Holiday season is fast approaching, and no one wants to gain weight or feel unhealthy whilst they are away. I've seen people drinking pints of beer at 7am, or eating burgers and chips - just because they are on holiday!
Good planning begins at the airport. Anyone who travels regularly will know you have to look for the healthy options - but they are there!
If possible, have a healthy meal before you get to the airport (or take a few healthy snacks with you if it's an early start) then you will not need to eat until you are in the air.
Try to avoid airline catering - it's not the healthiest option! Last time I travelled I was able to buy salads, wraps, sushi, nuts, dried fruit, fresh fruit and yoghurt in the airport shops. Take a picnic on board!
It's best to eat little & often when at altitude as your metabolic functions slow down. Small amounts of food, eaten regularly, should make you feel more comfortable than one large meal.
Once through security remember to buy bottled water to keep you hydrated during the flight - you may need a few bottles for long haul. Avoid coffee and alcohol if possible as they both act as diuretics, causing increased dehydration.
Have a good trip!
