It may not be easy or convenient to live a healthy lifestyle on the road, but it is possible!
Whether you drive across country or have a daily commute to work, eating while traveling can be a necessity.
With a busy schedule and the convenience of fast food, you may have followed the path of many Americans and slipped into a habit of poor nutrition.
While poor nutrition may not seem to affect your health in the short term, it can have long-term detrimental effects.
In the long run, poor nutrition can increase your risk of heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and some types of cancer.
Food on the road typically consists of fast food meals, convenience store snacks and sugary sodas.
Planning ahead and packing simple, nutritious foods can provide energy for your trip without adding pounds to your waistline.
