insulated lunch bags for nurses image
Bronson
I'm planning on bringing a pop can to school tomorrow for lunch. I leave at 7 and eat at around 11:00. I want to bring a can of pop and keep it somewhat cold until lunch.
Are there any ways to do this without an insulated lunchbox or icy-hot bag? I know I have one and I could find one if I tried, but that's last resort, please.
Answer
Never Freeze a cola. The carbonated water will become carbolic acid. this by itself doesn't hurt and isn't poisonous, but it will react with the sweetener and become bitter beyond belief!
Three things:
1) if U can get some ice from somewhere (school kitchen, nurse) just bring a cup too.
2) if not the can, Ice packed in a ziplock bag wrapped in a towel, has the best chance.
3) find your Thermal bag.

Healthy, portable meals: that's the trick. You can learn about healthy
eating, and this is a life-long process, but it's more difficult to put all
that knowledge to work for you when your work is so rigorous. People
with 2 jobs have the same problem, and most of them don't have a
dietitian as a spouse. And I have listened to some dietitians whose
advice I disagree with.
Try this: Prepare a large batch of really good stew or soup or veggies
one day. (This works for single people, too). Have some of it right
away while it is still warm and yummy. Now get some of those little
fridge boxes with lids, and put away as many portions as you want
into your freezer, and leave a couple in the fridge to take for lunch or
have at tomorrow's supper.
You can't find out all the ingredients in restaurant-prepared food; usually
they can't figure it out, either. There's margarine/ trans-fat/ partially hydro-
genated oil; MSG; textured veg. protein; corn syrup; white vinegar. Then
there are a few other ingredients you might choose to eliminate from your
diet, either because they give you gas (nobody ELSE has this trouble,
you may think) or perhaps you have learned some new trick.
Get an insulated lunch bag/box, and buy a couple of those blue ice
blocks. They come in several sizes, so get a size that will fit in your
lunch box along with 1 or 2 food containers.
Cut some veggies into your favorite size, like you see at parties.
Cukes, celery, romaine lettuce; then there are those grape tomatoes
in bulk at Costco. You can store them separately in quart-size zip-
up plastic bags in the fridge. They don't take up too much space
that way. For your lunch box, divide out enough to eat for lunch
and one of your short work breaks. You can mix the veggies in
a sandwich baggie.
Cut up some fruit: apple slices, pear, banana, grapes, berries,
and then there are dried fruits you can get in bulk form: raisins,
apricots, prunes, cherries. Frozen fruits are fun, too.
Stop drinking sodas. Why? The carbonic acid leaches minerals
from your teeth and bones. Corn syrup is getting a really bad
rap. Sugar has no minerals; it actually pulls minerals out of
your body; then it causes your body to store fat; then you may
have the issue of Type 2 Diabetes. A friend of mine was losing
his eyesight. The MD challenged him to just make one change:
eliminate sodas with sugar. He switched to diet sodas. No
more problem. But I recommend you read up on Aspartame
and Splenda sweeteners. If you quit ALL sodas, you will be
way ahead on your Health Plan.
Avoid chlorinated and fluoridated tap water for drinking. Bring
your own bottled water. If you have filtered water at work
or the 5 gallon water dispenser, use that. A lot. Make your own
tea at home; look up recipes for something special, like chai tea
online. Sweeten it with Stevia extract (sweet leaf). We get that
at Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Sprouts, Sunflower markets; it's a
powder in a bulk bottle or paper envelope portions. Taste it first:
one type has a metallic after-taste, so don't waste your money
on that.
Check out Dr. Oz' website for inspiration and the result of lots
of research made practical. Expand your awareness about health.
You asked for it, now do it, and then start to enjoy it.
