The Houstonian Club Shares Expert Hydration Tips for Holiday Travelers

The Houstonian Club is offering practical hydration guidance to help travelers stay energized and healthy throughout this holiday season.

HOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, December 16, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- With the busy holiday season underway, The Houstonian Club is reminding travelers that staying hydrated is one of the simplest ways to maintain energy, focus, and overall well-being on the road. Known as one of the nation’s leading fitness and wellness destinations, The Houstonian Club has long been a resource for members seeking evidence-based guidance on health, performance, and daily habits. This season, the club’s registered dietitian, Elena Nunley, is helping travelers understand why hydration matters more when taking to the skies.

Air travel can leave people feeling tired, dehydrated, and out of balance for reasons that are not always obvious. Cabin air has significantly lower humidity than ground level, and pressure and oxygen levels shift throughout a flight. Add the stress of navigating airports, changing time zones, and squeezing into crowded spaces, and the body has a lot to manage.

“Most people do not realize how quickly dehydration can sneak up while traveling,” says Nunley. “You are dealing with dry cabin air, long lines, and irregular routines. A little preparation goes a long way in helping you feel steady and comfortable during and after your trip.”

Nunley shares her top recommendations for staying hydrated during the busy holiday travel season:

• Sip steadily, not suddenly. Bring a reusable water bottle and drink consistently rather than waiting until you feel thirsty.
• Balance out dehydrating beverages. Coffee, alcohol, and sodas can increase fluid loss. If you choose them, pair each serving with an equal amount of water.
• Pack water-rich snacks. Fruits and vegetables like oranges, grapes, cucumbers, and celery provide hydration, vitamins, and fiber.
• Hydrate more in the air. Cabin conditions quickly pull moisture from the body. Aim for roughly eight ounces of water for every hour spent in flight.

“Hydration does not need to be complicated,” Nunley says. “Pack smart, sip often, and choose foods that support your body. A few simple habits can help you land feeling clear and energized.”
