How to Eat Healthy at the Airport – featuring Jonathan Valdez, NYSAND Media Spokesperson
Slide 9 – Sometimes it’s tough to get your hands on fruit and vegetables when running through airports and traveling many hours on planes–especially when traveling internationally. Jonathan Valdez, owner of Genki Nutrition and New York City and Long Island Media Spokesperson for the New York State Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics always looks for meals where are least half the plate is fruits and/or vegetables. You can also find to-go fresh items that are typically in baskets (by the grab-and-go kiosks that are found throughout airports). Depending on where you are going you may be able to swap out the high-fat/starch foods with healthier options. “If you pinch pennies like me, I want to be on the flight to eat my snacks or meals and opt-out on the free and undesirable tasting wine,” says Valdez.
