Have a fun - and healthy - trip
MANILA, Philippines - Nothing beats a long drive with family and friends. A road trip might seem the perfect time to indulge in chips and fast food, but you needn’t be stuck with such high-fat and empty-calorie choices.
A well-packed cooler and picnic basket of food items in the car will go a long way towards making sure everyone is well fed on the road. Having small sandwiches and biscuits handy instead of the usual bag of chips would be far healthier.
Make water your beverage of choice. It doesn’t stain and it’s not sticky when it spills. Pack along Nesvita Cereal Milk Drink (CMD) and simply pour it into hot or cold water. Add fruits to liven up its natural goodness. Fruits are more easily digestible than many other foods and can give the fuel you need to get going.
Try adding apples. They help keep you awake. Oranges are also full of vitamin C that boosts your immune system. They’re a great source of iron and help keep your cholesterol low. Strawberries are another fine source of vitamin C and manganese, as well as folic acid, potassium, riboflavin, vitamin B5, vitamin B6, copper, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids.
A combination of fiber and fruits in a diet will make a difference, and a convenient snack like Nesvita CMD makes it much easier to squeeze in a healthy snack on a long trip. It contains fiber that aids in proper digestion, which will make you feel clean and light, beautiful, and radiant inside out while you’re on the road. Because it has fiber, it would make you feel full longer and thus cut the need for stopovers at diners, avoiding extra calories along the way.
If you must have a meal, go fresh and light. Order a salad with chicken fillet instead of that big steak. That’s easier on the stomach and not as loaded with calories.
When on the move, carbohydrates are also important. To keep you going, munch on whole grains, nuts, and cereals along the way and enjoy the view. Handy snacks that are good for your health and easy on the calories will help your trip be both fun and nutritious.
