Travel Nutrition is that even a thing?

Why I can’t stop talking about nutrition?

All fats are not equal.  Neither are all proteins.

If you know about my fascination with healthy food you will realize why I made my book Nutrition Diet Myths and life free for a few days.

Nutrition Diet Myths and Life (Nutrition Secrets Book 4) by Dr.Amrita Basu https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VSRDNY2/

As a child growing up in a regular Bengali Middle- class family, homecooked simple meals were always on the table.

No processed or fast food except maybe phucchka!

Then medical college came, and duty schedules and food habits all went for a toss.  What exactly was good food?  Someone surviving on frozen chicken had difficult answers coming up.  I suffered food poisoning not once, but at least four times in my adult life as a doctor and realized things needed changing.

I could hardly help people if I kept falling ill.

In 2008 we had traveled to Nainital, for a holiday with friends. I snacked the entire day. Then the inevitable happened. After a horrible bout of vomiting, I simply had no fun the entire evening. 

Lessons learned from that feeling you get after throwing up your entire days’ worth of favorites snacks, is not easy to forget.

Food habits are not easy to break.  Neither are new habits, easy to make.  But if you don’t make the change your body starts showing who is the boss.

That’s why I share my ways of avoiding Travel health and nutrition pitfalls. Things that work for me.

7 Stressfree ways to Eat right when you travel

When I travel I strictly ask for bottled water. Drink plenty of water as staying hydrated is important at all times.

Eat fresh and local as far as possible.

Skip antacids and PPI.  This prevents worms and bacteria from proliferating . The stomach acidity kills them and you have less chance of catching a bug!

Raw protein and cut fruits vegetables are risks you should avoid. 

Avoid eating late.

Walk run swim, trek don’t have an entirely passive holiday.  Those 40 minutes of walk is a must .

If you eat well and stay healthy you travel better.

Try more ala carte than buffet if possible, Avoids food wastage and overeating.

Eat right even when you travel.  Food exercise and health go hand in hand.  If you miss health while you travel, you will miss the fun of travel.
