You often don't have the opportunity to
prepare meals when you're travelling, so here are five easy
rules to follow when you're on the road:
1. Choose the
freshest food you can find.
2. Look for fresh
vegetables, fruits, raw untoasted grains and
cereals.
3. Aim to eat at least 50 per cent of your
fruit and vegetables raw.
4. Add small amounts of fats
in your diet. Choose fats from plant sources such as pure
virgin olive oil and sesame oil.
5. Use natural
condiments to season your meals like lemon or lime juice,
herbs and spices.
These five tips can simplify healthy
eating choices when you're out and about.
