Fun fact: I haven’t bought airport food in close to a decade now.
My body is already dealing with altitude, recycled air and sitting still for hours. The last thing it needs is processed food on top of that.
Two years ago I added a hard no to alcohol when flying too. Huge difference in swelling after a flight.
What’s on menu this trip: grilled chix salad with blackberries, feta, pumpkin seeds and tomato. Blueberries and cashews on the side. A banana. Water.
It may seem time consuming and a hastle but it’s actually the opposite.
Try it for your next trip. Instead of packing a whole bunch of snacks or buying them at the airport, pack a whole foods solid meal. See how you feel.
Pro tip — a bag of food doesn’t count as your carry on or personal item. It’s just extra. Pack accordingly. 💛
