Healthy Eating For Truck Drivers

As a truck driver possibly you are thinking, with these long hours I put on the road, how can I maintain a healthy lifestyle in terms of food? Well, Healthy Eating For Truck DriveHealthy Eating For Truck Driversrs is not impossible, please read on to understand why.

It has been suggested that road truck drivers have an advantage in achieving a healthy eating lifestyle compared to office workers. Maybe its access to different restaurants along the long roads, or being able to cook with your portable stoves as you camp under the night sky, or maybe it’s that there is no stress on the open road, ensuring you don’t eat unnecessarily and unhealthy. When it comes to healthy eating habits, the core aspect is being realistic and commitment to changing your eating habits. It is unnecessary to go way overboard with all that fancy organic, low fat diet, gluten free, and sugar free and everything-free, basically a monk’s cuisine.

Instead be realistic and just eat what you need at the right time. Here are some tips to help you out;

  1. Start your day Big and end it Small

This is in tandem with the necessary daily energy requirements, it doesn’t make sense eating a huge supper only to go to sleep and skipping out on breakfast. Unless you are exercising in your sleep, eat small portions before bedtime. As you start your day keep in mind you need energy for your day and eating a huge healthy portion in the morning will do you just right.

  1. Ditch the Soda for water

Soda is a big contributor to weight gain, cutting back on soda might actually help you shed off some pounds. As you drink that soda, your body is tricked into thinking its hungry, always asking for more food, thus increasing your weight. Water, on the other hand, disciplines your tummy, sharpening its sense of hunger and fullness.

  1. Get that portable stove

Cooking your own food is better, since you control your ingredients, also it’s not that difficult, cooking a one person’s meal, and you can cook in bulk and store it in a hot pot, keeping it fresh up to the next day, at lunch time.

  1. Temet Nosce (Know Thyself)

Knowing yourself provides the opportunity to adjust yourself and develop healthy eating habits. Do you snack because you are bored? Find a hobby to keep you off snacking carelessly, or rather snack in fruits and whole cereals.

But essentially know your weaknesses to plot their downfall.

By tackling these four bits, you will be on your road to healthy eating success.

So what is a good Diet plan?

A popular question no doubt, different people offer different answers depending on their viewpoint. Ideally a good diet consists of quality nutrient-filled foods with low saturated trans-fats. It should also be highly composite of protein and fiber. Examples of good protein are chicken and beans. Fiber is also in beans, vegetables and fruits.

ART Corporate Solutions Testimonials

  • Although SCI has made efforts in other areas to reduce workers' compensation costs, our significant reduction in expenses is largely due to ART's program. OSHA VPP auditors called this program a Best Management Practice after auditing Sanmina-SCI.

    Mary Betsch
    EH&S
    Manager Sanmina-SCI

  • In 2004 I was invited to a short seminar put on by ART. I was so impressed with the program that I was eager to find out more about it. Dr. Michael Leahy showed me the many ways that Active Release Techniques could benefit our company. I have certainly not been disappointed in what ART has to offer. ART has saved our company thousands of dollars in Workers Compensation Benefits, Insurance Premiums which helped us to lower our experience modifier rate.

  • ART has been a WIN-WIN program for LPR and its employees. Employees can utilize ART to free themselves of discomforts that they would usually just live with. Now, with ART, the minor discomforts are prevented from becoming serious. I personally, and other managers, have had successsful experiences with ART and will continue to spread the word of ART.
