The Road to Healthy Travel

Maintaining a healthy diet is a snap when you're in the comfort of your own kitchen. But for many health conscious people, a short business trip or even a simple afternoon away from home can sound the health alarm. At this moment of truth, let a little knowledge and foresight come to the rescue.

Before leaving, always check the Internet for the health food stores and restaurants available at your destination. Also, make sure to bring an ice chest, a portable water filter and an anti-parasite vegetable wash.

For salad lovers, buy greens that keep well, such as kale, dandelion, romaine lettuce, endive, basil, sage and baby spinach. Using a salad spinner and salad keeper will add to their longevity. Fresh fruit is also a must.

For quick protein, try protein bars, tofu, or protein packets with water. Raw, organic nuts are also an excellent source. If you have no time to eat, one of the best meals in a bottle is Udo's Choice Wholesome Fast Food Blend, which is made from 52 natural whole foods.

To avoid dehydration, make sure to drink plenty of bottled or filtered water. Mixing your water with EmergenC, Concentrace or green tea tincture is a great way to supplement vitamins and minerals while adding a little taste. Other nutritious beverages include soy milk, rice milk and single serve fruit juices. Locating a source of boiling water will allow you to enjoy a variety of healthy instant soups.

If you have a lapse and find yourself munching on finger food, always use oil-free chips and popcorn. Taking vegetable base enzymes and cranberry tablets will help counter the effects of these processed foods. Should you have a complete breakdown and head for the Golden Arches, then find a local naturopath, say a prayer and re-read this article in the morning.
