FRESH, HEART HEALTHY LUNCH IDEAS When you’re tired of packing the same old lunches every day, you may stray to the nearest drive through to pick up something quick and easy. However, it’s probably not best for your wallet, or your body, to keep up this habit. Here are a few fresh lunch ideas that just happen to be heart healthy in honour of heart month. • A “snackle” box - pack bits and pieces to graze on over the lunch hour. Aim for lots of fruit and vegetables, a protein and some healthy fats. For instance you can pack trail mix, cubed cheese, whole grain crackers, fresh vegetables and fruit. • Mini frittatas - make a batch and freeze them. The best part is they can be loaded with vegetables to increase their nutrition value. Round out your meal with a slice of whole grain bread and some fresh fruit. • Salad in a jar - start with your dressing (oil-based) at the bottom of the jar and then layer in any vegetables and proteins you desire. Some ideas include chickpeas, carrots, cubed chicken or beans. Top with lettuce. At lunch, shake it up to distribute the dressing and enjoy!

TIPS ON TRAVEL INSURANCE

It’s recommended that if you travel outside of Canada for any length of time that you purchase trip interruption and travel health insurance before you depart. Most insurance companies will offer these types of insurance, but you can also purchase it through travel agents, your credit card company, your bank or even your employer’s health insurance provider. Not all plans are equal, so research your options thoroughly so you can rest assured all of your needs will be covered. Travel health insurance should, at minimum, cover three things: medical evacuation, pre-existing medical conditions and repatriation. The Government of Canada has a section on their website about travelling abroad and more information on trip interruption and travel health insurance. Go to travel.gc.ca for details.
