Healthy Eating…on The Go
With all the demands of daily life – family, career, friends, hobbies – there doesn't seem to be enough time to sit down and enjoy a meal, let alone the time to ensure you are eating all the things you should to maintain a healthy diet.
"Between rehearsing for a show, attending public appearances and spending quality time with my son, I rarely have time to sit down and eat a meal that has all the daily vitamins and nutrients I need to keep up my on-the-go lifestyle," says Jamie Salé, 2002 Olympic Gold medalist in pairs figure skating. "I rely on snacks that are healthy and taste great to make sure I'm maintaining my strength and energy."
Luckily there are many options available to people on-the-go who are looking for solutions to meet their recommended daily intake (RDI) of vitamins and minerals. Here's a list of options for an on-the-run eater:
• Instant oatmeal is a fast and easy snack that is high in protein. One package of instant oatmeal has about five grams of protein balanced with good carbohydrates. Packages can be stored in your desk drawer and need nothing more than hot water to create an energy-rich meal or snack. Looking to add a little something? Fresh blueberries provide great flavour and are a natural anti-oxidant.
• Rich in beta carotene, baby carrots remove all the effort involved in preparing sliced vegetable sticks. Carrots are good for your eyes and boost your immunity. If you are looking for a healthy dip for your baby carrots, prepare a simple yogourt-based dip that can be carried from place to place in a small reusable container.
• Yogurt fortified with calcium and vitamin D is another easy and delicious snack. Incorporate Yoplait Asana, made from a unique recipe that contains three complementary ingredients: calcium, vitamin D and selected milk proteins (MBP™) into your diet. One serving (175 grams) contains up to 40 per cent of the RDI of calcium. A healthy diet with adequate calcium and vitamin D, and regular physical activity, help to achieve strong bones and may reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
• There is nothing simpler than throwing an apple, banana or pear into your bag as you step out the door for your busy day. Fruits are a natural source of energy and give your body many nutrients you need to keep going. Eat fruits that are in season and mix things up with more exotic choices like kiwis, grapefruits or mangos.
• Whole grain crackers, coupled with a low-fat peanut butter, will not only fill you up, but will give you the protein and energy you need to keep going. Whole grain crackers are a good alternative to other starch options that can you can grab and go. Another benefit, peanut butter doesn't need to be refrigerated so no need to worry about storing it.
