Fighting Fatigue
- Eat for health. Avoid crash diets & poorly balanced diets.
- Take time to eat enough food. Enjoy your meals.
- Avoid fad diets and those that eliminate carbohydrates or whole food groups (eg no dairy products).
- Choose wisely when eating on the run. Sandwiches, rolls, flavoured milks, yoghurt, fruit and low fat muesli bars are some of the better food choices.
- Don't be obsessed with eating 'good' foods, avoiding anything containing fat, or limiting fat intake to 20grams or less per day.
- If you are vegetarian, include meat substitutes like nuts, seeds and legumes.
- Ensure you are well hydrated every day.
- Constant travel can wear you out. Plan your ventures and take your favourite foods such as cereal, sports drink, liquid meal supplement, dried fruit and nuts, cereal or muesli bars and sports bars.
