I have to admit Johnny, I'm not really all that healthy at home. I'm a totally sucked for anything bread-based - yum!
It depends on where I go as to how healthy I am. I think in some countries it's much easier than others. And in summer it's even easier! I mean, there's ice cream, but there are also loads of markets with seasonal produce dotted around. I love buying really big punnets of fruit and eating them while strolling through the town.
But, of course, when it comes to dinner...that's a different story

Hi Brownbear!
Yeah you're right, it's really tough. But I think most of the point of holidays is to relax, so you shouldn't stress out too much. Things I try to do....
I like city breaks, so I walk a lot and do sightseeing. You can easily get through 10k or more each day this way, although you'll have some sore leg muscles...
Use the hotel swimming pool. Not such a big fan of this (hate chlorine in hair), but it's certainly good exercise and it's great if they have a sauna afterwards. Even better if the hotel has a fitness room too.
Hm, otherwise...maybe um, make use of one's boyfriend/girlfriend?

Just thought I would add my two cents:
I try to pay attention to eating healthily on holiday because of my two kids BUT I don't think you should be a slave to it. Half the fun of a holiday is kicking back with ice cream and nice meals - maybe a glass of wine or two once the kids are in bed!
What we tend to do is make sure we have a hotel with a pool. The boys love it and always tire themselves out before bedtime. I'm also pretty fond of a lap or two...
I'm also a big fan of walking, but with kids it's not as easy. Sometimes my partner goes to the fitness studio in the hotel, but that seems like far too much hard work for me!

It's always important to take care of your health, but there are additional concerns to keep in mind when you're traveling.
Whether you're taking a quick trip with your family or studying abroad for several months, it's easier to get sick when you're in a new place because your body hasn't had a chance to adjust to the food, water, and air in a new environment. Traveling can bring you in contact with things that your body isn't used to.
Three of the most common health problems that you may experience when traveling are jet lag, altitude sickness, and diarrhea. When you fly across time zones, the differing amounts of light can change your internal body clock, resulting in a condition known as jet lag. Jet lag may cause some symptoms that are bummers on a fun trip, including upset stomach, insomnia, and tiredness.
There are some things you can do to combat jet lag; for example, if you're traveling from west to east, you should stay out of the sun until the day after your arrival. If you're flying from east to west, go for a brisk walk as soon as possible after you arrive.
Altitude sickness is caused by dry air, a decrease in oxygen, and low barometric pressure when you travel to a higher altitude than you're used to. As a result, you may have problems, such as headaches, dehydration, and shortness of breath. Some people are affected at 5,000 feet (1,524 meters), but others aren't affected until they reach altitudes of 10,000 feet (3,048 meters) or more. Find out what altitude you're traveling to before you go to see if altitude sickness could be a problem.
The best prevention for altitude sickness is to gradually increase your altitude every day to get used to it. If that isn't possible, a drug known as acetazolamide can help relieve and even prevent symptoms of altitude sickness. If you think that you might get altitude sickness, talk with your doctor before you leave home.
The topic of diarrhea may seem gross, but it can be a serious problem. Traveler's diarrhea, known as turista, often occurs when a foreign type of bacteria enters your digestive tract, usually when you eat contaminated food or water. The best way to prevent turista is to be very careful of the food you eat and the water you drink on the road.
Safe Eats and Drinks
So what foods are safe to eat? Any foods that have been boiled are generally safe, as well as fruits and vegetables that have to be peeled before eating. Avoid eating uncooked or undercooked meat or meat that is not cooked just prior to serving.
You Can Take It With You
When you're packing, you'll want to include any medications and other medical supplies you use on a daily basis because they may be hard to find in another country if you run out. Even if you can find them, there's a good chance the formulations will be stronger or weaker than the ones you're used to. These may include any prescriptions you already take, such as inhalers, allergy medication, and insulin, as well as contact lens cleaners and vitamins.
Basic Safety
It's easy to let your guard down when you travel. After all, you're more relaxed and there are so many new sights to focus on. In addition to paying attention to your personal safety (avoiding secluded places and not walking alone after dark), you'll need to reset your thinking when it comes to traffic safety, too.

For me, not as always. I simply cannot resist those unhealthy mouth-watering foods that I can see on a certain place.
