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.

The Art of Harmonizing Nutrition, Hydration, and Exercise

While nutrition and hydration often take center stage on our platform, today, our focus shifts to the integration of these elements with exercise. Achieving optimal synergy between nutrition, hydration, and exercise is pivotal for maximizing performance and reaping the full benefits of physical activity. CF Nutrition’s products are designed to help you, alongside physical activity to truly optimize your well being.

Nutrition and Exercise: A Symbiotic Relationship
 Nutrition and exercise exert a profound influence on the other. Proper nutrition serves as the fuel that powers physical exertion, enabling individuals to perform at their peak. Conversely, exercise impacts the body’s nutritional needs, necessitating strategic dietary adjustments to support enhanced performance and recovery.

Hydration’s Role in Exercise
Adequate hydration is crucial for sustaining optimal physical performance. Water is the body’s primary component, and its consumption is vital for regulating body temperature, lubricating joints, and facilitating nutrient transport. During exercise, the body’s demand for hydration escalates, underscoring the need for strategic fluid intake to avert dehydration and sustain peak performance. When exercising, water is often not enough based on your body’s losses during exercise. CF(Rehydrate)® effectively replenishes electrolytes and is an excellent source of hydration. 

Strategies for Harmonizing Nutrition, Hydration, and Exercise

  • Pre-Workout Nutrition:
    • Consume a balanced meal comprising carbohydrates, lean protein, and healthy fats approximately 2-3 hours before exercise to provide sustained energy.
    • Opt for easily digestible snacks, such as a banana or yogurt, 30-60 minutes before a workout to fuel shorter bouts of exercise.
  • Hydration Pre-Exercise:
    • Drink 16-20 ounces of water 2-3 hours before exercise.
    • Consume an additional 8-10 ounces of water or CF(Rehydrate)® 10-20 minutes before commencing physical activity.
  • During Exercise:
    • Maintain hydration by sipping water at regular intervals, aiming for 7-10 ounces every 10-20 minutes during exercise.
    • For prolonged or intense workouts, drink CF(Rehydrate)® to sustain optimal performance.
  • Post-Workout Nutrition:
    • Consume a combination of carbohydrates and protein within 45 minutes of completing exercise to replenish glycogen stores and facilitate muscle recovery.
    • Opt for nutrient-dense foods to support the body’s repair and recovery processes.
  • Hydration Post-Exercise:
    • Rehydrate by consuming CF(Rehydrate)® to compensate for electrolytes lost during exercise to restore fluid balance.

By strategically aligning dietary choices and fluid intake with physical activity, you can optimize your performance, expedite recovery, and fortify their overall well-being. In conclusion, the harmonization of nutrition, hydration, and exercise is a cornerstone of holistic health and fitness. By embracing a comprehensive approach that integrates these elements seamlessly, individuals can unlock their full potential and embark on a journey of enhanced vitality and physical prowess.

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.

Now you have 3 key habits to incorporate to feel your best all year long. Visit our website to learn more about how to stay healthy this year!

What is the difference between CF(Rehydrate) and CF(Rehydrate) Immunity+?

CF(Rehydrate)® and CF(Rehydrate)® Immunity+ are similar in formulations but CF(Rehydrate)® Immunity+ formula contains an additional dose of Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Magnesium & Zinc to support customers’ immune health. 

Here is the break down per 12 ounce serving:

    • CF(Rehydrate)® Immunity+ contains 25% DV 
  • Magnesium:
    • CF(Rehydrate)® contains 4% DV 
    • CF(Rehydrate)® Immunity+ contains 10%

What makes CF Nutrition products better than traditional sport drinks?

There are various reasons that CF(Rehydrate)® and CF (Rehydrate)® Immunity+ are the superior products when compared  to other hydration drinks. 

Efficient Recovery 

The intentional formulation behind both CF(Rehydrate)® and CF(Rehydrate)® Immunity+ replenishes lost fluids and essential electrolytes, including those lost quickly through sweat and illness.  CF(Rehydrate)® and CF(Rehydrate)® Immunity+also has an ideal combination of carbohydrates and sodium to help you recover quicker. 

No Artificial Colors or Flavors

There are no artificial colors or flavors, so you don’t have to worry about mysterious additives and harmful ingredients. There are also artificial sweeteners and sugars in traditional  zero or low-calorie versions. Some individuals may find these ingredients challenging to digest and can experience gastrointestinal distress after consumption. CF(Rehydrate)® and CF (Rehydrate)® Immunity+ are lightly sweetened with stevia rebaudiana and natural flavors.

Less Added Sugar (By A Lot)

Traditional sports drinks have over 20 grams of added sugar while CF(Rehydrate)® and CF(Rehydrate)® Immunity+ have less than 1 gram per serving.  The best part is they actually taste delicious and refreshing. The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends limiting added sugar to 100 calories per day which equals 24 grams or six teaspoons. Given this information, drinking one 12 ounce bottle of a traditional sports drink would almost equal the recommended amount of added sugar for the entire day.

On average, Americans consume much more added sugar than is recommended. The average sugar consumed per day by Americans is 22 teaspoons. Much of this sugar comes from sugar-sweetened beverages (like sports drinks). The AHA recommends cutting back on sugar to help slow the obesity and heart disease epidemics. Added sugar does not have any nutritional need or benefit. For optimal health, we should avoid products with a lot of added sugar. Consuming added sugar can also lead to developing diabetes.  Although traditional sports drinks may effectively quench thirst, the amount of added sugar may cause more harm than good. 

Vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes to supports immune system

CF(Rehydrate)® and CF(Rehydrate)® Immunity+ contain essential minerals (Zinc, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Selenium) while traditional sports drinks do not. These minerals help achieve optimal health and may strengthen immunity.

While most sports drink formulations contain sodium and potassium, they often do not include additional electrolytes such as Magnesium, Selenium, and Phosphorus. CF(Rehydrate)® and CF(Rehydrate)® Immunity+  both contain significant amounts of all of these electrolytes. 

Now that you know CF Nutrition offers the best options for sport drinks, visit our website to purchase CF(Rehydrate)® or CF(Rehydrate)® Immunity+.
