Food ideas for when you’re on the go
Not sure what to order off the menu? Do you get hangry? Worried about backsliding? Here are a couple of easy tips you’ll want to know.
Be sure to speak with your doctor before making changes to your diet and exercise routine. And remember to take any medications you’ve been prescribed exactly as directed.
Grab-and-go snacks for when you’re on the move
Going on a hike? Planning a road trip? No matter where you go, sometimes hunger hits and it can feel like you’re under a snack attack.
So, pack snacks before you go, or grab some nuts or seeds on the road instead of that bag of chips. Vegetables like broccoli and cucumber are also diabetes-friendly options and great for when you’re on the move. Craving something sweeter? Have an apple or even a couple of small biscuits and enjoy!
On the road? Try these simple swaps when eating out
Finding health-friendly options can be tough when you’re travelling. Whether you’re ordering off the menu at a restaurant or sitting at a drive-through, try these easy swaps to instantly cut down on calories, unhealthy fats, and salt:
- choose grilled rather than fried foods
- choose smaller instead of larger meal sizes
Not near your local gym? Not a problem
You don’t need a gym to keep up your exercise routine when you’re out of town. Try these moves in your hotel room, at the beach, or even in a park.
Be sure to speak with your doctor before making changes to your diet and exercise. And remember to take any medications you’ve been prescribed exactly as directed.
Plank tap
You can do this one just about anywhere, all you need is a sturdy support, such as a chair or park bench.
Get into an incline push-up position with your hands shoulder-width apart on the seat of a sturdy chair or on the edge of a counter. Extend your legs behind you, feet hip-width apart. Touch your left shoulder with your right hand, then return your hand to the starting position and repeat on the opposite side. Continue alternating sides.
Balance reach
From the airport to the beach, you can do this move almost anywhere. Balance training like this is important, especially for older adults.
