8 Great Tips For Avoiding Eating Problems When You Travel - One of the best parts of a trip is tasting and enjoying all kinds of new and delicious foods, whether you are driving through the state or flying across the world. And, without a doubt, it's fun to let go a little and eat things that you don't normally eat for a week at home, that's part of the freedom and excitement of vacationing!
But we all know the feeling when we experience too much for too many consecutive days: total lack of energy, bloating, dehydration, headaches, or motion sickness, pronounced jet lag, increased susceptibility to pain.
All of these things can really hinder the enjoyment of your trip. And if you're someone with food restrictions, you know the additional frustration of trying to find good food that is also good for you!
The good news is that it's easier than ever to make a type of food choice that will keep you healthy and energized when you are away from the routine that you normally do. Here are some simple ways to eat well while enjoying the best moments of your trip:
1. Plan ahead. Often when we travel, we get out of the routine and don't eat regularly. Sometimes we can go a few hours without eating anything.
Contrary to the popular myth that you have to delay eating to "save space" for large meals, doing long stretches without eating actually slows down your metabolism and causes your body to become sluggish and tired and dependent on calories. Our bodies experience this period as "small hunger" and send our brains into panic mode.
To keep blood sugar stable and avoid energy irregularities (which can then cause excessive compensation with high-sugar or fried foods), try to eat a little every few hours on the way and when you go out and around, in the form of foods that are nutrient-dense and high in protein without fat. Pack snacks for easy access: nuts, seeds, hard-boiled eggs, hard fruits (such as apples), vegetables and hummus, or natural fruit and nut stalks.
If you know where you live, find a restaurant in your hotel area. Check with your hotel or resort to research the menu and see what's available. After you arrive, you can use apps like AroundMe to find healthy restaurants in your area. And look at this smart phone application that can help you find gluten-free options and other allergens while traveling.
2. Don't forget the grocery store! Supermarkets, and especially local cooperatives, can be your best ally when traveling. You will have easy and inexpensive access to fresh products and mass healthy snacks. You will find a variety of great foods that are gluten free, milk, and other common allergens at reasonable costs. In addition, many cooperatives also have food stores where you can get delicious sandwiches, salads, or packs for you to carry throughout the day.
3. Your mother is right: take green vegetables and take your vitamins. When you travel, your immune system is exposed to many new pathogens - especially on airplanes and other mass transportation. You want to make sure your body has what it needs to stay healthy and fight germs and process poisons.
Don't forget to always carry a multivitamin and other supplements if you can get ready access to fresh vegetables, consider taking powdered vegetables that you can bring and easily mix them into a glass of water or morning smoothies.
4. Talk about morning smoothies ... if you are truly dedicated to getting daily fruit and vegetable intake, you might consider bringing a travel blender. This might seem extreme to some people, but consider this: most of them are under $ 20, enter easily into a suitcase or the back of a car, and can be a quick thing to make a strong breakfast of fruits, nuts and vegetables will make you go all morning.
5. Drink more water than usual. Aircraft and hotel rooms are notoriously dry. Walking throughout the day consumes energy and dehydration. Often people drink alcohol or soda with food, which is also dehydrated. Drinking more than 8 glasses of normal water a day will energize you, moisturize your cells, keep your skin glowing, and will help remove toxins.
6. Drink less alcohol than everyone around you drink. This can be a challenge especially on business trips, where drinking is a familiar hobby. But besides dehydration and worsening jet lag, removing more than two drinks will cause more unhealthy eating. (A study from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that men consumed an average of 433 extra calories from alcohol and food when they consumed more than two drinks!)
7. Try to get your eight-hour beauty break. It's easier said than done, I know! But getting a proper rest helps stabilize your metabolism, rearranges your adrenal system, and increases your immunity. Enough rest will make every other choice you face on vacation easier.
8. Try the "one and finish" rule. Let yourself enjoy and enjoy it - just save it once a day. Get a beautiful piece of chocolate cake. Get extra help from french fries. Order objects that are doused with butter, and love each bite. And then, do it with unhealthy food for the day. There is always more.
