{"text":"Truck drivers face strict regulations limiting the number of hours they work in a day. With that, a lot of truckers focus on delivering the shipments on time that they forget about their health. Behind the wheel is also not forgiving as it means that you need to live a sedentary lifestyle. \r\n\r\nBelow, I have listed meals that will help you as a truck driver avoid gaining excess weight, prevent diet-related diseases, lower your healthcare costs, and avoid challenges in old age.\r\n\r\nLean Meat\r\n\r\nMeat is a popular truck driver meal throughout the country, but you should know that not all types of meats are healthy. For example, hamburgers and fried meats contain a higher fat content and more calories, which is not recommended for your body. However, it is recommended to eat lean meat (poultry and fish) that has been either boiled or baked.\r\n\r\nFresh Fruits\r\n\r\nTruck drivers who habitually snack on fresh fruits and vegetables tend to have a stronger immune system and sustained energy throughout the day. Citrus fruits such as oranges and lemons contain high levels of vitamin C that keep you healthy and act as an antioxidant. They also contain natural sugars and high water content that keeps you energized and feeling full, without all of the calories.\r\n\r\nFiber-Rich Foods\r\n\r\nThere is a wide variety of fiber-rich foods out there that you can add to your diet. They include raw nuts, brown rice, beans, whole grain bread, and fresh fruits and vegetables. You can enjoy as many fresh salads as you need, while over the road, just remember to avoid salad dressings with high sugar and fat – opt for a vinaigrette or balsamic dressings with olive oil. With foods like these that contain high fiber, you will feel fuller longer and it will prevent you from overeating.\r\n\r\n Water\r\n\r\nLastly, water is one of the most crucial aspects of your diet – don’t forget this. This will help you with sustained energy, digestion, and overall health. Drinking more water will make you feel full and thus avoid overeating.\r\n","pics":"[]","canComment":true} |
