Eating Smart When You Travel

Today we’re going to look at some ways to eat smarter when you travel…

It takes quite a bit of your body’s energy for digestion (think of it like an app draining the battery on your phone), so if we can eat foods together that digest in a similar way, it will take less energy.

Fruits tend to digest very quickly, as they are mostly water. So, it is best to eat them first (and by themselves) and wait a few minutes before eating other foods.

While I believe we need to drink more purified water overall…that is NOT the case when eating! You should drink as little water (or other liquids) as possible during your meal as it dilutes the digestive enzymes and acid that our body produces to digest the food.

Timing is also important. It is difficult to sleep well when your body is busy digesting the meal you just ate. It’s better to eat as early as possible and walk around so that your body can digest that meal before bedtime, giving you the best chance for good sleep so you can be well rested for your business meetings the next day.

Travel well…
