5 Nutrition Tips for Road Trips

Embarking on a road trip can be an exciting adventure, but maintaining a healthy diet while traveling can be challenging. To ensure you stay nourished and energized during your journey, consider these top 5 nutrition tips:

Tip #1 Bring Well Balanced Snacks With You

When hitting the road, it’s essential to pack high-protein snacks to keep hunger at bay and maintain energy levels. It is also important to pack carbohydrates and fats to create well balanced options that will keep you feeling fuller for longer.
Here are some ideas:

  1. Banana and single serving almond butter
  2. Protein Bars
  3. Popcorn and Nuts (again notice serving should only be ~10 nuts)
  4. Fresh firm fruit (apple/oranges)
  5. Pretzels and peanut butter to go cups
  6. Baby carrots, celery, bell peppers and hummus to go cups
  7. Almonds and string cheese
  8. Peanut butter and banana sandwich 

Tip #2 Incorporate Movement Breaks

Long hours of sitting in a car can lead to stiffness and discomfort. Plan regular stops along the way to stretch your legs, take a short walk, or do some quick exercises. Movement breaks not only help prevent muscle tightness but also invigorate your body and mind. Try researching popular look out points or short hikes along the way. 

Tip #3 Stay Hydrated

Dehydration can sneak up on you during extended periods of travel. Remember to drink plenty of water throughout your road trip to stay hydrated and alert. Consider carrying a reusable water bottle to refill along the journey and avoid sugary beverages that can cause energy crashes. You can also pack a few bottles CF(Rehydrate)® to help replenish electrolytes and keep you hydrated throughout the journey.

Tip #4 Research Menus In Advance

Before reaching your destination, take the time to look up restaurant menus or nearby eateries. By planning your meals ahead, you can make healthier choices and avoid impulsive decisions that may not align with your nutritional goals. Opt for establishments that offer nutritious options to support your well-being on the road.

Tip #5 Pack Fruits and Veggies

To add a dose of vitamins and fiber to your road trip diet, pack a variety of fruits and vegetables. Portable options like apples, carrots, berries, or cherry tomatoes make for convenient and nutritious snacks that contribute to your overall health. Including colorful produce in your travel provisions ensures you get essential nutrients while on the go. Purchase a few bottles of CF(Rehydrate)® Immunity+ for even more immune support.

By following these nutrition tips, you can enjoy a road trip filled with delicious and wholesome food choices that fuel your body for the adventures ahead. Prioritizing your well-being on the road not only enhances your travel experience but also supports your overall health and vitality.

3 Key Habits to Implement This Year

It’s that time of year again where New Year resolutions are in full effect. At CF Nutrition, our goal is to give you the tools to feel your best all year long. It is time to

kickstart a happier, healthier you in the new year! In today’s blog, discover some effective habits to transform your well-being and radiate positivity all year long. 

Habit #1 Incorporate More Plant Based Meals

There are so many benefits of focusing on plant based foods for one or even two days a week. You don’t have to go completely vegan, but incorporating plant based days can show a positive change in your body and health. Plant based foods help support your immune system. This is because plant based foods have essential vitamins and minerals that you can’t get from other foods. They also contain antioxidants which help keep your cells healthy and your body in balance. This in turn, helps your immune system function better. By incorporating more plant based foods into your diet, your body will better be able to fight off infections and protect you against viruses and germs. A strong immune system will also help reduce your risk for developing chronic disease like cancer. 

Habit #2 Plan Your Meals Ahead of Time 

Meal prepping is a fantastic way to plan ahead and make sure you are eating healthy throughout the week. Some people choose one day to meal prep for the entire week, while others choose to break it up and meal prep on two separate nights. Either way, prepping your meals can save time and money so you don’t have to eat out during your work day. 

Meal prepping also allows you to be more consistent with healthy eating. Not only is eating out expensive, oftentimes it isn’t the healthiest choice either. Although many restaurants offer healthy options – they sometimes load up your meals with extra salt or give you extremely large portions that can lead to weight gain overtime. When you make your meal at home, you can ensure you are using clean and simple ingredients and prepare your food the way you want it. 

