Simple tips to stay healthy while traveling

The April 30 and May 1 holidays last for 4 days. If you are traveling, keep in mind the following tips to have a perfect holiday.

Health check before travel

When visiting the doctor, you need to clearly state the purpose, time and form of travel to get the best advice.

In addition, pre-travel health check-ups also help doctors detect cardiovascular, respiratory, bone and joint diseases... If you have these diseases, doctors will advise you to treat them or take medicine before traveling.

Especially for young children and long-distance travel, a pre-departure health check-up will be helpful in making appropriate preparations. The doctor will also provide necessary warnings for parents to proactively prevent.

Eat and drink in moderation and hygienically.

Eat hygienically

Traveling is a time when you allow yourself to be "free", but try to eat in moderation to avoid digestive disorders.

You should limit raw, undercooked or strange foods. Try to maintain the best hygiene possible by choosing restaurants that ensure food safety and hygiene, washing your hands before eating, ...

Limit ice, beer, alcohol

In addition to causing a cold sore in your throat, ice can also be a food safety hazard. Be careful. It is best to use boiled water.

You should also limit beer and alcohol. Your trip will be more complete if you stop drinking alcohol at the right time. This will help you avoid the risk of dehydration, fatigue, even drunkenness or other accidents if you use too much.

Be careful of the heat

Be careful with the heat

The sun's rays can damage your skin and cause cancer. Protect your eyes by wearing sunglasses to block UV rays. Wear a wide-brimmed hat to protect your face and head. Also, avoid going out between 11am and 3pm. This is when the sun is at its hottest. The best way to regulate your body temperature is to stay indoors and drink plenty of water.

Stay away from insects and strange animals

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.

Find out about medical care at your destination

No matter how well you prepare, you never know what might happen. So before you go, find out about medical facilities in your destination, especially near your hotel. If something goes wrong and you can’t handle it yourself, go to the nearest medical facility.
