Food Revolution (foodrevolution.org) has recently written an article on the best way to travel and stay healthy. It may take a little extra work, but your body will be happy you did.
Here are some tips they recommend:
1. Find out (even in advance) where and when the local farmer's markets may be held where you will be traveling to. You get to see that part of the city you may not have taken the time to visit, and you can purchase organic veggies and fruit.
2. Support local farmer's stands as you travel. You will find all the seasonal goodies to make your trip great by keeping healthy.
3. Visit local vendors in the towns you visit, a great way to find out about the restaurants you may want to eat at, along with connecting to the community. Talk to the locals to see what places they recommend.
4. If possible (traveling by car in the USA), bring non-perishable foods that you are use to eating, such as probiotics (non-refrigerated kind), flax seeds and/or chia seeds, organic fruits and vegetables, ginger (for an upset tummy), nuts and seeds, spices, etc.
5. By car, perhaps bring your favorite cooking tools....a small cutting board and knife, reusable glass water bottle, a small cooler and ice packs, small storage glass containers with lids, etc.
Your travels with attention to your health will make your time away from home even more enjoyable!
Happy Traveling!
