A Goodreads user asked Gail Carriger:

How do you stay well and fit when on the road?

Gail Carriger Lemme see:
Gloves are one of my secrets, I have perennially cold hands and a vintage look, so old fashioned gloves go with both, but they also keep me from getting sick constantly shaking hands.
On planes I work extra hard never to touch my face and wash my hands regularly at airports.
I drink heavily only once or twice at a con and only if I can sleep in the next morning.
I try to always get 8 hours sleep. I don't eat fried food or sugar on the road, and I gravitate towards lean protein and leafy green vegetables if at all possible. (No sushi in a land-locked state.)
I have Yoga Paws and I try to stretch in my hotel room.
I take the stairs at conventions and in hotels if at all possible. Actually... I just pretty much always take stairs.
I soak my feet every night, no matter how drunk or how tired. The world is always worse if my feet hurt.
But.. I still do get sick. It's hard, particularly on a major book tour.
Hope this helps!
~ Gail
