Vacations don’t have to be all about junk food and rest. An active vacation can promote fitness and healthier eating for the whole family.

The American Council on Exercise suggests:

• Maintain your healthy lifestyle rules, but be flexible. Watch portion sizes, but truly enjoy the food. Exercise to offset additional calories.
• Pack healthier snacks if you’re planning on a long plane or car ride.
• Drink plenty of fluids.
• Wash hands frequently.
• Plan activities such as hiking, scuba diving or snorkeling, skiing, surfing or a walking tour.
