Be healthy on the GO!

I’ve been asked a lot what I do to avoid unhealthy eating habits , so this article is dedicated to that. Some basic actions can really save your day!

Everywhere I go, I try to look for new places where I can find exciting organic food options. Also I go for greener options as much as I can, re using plastic and paper bags or water bottles for example – and always manage my diet to be the best as possible in the most different situations.

I don’t like how plane food tastes and how it makes you feel bloated – so I’ve found a solution for it: always pack a few healthy snacks and a nice home made meal to eat on the plane…

I spend so much time in airports and airplanes that if I don’t take proper care, I’d end up eating something not good for me. At the first time I made my own bowl with plenty of healthy food I felt much more vitality and energy to handle those never ending 10 hours seated on a plane. Everyone should try it! No shame! Even the plane staff helped me out heating the meal, and there it goes a tip if you wanna do the same: take an aluminum bowl to make it easier, then ask someone to heat for you just the way they do it with regular food they serve it.

This beautiful plate was made with love by my boyfriend and it’s all organic quinoa beets and carrots with tilapia fillet and caramelized onions and some boiled egg whites! YUMMY

That meal was the first one we made to eat healthy on the go: Brussels sprouts, broccoli, sweet potatoes and fish fillet

 Sometimes at work, snacks before or after lunch time, are not nutritious enough to help me get going through my day of hard work. So again I’ve found a solution. I ALWAYS take with me energy protein bars, nuts and other organic snacks in little bowls that fit in my bag. I will never go to work unprepared, because we never know what’s for breakfast and lunch. I’m known by stylists and beauty artists for doing it ( they usually sees me sneaking in my purse ), they call me “smart girl” and I have the pleasure to share my treats with them.

These are a few simple things you could integrate in to your routine, or if you don’t have a routine (in my case).  You just need to think ahead of all difficult situations you’re gonna be dealing with, so you are prepared for everything!

Follow these tips on a daily basis, and you will not regret anything after all :

• Try not to stay more than 3 hours without eating, ALWAYS have some good snacks with you, otherwise will won’t even notice that it’s been hours since you bite something.
• Drink water! sometimes your body will trick you, so you might think you’re hungry and would end up cheating with bad snacks, when your body it’s JUST thirsty !
• If you don’t exercise that much ( or as much as you’d like to ); always goes for smart choices: stairs instead of elevators, go walking or biking to work  – do not ever lose a chance of moving your body!

Stay healthy!
