9 health tips you can't miss when traveling
(Baonghean.vn) - To have a perfect trip, ensuring good health is an important and necessary factor. Below are some necessary notes to help you maintain your health while traveling.
 |
| 1. Limit alcohol:Traveling is often an occasion for you to use stimulants “indiscriminately”. Drinking too much alcohol will dehydrate your body, causing you to have a shallow sleep and wake up feeling lethargic. Remember, you are traveling to relax and enjoy the scenery, not to “lie in bed”. |
 |
| 2. Wash your hands regularly:Germs can be prevented by washing your hands with soap regularly. Do this every time you return to your hotel after a trip. You may not always have access to washing your hands. Therefore, it is very necessary to prepare extra packs of wet wipes to clean your hands. |
 |
3. Drink boiled water:Dirty water is the cause of diseases such as stomachache, diarrhea... Traveling means you will explore new lands but also have to accept what you are experiencing. It will be difficult to check the cleanliness of water just by the naked eye or smell. Therefore, always use boiled water at the place you are staying. |
 |
| 4. Limit ice:Even where you live, ice is always a food safety issue. Therefore, limit its use if you are in a strange place. |
 |
| 5. Wash vegetables and fruits:Wash them in cooled boiled water with a little salt and peel them before using. Many tourists often have the habit of eating the skin, however, when in a strange place like when traveling, you should postpone that hobby for your own safety and the joy of the whole group. |
 |
| 6. Always eat cooked and hygienic food:Limit raw, undercooked or strange foods at the places you are experiencing if your stomach is not really good. Always eat cooked and carefully prepared foods, ensuring hygiene. If you like to eat buffet, be at the venue as soon as possible because leaving it for too long will not ensure the hygiene of the party dishes. |
 |
| 7. Stay away from insects and animals where you go:There is no reason to get close to these animals without protective gear, no matter how cute they are. Their bites, stings… can get you in trouble. |
 |
| 8. Bring medicine and first aid kit:Stomach pain medicine, oresol are very important when you are dehydrated due to: diarrhea, vomiting, excessive sweating; Ginger tea has the effect of relieving colds, raising blood pressure (when blood pressure drops), preventing colds; pain relievers; plasters, essential oils, hydrogen peroxide or red medicine; an emergency cold compress for fever, sprains, dislocations, burns, or to stop bleeding and cotton, gauze, antiseptic alcohol. |
 |
| 9. Should pocket a first aid book:Not everyone is proficient in first aid for road accidents. Moreover, when something happens, you are in a panic and doing the wrong first aid can be worse than doing nothing. |
