Healthy Eating While Traveling

When it comes to health, it doesn’t just stop at fitness. Nutrition is extremely important and can get pushed to the side while traveling. The holidays should be fun and there’s no need to deprive yourself. However, some planning can really be beneficial and help you fight some temptations here and there.

It can be very helpful to pack wholesome snacks for yourself so you don’t feel tempted by the holiday trays that always seem to be out. Nuts and dried fruit make for a great pick-me-up during the day and will keep your hunger at bay. Protein bars are another great option. Protein has been shown to decrease hunger and this will be helpful when surrounded by delicious treats.

Practice discipline throughout the day if you have an event coming up that you know you want to indulge at. You can also make healthy choices while at the party. This can be as easy as avoiding the rich eggnog and going for the glass of red wine. If the host wants you to bring anything, make sure it’s a healthy one. This will ensure for at least one healthy option that you will definitely have.

Dominy’s best trick of all is omitting wheat. Even if you are not on the gluten-free train, it is beneficial because removing wheat decreases your intake of calories. This can be as simple as ordering a salad without croutons or swapping vegetables for crackers when there’s a hummus platter.
