There might be preservation agents and antioxidants even in a boiled egg! Which is why it is better to pack a homemade sandwich in foil. Let it be not that superb diet food, at least preservation agents free.


Slice vegetables and put them into freezer bags. Onions, carrots and bell peppers will do for this purpose. Add dried fruits and nuts to this vegetable ration. Put them into Tupperware for convenience.


4. If you need to buy food (there is no other way if the place you go is located far away), choose products you know

Moreover, alcohol shatters immunity, which is very much in need when it comes to traveling in order to fight with all the unknown bacteria and viruses under unfamiliar circumstances.


As for coffee, the golden rule is no caffeine after 2 PM (it is even better after noon). What is more, this rule expands for a lifetime, not while traveling only.


10. Buy food in places you know well

If you are thrown in different corners of the world, you do not have such an opportunity. Which is why it is preferably to buy products in the stores of famous global brand nets or expensive restaurants (there are such ones in some airports).


McDonalds, Burger King and alike do not count as such. You do not need many empty calories and stomach pain right in 30 minutes after you ate. As for expensive restaurants, oftentimes a real food is made there out of real ingredients. And that is what you need.


Yes, it is more expensive but you will be full longer and there is going to be no need to spend money on antidiarrheal medicine.

Do not be afraid. You will not die of hunger. You will not even feel any hunger much. You come to understanding that we consume too much food and it appears that we need not that much really.


Fat diets of the 5 : 2, 4 : 3 type and so on based on principles of therapeutic fasting take over the world in leaps and bounds. Abstinence from food to the extent not eases down our bodies from endless digestion and releases from extra body fat only but also let it switch to tasks that are more complicated – cellular turnover, senility and disease control.


Thus, you are welcome to abstinent from food. When you are in the place of destination, you will catch up if you want.
