Eating right on the road is a pretty hot topic now, especially since many of us are going to spend a vacation away from home. And the topic of food on the road is especially painful, because for some reason we allow ourselves to relax and switch from a healthy menu to “what is needed” - fast food, sugary soda and other unhealthy foods
Food on the road
When going on the road, try to think carefully about your diet and try to buy groceries in advance. Give preference to low-calorie foods:
- chicken fillet or turkey fillet;
- parboiled brown rice;
- hard cheeses;
- any nuts;
- various greens;
- whole grain breads or crispbreads.
Here, for example, is such a menu of proper nutrition on the road - natural yogurt, boiled chicken fillet (you can store it in foil or make sandwiches with black bread), fruit for a snack. When choosing products, remember that smoked foods, boiled eggs, sausages, etc. are perishable goods and are best left at home, as they must be kept in the refrigerator.
If you have long transfers on the way, try not to order large portions at roadside cafes and give preference to foods rich in fiber and those that will help you quickly satisfy your hunger. These simple tips will help you stay healthy on the go.
What is recommended to drink on the road
Proper nutrition and drinking regime are inextricably linked and everyone understands that in the heat you need to drink more water than in cool weather so that there is no dehydration. Give preference to water without gas - it can quench your thirst and dilute hot tea or coffee.
Take the time to prepare the sliced lemon for your trip and sprinkle it with sugar. These pieces can be added to water to create a kind of homemade lemonade that will help alleviate the symptoms of motion sickness and make up for vitamin deficiencies. Another tip if you have seasickness symptoms on your trip is to grab a ginger drink. To prepare it, you will need 3-4 cm of grated ginger root and two liters of boiling water. You can add honey and lemon to the drink to taste.
