Living on the go sometimes means having to miss a day at the gym to prepare for that important meeting. It may also be the time spent running the kids from school to baseball practice without a moment in between. But, today's fast-paced lifestyle doesn't mean you have to abandon a healthy diet.

Everyone knows that eating right and exercising has enormous health benefits. But sticking to that lifestyle isn't as hard as you might think.

"About sixty to seventy-percent of the process of healthy living is due to food. It's important to eat copious amounts of colorful fresh vegetables and fruit and the reason is because that it helps reduce your caloric intake but it also helps you get the health benefits of the chemical compounds found in the pigments of those colors, which go a long way to ward of chronic disease," says Dr. Rovenia Brock, or Dr. Ro, a nutritionist and author of "Dr. Ro's Ten Secrets of Livin' Healthy."

 

To get these colorful vegetables and fruits on the go try eating salads for lunch. This way, you get those colorful vegetables and fruits in your diet and you can do it without even having to think about it. For a quick meal on a go grab a pre-packaged pre-washed cupfuls of fruits or nibble-sized veggies.
