HOW TO PRACTICE HEALTHY EATING/ SNACKING WHILE TRAVELLING

 * 18 days ago

4 minute read.

Traveling can be an exciting and enriching experience but challenging when it
comes to maintaining a healthy diet. The temptations of fast food, convenience
store snacks, and indulgent treats can derail even the most disciplined eaters.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You're standing on the roads of a bustling city, the aromas of exotic cuisines
wafting through the air. Food stalls and restaurants tempt you at every turn,
offering an array of delectable delights. It's all too easy to surrender to the
allure of indulgent street food, greasy fast food joints, and sugary snacks.
After all, who wants to worry about calories and nutrition when there's a world
of flavors?

TIPS TO PRACTICE HEALTHY EATING AND SNACKING WHILE TRAVELING


1. SEEK LOCAL, FRESH FOODS

When exploring new destinations, embrace the opportunity to try local, fresh
foods. Seek out farmers' markets, local restaurants, or street food vendors that
offer authentic dishes made with fresh ingredients. Not only will you experience
the local culture and flavors, but you're also more likely to find healthier
options. Freshly prepared meals are less processed and contain fewer
preservatives and additives.


2. DON'T SKIP MEALS, AND FILL YOUR PLATE SENSIBLY

Stick to regular mealtimes while traveling to maintain a sense of routine and
control your hunger. Aim for balanced meals like fruits and vegetables, lean
proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats. Avoid loading your plate with
unhealthy options and empty calories. Instead, focus on nutrient-dense foods
that provide sustained energy. If faced with a buffet or self-service options,
survey the choices before filling your plate mindfully. Listen to your body's
hunger and fullness cues, stopping when comfortably satisfied. Use your hand as
a portion guide, such as a palm-sized serving of protein and a cupped hand for
grains or starchy vegetables.

3. CHOOSE NUTRIENT-DENSE FOODS

When making food choices while traveling, go for nutrient-dense foods that
provide essential vitamins, minerals, and energy. Include various fruits,
vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats in your meals. Fruits like apples,
bananas, and oranges are easy to carry and make for great on-the-go snacks.
Vegetables can be sliced and stored in small containers for quick access. Nuts,
seeds, and granola bars are excellent options for portable, nutritious snacks.


4. STAY HYDRATED

Proper hydration is essential for overall health, particularly while traveling.
Carry a refillable water bottle and make it a habit to drink water throughout
the day. Avoid sugary drinks and excessive caffeine, as they can dehydrate your
body. If you're traveling by air, the low humidity in airplane cabins can
increase dehydration, so drink even more water during your flight. Staying
hydrated will help you feel more energized and reduce unnecessary cravings for
unhealthy snacks.

5. BE MINDFUL OF SNACKING HABITS

Snacking can be a significant challenge while traveling, especially during long
journeys or layovers. Instead of mindlessly grabbing unhealthy snacks, be
mindful of your snacking habits. Choose snacks that provide sustained energy and
avoid those high in refined sugars and unhealthy fats. Some healthy snack
options include yogurt, trail mix, whole-grain crackers, protein bars, and
sliced vegetables with hummus. Pack these items in your carry-on or have them
readily available in your car.


6. USE TECHNOLOGY TO FIND HEALTHY OPTIONS

Utilize smartphone apps and websites that provide information on local
restaurants, menus, and reviews. Look for apps designed to identify healthy
dining choices or those that cater to specific dietary preferences or
restrictions. These resources can help you discover restaurants that offer
nutritious meals, vegan or vegetarian options, gluten-free dishes, and more.
Additionally, you can use apps to locate nearby grocery stores or farmers'
markets where you can stock up on fresh produce and healthy snacks.


7. LIMIT ALCOHOL AND SUGARY TREATS

Alcoholic beverages and sugary treats can be tempting while traveling, but they
can negatively impact your health and energy levels. Limit your alcohol intake
and opt for healthier alternatives like infused water or herbal teas. When it
comes to sweets, enjoy them in moderation and choose options that are made with
natural ingredients or have lower added sugars.


8. PRACTICE MODERATION

While it's essential to prioritize healthy eating while traveling, it's also
crucial to indulge in moderation. Allow yourself to enjoy local delicacies or
treats occasionally but be mindful of portion sizes and frequency. Remember that
balance is key to sustainable healthy eating habits. By practicing moderation,
you can savor unique culinary experiences while still nourishing your body with
wholesome foods.


TIPS FOR HEALTHY EATING WHILE TRAVELING IN A CAR OR IF FEELING NAUSEA

 * Eat smaller, frequent meals instead of heavy ones.
 * Avoid greasy and fried foods.
 * Use ginger or peppermint to alleviate nausea.
 * Take breaks, get fresh air, and stretch.
 * Go for nuts, yogurt, fruits, and veggies.


CONCLUSION

Maintaining a healthy diet while traveling doesn't have to be a daunting task.
With a bit of planning, conscious decision-making, and moderation, you can
practice healthy eating and snacking while on the go. By choosing nutrient-dense
foods, controlling portion sizes, staying hydrated, and seeking out local, fresh
options, you can enjoy your travels while nourishing your body. Remember,
healthy eating is a journey, and each choice you make contributes to your
overall well-being, both during and after your travels. Bon voyage and bon
appétit!
