Eating Healthy While Traveling Preparation Secrets

Online, February 10, 2011 (Newswire.com) - A lot of people nowadays don't have time to prepare their own food, they buy fast foods and other unhealthy meals just to save few minutes of the day. Neven from Ex-Foodie exposes quick and easy preparation secrets how to go around traveling and eating healthy.

"Seasonal fruit is at the top of my list. Being on an airplane is very dehydrating so eating water rich snacks is very important. Also before you even set foot on the plane drink as much water as you can. I aim for at least 5 cups, in addition to what I already drank that day.

Snacks

Raw bars are great to have on hand if there is an unexpected delay and you need a quick snack. I recently had the opportunity to sample some really delicious ones made by The Bearded Brothers that I'll be reviewing soon. Manna bread is also a great snack to travel with, it's not raw but it's made with sprouted grains and is naturally sweetened. It tastes amazing with a little raw almond butter. Look for it in the freezer section. Just cut a few frozen slices and pack them into your bag, they will defrost by the time you are ready to eat them. The raisins are for my son he loves to snack on them when we fly.

Salad

It's pretty easy to find a salad at most airports so I only bring one with me if I'm not carrying a lot. If you prefer to bring your own just stop by Whole Foods or any grocery store with a salad bar and grab one. It is fine to take it on the airplane as long as you don't have any containers of dressing in there. If I'm leaving from home or a place that has a kitchen I'll usually dress the tomatoes, cucumbers and other sturdy vegetables in extra dressing and keep them in a small container and pack dry greens in a plastic bag. You'd be surprised how much you can fit in those bags once you take the air out. Once I'm on the airplane I'll just add the dry greens to the dressed part of my salad. This is a great way to get a dressed salad without worrying about your liquids getting taken away. Also if you add oranges or pineapples to your salad they will add a great flavor and you won't need any extra dressing.

Good attitude
This is the most important one. If we have a negative attitude we will attract nothing but negativity. Although I love to travel I can be a nervous traveler at times. I make sure to load soothing music on my phone or a take a book that will calm me down and give me a positive outlook. We have all been in situations where everything seems to be going wrong. If our attitude is good we will be able to find a good solution and move past it"