Habit #3 Stay Hydrated

Hydration is KEY to feeling your best. During the winter time, when it is cold, sometimes we forget to drink enough water. It is crucial we continue to make hydration a top priority even in the colder months.  In order to stay hydrated, an adequate balance of water and electrolytes is crucial. Electrolytes are minerals (sodium, potassium, magnesium, etc.) that are involved in an abundance of internal events, such as neurotransmission and maintaining a balanced pH in the blood. CF(Rehydrate)® is an excellent source of concentrated electrolytes for medical-grade hydration.

CF(Rehydrate)® is a natural electrolyte replacement drink designed for medical-grade hydration. Free from artificial colors, flavors, and sugars, CF(Rehydrate)® delivers the electrolytes and essential hydration you need, without the harmful additives found in sports drinks and other hydration products. Adding CF(Rehydrate)® into your daily routine is a sure fire way to stay on top of your hydration needs.

Our Tips to Handle and Reduce Stress

As 2023 comes to a close and a new year is upon us, our to-do lists and things we want to accomplish next year may become daunting. Even thinking about all the work to come at the start of a new year can overwhelm us leading to stress. In order to feel our best, lose or maintain weight, and reduce risk for chronic diseases, we must learn ways to manage our stress. We know you have a lot on your plate and we are here to help. In today’s blog, we break down our top tips on handling stress.

What happens if I have too much stress?

Some stress is necessary and good. It keeps your brain and responses sharp. But, when stress becomes too frequent, something has to change. We know stress is a mental burden and can lead to anxiety and feeling overwhelmed, but that isn’t the only problem. Stress can also impact your physical health. If it occurs too frequently, it can lead to the development of chronic diseases, including cancer. Chronic stress is associated with inflammation and compromised immune function. If our body is constantly stressed, and we do nothing to manage it, there are negative repercussions. 

Tip #1 to Reduce Stress: Get more physical activity

Finding ways to move your body is crucial to managing stress. When deciding what type of movement is best for you, choose something that you genuinely enjoy and you can maintain on a consistent basis. If you are stressed, moving your body can help reduce stress and improve your mood. Regular exercise has been shown to improve mental health overall. Getting the right amount of movement is important because too much exercise can also lead to chronic stress if you aren’t properly recovering. Finding the perfect balance of exercise is different for everyone and is based on many factors, but try to aim for at least 30 minutes of movement per day to reduce stress and improve your mental health. 

Tip #2 to Reduce Stress: Eat a balanced diet

Fueling your body with a nutrient dense and well balanced diet can help reduce chronic stress. A research study found that consuming highly processed foods leads to higher stress levels in participants. In addition, if you are chronically stressed, you may tend to overeat. I am sure you have experienced this at some point in your life- maybe cramming for a final and snacking on an endless supply of m&m’s, or having a work proposal due and ordering way more Chinese food than you actually need? Though at the moment this may feel good, it leads to more problems down the road- especially if done consistently.

Switching to more nutrient dense foods will help you feel better and reduce overall stress. Try adding more fruits and vegetables to your diet and eliminating some processed foods. At CF Nutrition, we offer beverages that can help ensure you get your daily dose of vitamins and minerals. Check out our website if you are looking for ways to supplement your daily diet.

Tip #3 to Reduce Stress: Practice Self Care

We are all busy, especially this time of year. Taking time for yourself is necessary to manage and reduce stress. There are many ways to practice self care and finding what works best for you can be tough. Here is a list of some different ways to set aside time to take care of yourself:

  • Take a long walk
  • Journal your thoughts
  • Listen to a podcast
  • Take bath
  • Practice yoga
  • Make a healthy meal
  • Stretch before bed
  • Read a book
  • Take yourself out on a date

These are just a few of the many ways to practice self care. Whatever you choose, try to incorporate some form of self care into your schedule a few times a week. 

