Prepare a bag full of smart and oil free snacks. Yogurt, dark chocolate, nuts and seeds, hard-boiled eggs, energy bars, digestive biscuits for a healthy and fit traveling. Keep the oily and high masala preparations out of your territory.
2. Water over a fizzy drink

Drinking and all is cool but keep them out of packing on a road trip. Keep water bottles as much as possible as it not only keeps you hydrated but maintains your body temperature too. It’s better to keep the water handy as certainly, you wouldn’t like the idea of running out of supply in the middle of traveling.
3. Opt for a comfortable outfit
