Healthy Travel

Whether you're traveling via airplane, or car .. it's important to take some time to plan ahead ... and avoid the drive-through.
Dietitian Cami Brost says "it's a good idea to have some healthy snacks along: trial mix, dried fruit, crackers, cereal."
If you know you'll be baking big meals or treats with family and friends while your on vacation, remember to fill up on healthy foods first.
Brost says "don't bake when you're hungry. You'll taste more if you start out hungry."
Another thing to remember on vacation ... while you may not be at your regular gym, there are still ways to fit in exercise.
"If you're in a hotel with a fitness center, it;s good to take advantage of it if you're they for say, a week, if you like to be in a gym, " Brost says.
Another way to keep moving while you're on vacation this winter ... head outside.
Brost says 'go out and play with your children, grandchildren if they're around. You can play in the snow, go sledding or ice skating."
If you keep treats and activity in moderation while you're on vacation ... you'll be traveling lighter this winter.
