In 2020, taking car trips to your vacation destinations has become more and more popular as people have looked to avoid traveling in airplanes, trains, and other methods of public transportation.
Car rides generally are a pretty long, boring, and often uncomfortable experience. These tips, however, can make them a little more comfortable for your body.
Take Pillows
Pillows are an essential for riding in a car. Why? If you get sleepy, you can use them to rest your head on and take a nap. They are also extremely useful as a support for your lower back, which can begin to bother you if you spend a long time seated in one place.
Stretch as Much as You Can
Whenever you’re riding in a car, it’s likely you will spend hours upon hours in the same seated position. To keep your blood flowing, your muscles loose, and your body comfortable, it’s important to make stops to stretch and even stretch in the car if possible.
Eat Healthy and Drink Water
It’s tempting to only eat fast food and drink sodas while on a car ride. After all, you’ll probably be stopping at plenty of convenience stores and eating fast food while on your journey. However, your body will feel better if you drink lots of water and avoid salty, high-carb, high-fat foods.
