road food and inactivity

Hey all, I used to train people as a body builder back in the day. I learned more about health and body chemistry from body builders than anyone else, and as a driver now I know that because we sit for long periods and don't really exert in the sweating kind of way it's all the more important to watch your fat and empty carb intake. I know it's hard esp. while on the road since the truckstops still have their heads up their keesters but try to eat salads and whole grain sandwiches, Flying J has them, Pilot and the others like TA are still just junk food mostly, but even McD's and Arby's have salads like Steak and Shake too, don't forget to get a bottle of whole food organic vitamins and a real deal protein drink and a good protein bar like MetRx. You need to supply your body with the right mix of proteins, vitamins and other nutrients so it can fight off the fats and other crap in the food we eat and still feed your brain and cardio system, don't forget - roughage!! Keep the lower unit clear and you won't feel bad....so long from the original florida kid( I write about health every week in my blog...

 Thank you for joining the Trucker Health dicussions. I hear many complaints from truckers about having to lump trailers. Proper diet and simple exerces make unloading much easier; even fun. The thing that most people don't realize is; the healthier your diet, the easier it is to stay fit.
