How to Stay Healthy While Traveling

Some health-related things should be taken care of while traveling.

Traveling changes the environment. There are some shocks on the body. Not only in the context of a pandemic, but at all times during travel, certain health-related matters should be taken care of. Otherwise, instead of making your mind satisfied while traveling, you may unknowingly put extra stress on your body and mind.

Food and water

It is no longer possible to carry food or water from home when traveling. But as a health-conscious person, some things must be taken care of-

One should not be too eager to drink water from a spring, lake, sea, or any other source.

Avoid taking extra salty or spicy food. It is better not to eat too much food that you are not used to. That is, different types of cooking can only be tasted or eaten sparingly. Junk food, no matter how delicious, is best avoided. It's a misconception that short trips won't do much harm if they aren't followed.

It is better not to eat full before the journey.

Keep some dry food and water with you when going to remote areas. Even if you carry a small amount of food, make sure that it has enough calories and nutrients. You can keep dates, sweet biscuits can also be kept. In the case of diabetic patients keep some extra food as per their requirement.

Take care of the need

Many need to take medication regularly. Some medications are daily, some are weekly. Some are needed again occasionally. Many need tablets, capsules, inhalers, or insulin. Keep these medicines with you. Some medicines (eg insulin) need to be kept at a certain temperature. It must be arranged. Even if you go outside the country, it is better to keep the medicine with you and take the doctor's prescription with you when you go out of the country.

Have a nice trip

Keep a first aid kit with you.

It is better to keep an extra mask with it. It seems that there is no need to say how many masks are needed for protection from germs and dust. Do not throw the mask anywhere.

Follow all hygiene rules including regular hand washing, sneezing and coughing etiquette, and not spitting anywhere. Complete the recommended dose of the coronavirus vaccine.

It is better not to go to places where there are too many people.

You have to open the mask while eating. At least make sure to sit at a certain distance from other people outside your family. If possible, instead of eating hotel food at home, take it to your own room or somewhere far away.

Ensure cleanliness of residential hotel rooms. It is better to choose a room with light and air.

When there is an outbreak of mosquito-borne diseases, such as malaria-carrying mosquitoes in the mountainous regions of Bangladesh, take some special measures to avoid mosquito bites. Full-sleeved clothing will provide some protection from mosquito bites. Also, use mosquito repellent. But before giving such material to children, know whether it is suitable for children or not. Some products are risky to use before the age of three.

The tendency to move around a lot in a short period of time is not good because it puts a lot of stress on the body. Don't think that ''s because everyone is taking pictures at such and such a place, I must go there too.

Don't risk your life and well-being in the hope of seeing the rare beauty of an extremely remote area. Be careful when entering the bush. Be sure to follow local guidelines while traveling.

Don't forget to take care of your mind while traveling. Spend time with laughter. Don't give in to depression. Give busyness a break. Spend less time on social media, and if possible take a 'vacation' from social media. Spend time with close people. My mind will be good.

Make sure you don't litter or damage the environment while traveling.

If there is a problem

Some suffer from vomiting-related problems during the journey. You can take medicine to prevent this problem. Those who have this problem should avoid activities like reading books and looking at the phone screen during the journey. Rather than that, you can see the distant scenery. You can take alternative transportation. For example, you can travel by train instead of the bus.

If you have any health-related problems while traveling, you must go to the nearest medical center. Try to relieve the suffering of the patient with first aid and deal with sudden danger.
