1. HYDRATE
Long hours in the sun + drinking alcohol will dehydrate you. Skip the sugary, sports drinks and drink a lot of water/try chasing or alternating alcoholic beverages with coconut water. You can add pedialite to your water too!
2. USE SUNSCREEN, WEAR SUNGLASSES &/ VISORS/HATS
Protect your skin with SPF 30 (light skinned), 50 or higher (melanin poppin’).
Don’t forget to reapply regularly.
The sun can damage your eyes too, so protect them
3. DON’T FORGET HAND SANITIZERS/WIPES
Even before Covid…Port-a-potties are gross, buying from vendors who may not sanitize is gross… Please still have your sanitizers handy to keep your hands as clean & as germ-free as possible.
4. EAT HEALTHY WHEN YOU CAN
Late nights and long days make it easy to resort to fast food/junk food
Stock up on protein-filled snacks like low-fat & low-sugar protein bars and nuts.
Make your Turkey/Tuna sandwiches, pre-cook/slow cook dinner, so it’s ready when you get home.
5. SLEEP
Prevent a breakdown on your immune system to avoid getting run down and sick
***BONUS TIP***
STRETCH !
Stretch and hydrate before the road march to avoid cramping and dead legs. You did not prep for this day to ride out Carnival in an ambulance or on the truck.
See You on the Road!

START THE DAY RIGHT
You may not be in control of lunch or dinner, but control what you eat when you wake up!
Make it rich with Protein, Fibre and Energy.
Try a giant Green Smoothie, fruit-based Protein Shake, a Spinach Omelette or hard boiled Eggs!
STOCK UP ON HEALTHY SNACKS
The Supermarkets and Pharmacies near you may be closed.
Stock up with Fruits and Veggies. Have Fruits as a snack or make a fresh Salad.
PLAN EXERCISE WITH A LOVED ONE
Go for a Power Walk or Jog.
If it’s a group of you, play a little scrimmage, go for a swim, try morning Yoga, whatever the vibe !
DRINK A LOT OF WATER. FLAVOUR IT!
Add Cucumber and Lemon slices in your glass of water for a clean, refreshing taste. Have before each meal so that feel fuller for longer.
DON’T DEPRIVE YOURSELF, BUT SET LIMITS
Have Dark Chocolate instead of white or milk. Take note and follow serving suggestions.
Have 1-2 glasses of alcohol, preferably Wine.
Peep Monster? Love yuh Bun & Cheese? Have after you’ve filled up on veggies & protein and eat slowly! Savour each bite.
