Eating Healthy On The Run

 Eating Healthy On The Run


Whether your traveling on the go or around the 

home, you don't need to give up healthy eating 

simply because you are on the run.  The fact is, 

healthy eating is even more important when your 

trying to keep up with a busy schedule.


Having a good diet will help your body to handle

stress better.  As you hustle about, a healthy meal

is probably the last thing you think about.  The

following tips can help you eat when your on the go.


Restaurants

With tempting menus, large portions, and a festive

atmosphere, it's easy to skip healthy eating.  It's

okay to splurge every now and then, although you'll

pack on a lot of weight if you make it a habit.  

When you eat out at restaurants, always be smart 

about it.


Airports

An airport can be a very stressful place, although

you shouldn't scrap your diet because of it.  Eat

because you are hungry, not because of stress, 

boredom, or to kill time.


In your car

Keep some healthy snacks in your car at all times, 

so that when you get hungry - you have them.


At home 

Evenings and mornings are busy times in most homes.

Making the time to eat can be hard, although you

shouldn't run out the door without eating breakfast

first.  Cereal with milk, a banana, muffin, or even 

a bagel is a great way to start the day.


Anytime you are on the go, always make sure that you

make the right food decisions.  You can take healthy

food with you if you need to, so that you have it

when you need it.  Eating healthy on the go is easy

to do, once you know how.  Never sacrifice healthy

food for junk, as your body will regret it later.
