and selenium. Selenium is a sneaky powerhouse for maintaining a solid defense against viral diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tip: Unsalted and raw (or, better yet, sprouted) are best with the most significant amount of health benefits and antioxidants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-superfoods-goji-berries-and-spirulina\">6. Superfoods (Goji Berries and Spirulina)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Loaded with Vitamin C, goji berries are one of my favorite sweet little treats to toss in, like little popcorns. Of course, when traveling, we\u2019re not using our hands to eat such foods, right? Thought so. Instead, grab a spoon to eat 2-3 scoops during your travels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spirulina is a blue-green algae that is an endurance booster and all-in-one source of nutrients. In addition, it hosts anti-inflammatory benefits and an immune-enhancing protein with some pretty vegan-friendly powerful benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tip: get the tablets of spirulina instead of the powder for travel, taking 3-5 of them beforehand. It\u2019s a lot less messy than consuming and packing the powder form.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-tropical-fruits-papaya-kiwi-and-pineapple\">7.
