On the road or in the air again, the key to health while traveling to plan ahead. PPP, PREPARE, PACK, AND PLAN ahead. Children and Family members should all contribute to the food planning of travel. Think and plan ahead of time. Be mindful of messy foods that have an odor. Foods like French Fries or sushi should never be eaten on an airplane. Nuts, small sandwiches, and food boxes with hummus, figs, or prunes are wonderful healthy snacks. An extra pop tart is always good to have on hand for the picky eaters in your family.
