Things are looking for the airport dinner!
Gone are the days of a limited selection of faces and disappointing food options. By appointing its 10 main US airports for food and drink this month, Food & Wine said the tariff in the land of the tail “has changed the pragmatic to the tasty.”
With more options than ever, it is important to choose wisely.
The last thing you want to do is eat a mediocre meal and then get into a metal tube with wings for several hours.
That is why the post had three nutrition experts in the New York area revealed the secrets to health and sail safely through the airport food court. These five types of food and cases will simply not fly.
Alcohol
The whiskey is risky. Airlines have the right to reject passengers who drink too much at the airport. Let’s say it arrives at the plane: do you want to spend the sick flight on a compact knot?
And even small amounts of alcohol can cause dehydration and increased urination.
“I do not recommend drinking alcohol before a flight, he did not eat too much,” Stephanie Schiff told The Post, a dietary nutritionist recorded at Northwell Huntington hospital.
“The air in the plans is very dry and can contribute to dehydration, which can be exacerbated drinking alcohol,” he added. “Dehydration can cause headaches, fatigue and nonsense.”
Drinks with caffeine
Bad news, beer fans. Caffeine is also a diuretic.
“While many travelers arrive at the private sleep airport, caffeine intake is not exempt from consequence,” said Sharon Puello, dietitian and nutritionist recorded at NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi.
“Not only can you send you more to the bathroom, depending on the individual, but it can also lead to a drowsiness of rebound, affecting the energy levels of one once they land and are eager to enjoy their stay.”
That is why Schiff opts for decaffeinated, with restrictions.
She only buys coffee from the main retail chains where she trusts food security practices.
“I have the baristas or servers placed milk in my coffee behind the counter,” Schiff said. “I don’t use milk or cream in open containers at the front, they can have bones sitting there for a while.”
Source drinks
“The greatest risk of bacterial incion if the beverage dispenser has not cleaned the Persuly leg, in addition to added sugar, it is not worth the momentary enjoyment,” Puello said.
Schiff noted that soft drinks and other carbonated cases can also cause swelling, which increases the trip of discomfort.
Both prefer bottled drinks: tea or icy juice for vitamins) because they are packaged in sealed sanitary containers.
Beans
If you cannot bear the pressure, Schiff also recommends avoiding beans and cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower.
“These foods can cause swelling, which can be worse when it flies due to changes in air pressure,” he said. “You don’t want to deal with that on a plane, so avoid those bean burritos.”
Pre -aged and self -service foods
Many airport vendors sell salads and pre -hubs of grip.
That is a non-log for Schiff.
“Although I love salads and cut the fruit when I am at home, I do not buy them at airports,” he explained. “I don’t know if they have been washed or handled with a leg, and can contract diseases such as E.Coli or Norovirus.”
Also in its air exclusion list: airport buffets because hot foods are or not hot enough to kill bacteria. As for Sushi, “I prefer not to take into account.”
The growth of bacteria must quickly between 40 degrees Fahrenheit and 140 degrees Fahrenheit, a range known as the “danger zone”.
Samantha Dieras, registered dietitian and director of outpatient nutrition services at the Mount Sinai hospital, suggests looking for expiration dates in pre -denyed food to ensure that it is inside the window.
Perishable foods should be consumed within two hours that they leave the safe temperature zone, analyzes reported.
“After that, Timframe, bacteria can grow,” he said. “For example, if you buy a yogurt, eat in two hours. If you plan to stock up for a six -hour flight and wait until the 4 hour, you are at risk of developing a food transmitted disease.”
What to consume at airports
Water is essential. Schiff points out that it can bring an empty water bottle and fill it inside the airport after going through safety.
Puerello suggests carrying portions of a single service of its favorite electrolyte dust to add airport water.
Puello, in terms of food, prefers stable snacks such as RX and friendly bars, chocolate -covered nuts, a mixture of trails and hard cheeses such as Cheddar, provolone and Swiss packaged with cookies or nuts.
“Each of these options is satisfactory and unlikely to let you feel or hurry to the bathroom,” he said.
If that does not sound appetizing, you can always bring solid foods such as sandwiches and snacks through safety.
“In this way, you can eat what you want, you know it is safe and you don’t have to deal with high airport prices,” Schiff said.