This time of year can be busy and lead to stress, so take action to manage your stress so you can feel your best walking into 2024!

End 2023 Feeling Your Best Our Top Tips to Stay Healthy

We know the holidays can be a busy time of year and sometimes we sacrifice our health leading up to the new year. But let’s change that this year. Don’t wait until the new year to start incorporating healthy choices into your daily routine. Today, we share our top tips on how to stay healthy this holiday season and kick start your new year goals early!

Tip 1 Add in Some Movement!

 Exercise is a proven way to support immunity. In addition, it will help you maintain a healthy weight. During the holiday season, make sure you alot time in your schedule to get moving, whether it be by yourself or with the whole family. Getting to the gym may be harder depending on your schedule so incorporate more walks and at home workouts. 

If you are traveling, it may be more difficult to stay focused on exercise. However, having ideas for maintaining your fitness beforehand will likely encourage you to stick to a more consistent schedule. Consider purchasing an apple watch or fit bit to help you stay on top of getting steps in daily. Set a daily target for movement goals and stick to them even while you are away. Maybe try and visit walking trails or hikes a few days of your trip as this is an easy way to stay active. 

No matter where you are, make sure to plan your exercise recovery accordingly by bringing an electrolyte beverage like CF(Rehydrate)® with you for post-workout recovery. 

Tip 2 Plan Ahead if you are Traveling

Like most things in life, a little bit of preplanning and forethought is often beneficial (if not necessary) for enabling plans to run smoothly. If you are visiting a big resort that includes meals, we suggest calling ahead to ensure healthy food and beverage items are available. The same protocol applies to any restaurants you plan to attend, especially if they are part of a preset itinerary where attendance is required. These suggestions are especially important if you have any specific dietary needs or restrictions, such as gluten intolerance or a dairy allergy. Most hotels and chefs will be more than happy to accommodate your needs. If they’re not, checking in beforehand will allow enough time to adjust your travel plans and go elsewhere, if needed.

If you’re traveling for pleasure and can eat wherever you want during your trip, consider browsing local restaurants and cafes that offer healthy menu items beforehand. Yelp, Happy Cow, and Google are all great resources for identifying restaurants that cater to specific dietary needs and specialty food preferences. While trying local cuisines can be a fun part of the travel experience, it may be helpful to eat at least one meal a day closer to your usual diet to avoid shocking your digestive tract. If you plan on arriving in a city early in the morning or late in the evening, you can also check out which restaurants can deliver directly to your hotel room and order on the way. Knowing where to order ahead of time can prevent getting overly hungry and making food choices out of convenience over health.

Tip 3 Increase Your Fiber Intake

Consuming enough fiber is crucial to regulating bowel function, weight, and blood glucose management and preventing certain diseases. Most Americans do not consume enough dietary fiber. On average, Americans consume about 15 grams of fiber per day, far lower than the RDA, regardless of age or gender. The best ways to increase fiber intake are choosing whole grains whenever possible, consuming legumes and beans, and increasing fruit and vegetable intake. Drinking CF(Protein)® can help support you in achieving the RDA for fiber, as it contains 13 grams per one 8 ounce bottle.

 Fiber may help reduce the risk of developing various diseases, including heart disease and diabetes. Studies show that the intake of fiber lowers the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) cross-sectional Data (2003-2006) showed that intake of whole grains (rich in fiber) was associated with enhancing the effects of statin in lower cholesterol. Fiber may also  help prevent constipation by regulating bowel movements. Constipation is a common gastrointestinal problem that many people experience. If you have chronic constipation, you may need to ramp up your fiber intake, and drinking CF(Protein)®, is an easy and effective way to do so. As always, if you have a chronic health issue, it is best to speak to your doctor for any specific recommendations.

