We live in a world where everything happens at rocket speed, and for most people, life is lived on the go. This can have a negative impact on our health. Having less time to concentrate on yourself can lead you to make poor nutrition choices. If you can relate, here are some helpful nutrition tips for people on the go.

• Stock up on groceries

While the idea of buying groceries may seem obvious, a significant number of Aussies don’t keep their pantries stocked, which discourages cooking and encourages quick fixes like takeaway food. Encourage healthier habits by stocking up on whole foods with a longer lifespan, so that there’s no excuse to spend cash on fast food. Rice, grains, tinned soup, and long life vegetable such as potatoes are great bases for healthy meals. They last a long time and can be used in a number of recipes. A bit of smart shopping goes a long way.

• Meal prep is a key step

Depending on how busy you are, set aside time for meal preparation every weekend or every evening. Either you put together and freeze meals to be reheated later in the week or make something different in advance each evening at a designated time. Pre-packed lunches and well-planned meal preparation saves you time and money.

• Drink your nutrients

Smoothies are all the rage at the moment, and it’s no wonder why! They’re easy to make, tasty and perfect for consumption on-the-go. Whether you use a blend of vegetables or fruit with yoghurt and nuts, this liquid meal is ideal for busy times. Just pop your favourite healthy ingredients in a blender for a few minutes, pour into a cup and get on with your day. Add a smoothie booster to your blend to receive an extra dose of goodness.

• Don’t forget your vitamins and supplements

Not everyone has time to ensure they get their recommended nutrition every day. A daily nutritional supplement like Vital All In One can help fill your daily nutritional gaps.
