Energy

Great question! By removing unhealthy foods from the diet – foods such as refined and artificial sugar, processed foods and most animal-based foods – and increasing whole, plant-based foods I gained more energy, felt better and reached a healthy weight. Eating nutrient-dense real food also greatly decreased the stress on my body in terms of digestion and inflammation. And enjoying some good quality dark chocolate once in awhile helped, too.

I would recommend making regular stops to rest and sleep. Also eating whole, fiber-rich foods (as opposed to highly processed foods) will give you slow and steady energy throughout the trip rather than short bursts of energy followed by a crash (of energy, not your car).