Fiber can also help maintain a healthy weight. High fiber foods are typically more filling than lower fiber foods. They also help keep you feeling fuller for longer. Satiety is the term used to describe your fullness. Fiber increases satiety after a meal. If you are looking to lose weight, increasing your fiber intake may help by increasing satiety and preventing the intake of excess calories.

Now you have all the tips and tricks to stay healthy and finish 2023 strong, start adding in some healthy habits TODAY! Visit our website to learn more!

Why is Protein Important in my Diet?

Protein is one of the three macronutrients that is necessary to include in your daily diet. Despite recommendations from different FAD diets, you need all three macronutrients in order to maintain your health, energy, and fitness goals. Eliminating any of the three macronutrients puts you at risk for nutrient deficiencies and illnesses. 

What is the purpose of protein in my diet?

Protein has several important roles in our body. It helps you build muscle and helps you recover. It also helps repair your muscles and keeps you well nourished. 

How do I incorporate protein in my diet?

Not all protein is created equal. One easy tip when choosing a protein is to choose lean protein over breaded or fried. It is also best to limit red meat to once or twice a week. Although red meat serves as an excellent source of protein and iron, it is also high in saturated fat which can lead to high cholesterol. Another tip is to incorporate fish 2-3 times per week. Fish is a great source of lean protein and certain fish like salmon and tuna can provide omega-3. Omega-3 helps to raise the good cholesterol, HDL. 

It is also important to incorporate plant based meals when possible. One way to add plant based protein into your diet is with CF(Protein)®. CF(Protein)® has 13 grams of protein from pea protein. Pea protein contains all nine essential amino acids. It is easily digestible and has a pleasant taste and texture. Additionally, it is a good source of iron and other nutrients. Unlike other protein powders like whey, pea protein is not a derivative of milk so it can be consumed by those with allergies or following a specialty diet (vegan, vegetarian, paleo, etc.).

How much protein should I be eating?

The amount of protein you need is different based on many factors including, age, weight, height, activity level, among other things. To find out how much protein you need, we recommend speaking to your doctor or a trained professional. 

What are the recommended uses for CF(Protein)®?

CF(Protein)® is an excellent product to consume regardless of whether or not you have a surgery on the calendar. A rich source of plant-based protein, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds, this nutrient-dense drink provides a concentrated dose of healthy ingredients to fuel your day.

Some ingredient highlights include:

  1. Plant Protein: Our plant-based protein is easily digested, with yellow-pea protein contributing a significant dose of amino acids that promote muscle recovery and repair.
  2. Complex Carbohydrates: Complex carbohydrates derived from fruits allow CF(Protein)® to deliver a rich energy source without the use of cheap, low-quality additives and simple sugars found in most protein drinks.
  3. Healthy Fats: Functional fats from chia seed oil provides a healthy dose of essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids to help minimize inflammation and saturate the body with healthy fats.
  4. Electrolytes: Coconut water is an excellent source of essential hydration, supplying minerals and electrolytes to recover and revitalize from surgery, sports, or summer heat.

While CF(Protein)® is a great on-the-go snack or mealtime supplement for anyone, it may be particularly useful in supporting the nutritional status of certain people. 

At CF Nutrition, we recommend consuming 1-2 bottles of CF(Protein)® daily if you are:

  • An athlete (or particularly active individual)
  • Underweight or malnourished
  • Elderly
  • Recovering from illness or injury
  • Preparing for or recovering from surgery
  • Following a liquid diet
  • Traveling

Everything You Need To Know About the Potassium 

What is Potassium?

Potassium is an essential electrolyte that is key to healthy cell function. Like all nutrients, a healthy balance of daily potassium intake can help you feel and perform your best. The recommended daily intake of potassium is 3500-4700 mg. However, suggest consulting the FDA’s guidelines for specific recommended daily intake. 

Why is Potassium supplementation necessary?

Potassium losses through normal bodily functions, like sweating, must be replaced by the foods and beverages we consume. Foods like bananas and spinach provide an abundance of potassium. However, these foods take time to digest, and there are certain instances, as in the case of dehydration due to sports or illness, where fast replenishment of potassium is necessary. CF(Rehydrate)® provides 100 mg of potassium to help provide rapid rehydration. 

