A person goes on vacation or on a business trip. The situation is familiar to everyone - fees, packing a suitcase, buying tickets, thinking through the best route, etc. It seems that everything is stipulated. And what about nutrition on the road? For seasoned travelers, this is not a problem, so they can safely not read further. Although for them it will not be superfluous to remember once again how to eat right on the road.
Nutrition rules in the way
Many people try not to bother in vain and do simple "snacks", while using simple but very harmful products( chips, noodles or instant soups, chocolates, etc.).Of course, if the use of such fast food is limited to one or two meals, nothing terrible will happen. But if on the road you have to spend a few days, the food even on the train should be full and healthy, otherwise on arrival at the resort you will have to swallow activated charcoal or Smectoo.
What should be the products, so that the stomach is healthy, and the road does not seem boring and tedious? Main criteria:
- possibility of long-term storage without damage;
- readiness for instant use( pulled out and ate);
- availability of the necessary amount of vitamins and calories;
- compactness, so as not to be a burden.
Which products to take in the road
And now let's proceed to the specifics and name the products that meet all of the above criteria.
Fruits and vegetables
These products and a variety of greens are an indispensable part of the road ration of any traveler, as plant food is the guarantor of normal intestinal work. In vegetables and fruits, a lot of microelements and vitamins. In the way it is very useful to eat celery, carrots, cucumbers, potatoes, tomatoes, bananas, apples, pears and citrus.
Eggs
No one road does without a hard-boiled egg. This is fast, and convenient, and useful, because in a little space egg is very much carbohydrates, proteins, fats and vitamins. Eating eggs has a beneficial effect on brain activity, which is very important. You arrive on vacation or on a business trip fully prepared for new experiences or work.
Cheese
This is perhaps the only dairy product that you can safely take on the road. In addition, that the cheese can be stored long enough, it is quite caloric - two hundred grams of the product contain about two-thirds of the daily amount of protein. According to the nutritional value, a small piece of cheese is equivalent to two liters of milk, but it is much more economical in terms of volume.
Nuts and dried fruits
Their use on the road is very appropriate. But they need preliminary preparation, otherwise you can face problems. Nuts should be cleaned and fried( in a frying pan or in the oven).Dried fruits should be doused with boiling water and thoroughly dried.
Meat and fish
If you do not imagine life without these products, then do not give up on them and on the road. If you have a healthy stomach, you can take a stick of smoked sausage. Wrap the sausage with dry paper, so it will be preserved even if the train is warm.
With regard to fish products, naturally, we are talking about canned food. In fish, as is known, a lot of calcium and phosphorus, positively affecting the weakened expensive organism. And the polyunsaturated fatty acids contained in fish products improve the fat metabolism, which has a positive effect on the vessels and the activity of the heart. True, there are some limitations. Do not take in the way sprats in oil, as well as other canned goods from smoked fish. Another point - remember that in the warmth of an open can of canned food, walls quickly oxidize, which accelerates the spoilage of the product. Therefore, if you opened canned food - then eat them immediately.
Baking and other bakery products
Here you can not limit yourself in anything. The bread( white, rye, with additives), and cookies, and biscuits will do. Restriction is only one thing - in products there should not be fast-spoiling fillings. Biscuit and sand products and muffins remain fresh and soft for much longer than baking. Well, best of all - crackers or drying.
Drinks
Everyone knows that the lack of drinking is much more difficult for a person than for lack of food. Therefore, make sure that the drink was in sufficient quantities, especially in the summer, when overheating on the road - a common thing. Although now the purchase of mineral water is not a problem, still keep in the last resort a small bottle of water, it will always come in handy. It is best to take water without gas. Well, those who travel by train, never give up the tea offered by the conductors of tea, this is, so to speak, a road ritual. And good fellow travelers!
