Anticipate Changes in Sleep
Your gastrointestinal tract is connected to your circadian rhythms, or your body’s internal clock. To stay regular across time zones, prepare by incrementally moving mealtimes and bedtime closer to the schedule of your destination — even just a little bit can help your body get enough rest to keep things moving.

Stick to an Exercise Schedule
Exercise is another daily routine that can be hard to stick to while traveling. Moving our bodies keeps our digestive system moving, so make frequent stops to stretch your legs, build-in exercise time at the hotel gym, or plan time for activities that get your body moving.
