An Emergency Kit... For Your Grumbly Tummy!

By Cody Bartosh

Sometimes it's tough to get in all the right nutrition in a day. Especially if time and/or money is short. This is what leads us to "lazy cheats" or finding the easy way out by running through McDonald's or Taco Bell. Or by skipping a meal entirely and forgoing any nutrition what so ever!

Just like you prepare an earthquake kit at home, or a first aid kit and extra set of clothes for the car (you do do that right...?) you can save yourself from a lazy cheat, mid-day fatigue and sabotaged goals by preparing this simple and inexpensive emergency nutrition kit.

All you need is 10 minutes, and a few choice items.

Here's the list;

- A bag of raw, unsalted nuts (almonds, walnuts and pistachios are great!)
- Some low sodium Jerky (turkey jerky rocks!)
- A bag of dried fruit (No sugar added)
- 2 bottles of water

And while you're at, it toss a couple of multi-vitamins in there as well, just in case you miss them in the morning.

Put 3 kits together. One for home (to grab in a hurry), one for the car and one for the office. You can pack them in little coolers, a big zip-lock bag or just a plain grocery bag.

The big secret to nutritional success is being prepared, especially in an emergency!

Cheers!
