• The first thing to say is that taking a holiday is, in itself, healthy. There can be a pressure to work work work, but it\\u2019s impossible to stay productive and inspired without taking some regular time out.

• Holidays are often a time where you can let loose and enjoy yourself, but what if you could come home feeling well and rested?\\xa0

• These days there are so many more options for a healthy holiday. You can find yoga and meditation breaks, surfing trips, walking expeditions, and art and dance holidays. Or you could create your own bespoke trip.

• Flying is pretty unhealthy on many levels. I tend to take a high dose of vitamin c before and after a flight to boost my immune system. Try not to eat too much on the flight, especially as the meals are microwaved and processed - or you could bring your own food for the flight or fast until you get to your destination.

• Sleep on the flight, using earplugs and an eye mask or beanie placed over the eyes.

• Sleep -\\xa0 If you\\u2019re travelling across many time zones, you might need to get over jet lag. It helps to set your watch to local time whilst you\\u2019re on the plane so that you can acclimatise quickly and avoid sleeping at random times. If getting enough sleep is a challenge\\xa0 in your busy life, then it\\u2019s definitely time to catch up when you\\u2019re on holiday.\\xa0

• Simplify everything. Eating fresh, local, simply prepared meals. It\\u2019s great to have a break from wearing makeup.\\xa0

• Be safe in the sun.\\xa0

• Nature is the best healer, so swimming in the sea, walking in nature and immersing yourself in the natural scenery are all wonderful