When you exercise, you lose a significant amount of vital fluids and key electrolytes. High concentrations of sodium and chloride, and low concentrations of potassium, magnesium and calcium are lost as you sweat. Rapidly replenishing these nutrients with a hydrating drink is essential for recovery.

What is the role of Potassium in the body?

Potassium is nearly ubiquitous in the body. This unique electrolyte plays a vital role in helping maintain adequate blood pressure. It is also essential in nerve function, allowing electrical signals to transmit messages. Thus, ensuring potassium intake can contribute widely to internal homeostasis and comprehensive health.

Why is CF(Rehydrate)® a good option to help replenish Potassium?

 CF(Rehydrate)® provides a concentrated source of potassium. The intentional formulation behind CF(Rehydrate)® replenishes lost fluids and essential electrolytes, including those lost quickly through sweat and illness. There are no artificial colors or flavors, so you don’t have to worry about mysterious additives and harmful ingredients. CF(Rehydrate)® also has an ideal combination of carbohydrates and sodium with less added sugar than traditional sports drinks, allowing your body to be gently nourished and intentionally refreshed by the convenience of a delicious drink.

 CF(Rehydrate)® is an excellent source of potassium when you need it most! Please click here for CF(Rehydrate)® detailed nutrition information & ingredient list.

Stay Hydrated This Spring With CF(Rehydrate)®

As the weather begins to heat up and the seasons change, staying hydrated becomes even more important. Water is essential to stay healthy and hydrated, but sometimes we need more than just water to feel our best. Today we break down how CF(Rehydrate)® can provide optimal hydration to have you feeling your very best this spring!

Why doesn’t water always cut it?

 In order to stay hydrated, an adequate balance of water and electrolytes is crucial. Electrolytes are minerals (sodium, potassium, magnesium, etc.) that are involved in an abundance of internal events, such as neurotransmission and maintaining a balanced pH in the blood. CF(Rehydrate)® is an excellent source of concentrated electrolytes for medical-grade hydration.

When do I need an electrolyte drink?

There are certain situations where we need more than just water to stay hydrated. Regardless of your age, gender, or activity level, we all depend on vitamins and minerals to help fuel our minds and bodies. What many people don’t understand is that electrolytes are simply a category of these vital minerals. A few examples include sodium, potassium, and magnesium. 

Situation 1: Exercise

Ever been drenched in sweat after pushing through a challenging workout? Well, sweat is more than just water. It’s full of electrolytes that are lost quickly through sweat all over your body. So, before, during and after an intensive workout or sporting event, CF(Rehydrate)® is beneficial for fast and effective recovery and hydration. 

Situation 2: When you are sick

When you catch a flu bug or bad case of food poisoning, your body quickly loses vast amounts of electrolytes and fluid through diarrhea, vomiting, or fever sweats. Therefore, replacing those electrolytes is of the utmost importance. CF(Rehydrate)® can help replace what is lost.

Situation 3: When you drink alcohol

Certain beverages, such as alcohol, are natural diuretics, meaning they draw water out of your bloodstream and into your gastrointestinal tract, resulting in dehydration. CF(Rehydrate)® can help you replace electrolytes lost from drinking and make you feel better after a night out. 

How do I recover from dehydration?

Water is an integral part of the rehydration process. However, timely consumption of a complete nutrition beverage with a range of electrolytes is crucial for a full recovery. Drinks that contain at least half of your daily value of key electrolytes is a good place to start. For example, CF(Rehydrate)® includes a minimum of 50% of the electrolytes, phosphorus, selenium, and sodium in a 32 oz bottle to ensure you get the fluid and nutrients you need, quickly. 

Now that you know there are certain times when it is crucial to consume an electrolyte replacement beverage, visit our website to shop for CF(Rehydrate)®.
