Traveling opens the door to new cultures, experiences and, of course, incredible food. But it can also disrupt routines, making it harder to maintain the healthy habits you have at home. The good news is that eating well on the road doesn’t require strict rules or deprivation. With a mindful approach, you can enjoy your trip fully while still supporting your energy, digestion and overall wellbeing.
When I was in Africa, I was able to experience many foods that I'd never heard of or seen before. This is one of my favorite things about traveling - the discovery of new flavors, and along with them, new cultures. Recently, I found myself on assignment in South Sudan. This is a nation normally associated with civil strife - a quick search only brings up awful headlines about the fighting that is still ongoing in this beautiful country. Dealing with this humanitarian crisis was the main reason for my being there, yet when I'm on assignment, I still always make an effort to dive into local culture as much as I can.
