Vacation Travel Healthy Eating Tips

July 14, 2010 by angishields

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy share some great vacation health tips. If you are going to be driving all day – it is a good idea to get some exercise in beforehand – because once you’re in that car you won’t be burning many calories. Prepare lots of healthy snacks to eat in the car in order to prevent trips through the drive through or be tempted by all the unhealthy food choices there are on the road. Healthy snacks like sandwiches, wraps and veggies and fruit you can eat with your hands without making a mess work great. If you’re traveling by plane be sure to bring some trail mix or energy bar that you can keep on you in case there is a flight delay. On a cruise try and avoid the overeating that goes on at the buffet. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

She said an easy way to cut calories is to boost up the vegetables in your meal while cutting back on the meat.

She also said that the recipes are so easy a husband can do it.

How to Use Cartoons Influence Over Kid’s Eating For Good Not Evil

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain how cartoon characters can influence what food your kids eat. In recent research that will not surprise anyone who has a child it seems that kids prefer foods that are associated with their favorite cartoon characters. On the surface this may seem like bad news – but in reality parents can take this information and use it to their advantage. How about filling bags with fruit slices and vegetables and slapping cartoon stickers all over it and then give that to your kids to make it more appealing. If you can get your kid to be a more healthy eater and eat more fruit just by putting a Sponge Bob sticker on a banana – then give it a try. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

Fruit Smoothie Recipe

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy share a favorite fruit smoothie recipe. The secret to making a super thick fruit filled smoothie is to use frozen fruit instead of ice. You can use the ice as filler to make a larger quantity but try and use frozen fruit in your smoothie as the base. If you want to give your smoothie an ice cream taste then add some milk and vanilla extract. And if you’re really living on the edge add some cashews into the blender – go nuts for added protein.
