I travel a lot. I’m at airports, hotels, in the car and often in small towns and it’s hard to find food that I’m willing to eat.

Making healthier choices at fast food restaurants is easier if you prepare ahead by checking guides that show you the nutritional content of meal choices at your favorite restaurants.

You can also choose to patronize restaurants that focus on natural, high quality food.

If you don’t prepare ahead of time, common sense guidelines help to make your meal healthier. For example, a seemingly healthy salad can be a diet minefield when smothered in high-fat dressing and fried toppings, so choose a salad with fresh veggies, grilled toppings, and a lighter dressing. Portion control is also important, as many fast food restaurants serve enough food for several meals in the guise of a single serving.

If you are considering expanding operations outside of the United States, how are you planning on insuring it?

Kapnick is a proud member of Assurex Global and can deliver this if needed.
