New international standards on ready-to-eat foods including dehydrated fruits, fresh vegetables and, er, pre-packed frog’s legs, are to be set by the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation. They aim to harmonise global hygiene codes of practice and shelf life times to bring down food contamination rates. Why not avoid scary ready-to-eat food illnesses dehydrating your own fruit? Dietician Joanne Mainwaring says, “Here are my top dehydrated fruit snacks for walking.”

Pineapple: high in calories and carbs, and particularly good for long distance walks and high-intensity uphill slogs

Dates: high in fibre and good for endurance and digestion, the perfect detox aid for a Sunday afternoon walk

Apricots: an excellent source of iron, especially for veggie walkers, to help your red blood and boost your overall fitness

Figs: a great source of calcium for bone-strengthening on a weight-bearing exercise like walking

Apple and mango: much better than a mars bar, these are low in fat and packed with vitamins, minerals and provide good sources of fibre
