Food on the GO

Remember the Max's six Ps rule

Particularly if you’re travelling or out of your normal routine – family occasions or periods of stress.

Always take the advice of a qualified medical practitioner before making major changes in lifestyle or eating

Fast and Snacky Foods

Most foods-on-the –go are expensive, full of preservatives, salt and fat. If you can, carry your own food and keep as close as possible to your normal routine.

Drink

It’s essential to maintain your hydration. Bottled water is expensive and you can buy cheap light-weight water bottles in any outdoor or sports shop and fill with water for your journey.

Surprisingly, teas and coffees are a poor option because they contain caffeine which is a diuretic, which means they dehydrate you.

Energy – quick in: quick out

If you’re planning an energetic day carry energy foods like fruit rather than relying on caffeine for your energy boost. They’re easy to carry and provide an instant energy top up.
