Travel is fun. Travel is exciting. But it is not fun or exciting if you get sick. You may think,"Not me. I won't get sick on my vacation!"But , for many people, that is what happens.
Of course you do not want to spend your vacation sick in bed. If you have heart trouble, you do not want to make it worse. So what can you do to stay in good health? There are three things you should remember when you travel: relax,sleep, and eat well.
A vacation is supposed to be a time for relaxing. But very often it is not. Think about what you do when you are a tourist. There are so many places to visit:
museums,shops,parks and churches. You may spend most days walking around these places. This can be very
tiring. Your feet may hurt. You may have a terrible headache after a few hours. If this is the way you feel, you should take a rest. Do not ask your body to do too much. A tired body means a weak body. And a weak body gets sick easily. So sit down for a few hours in a nice spot. In good weather. look for a quiet park bench. Or you can stop at a cafe. you can learn a lot by watching people while you rest.
Sleep is also important. If you want to stay healthy you need to get enough sleep. you may have trouble sleeping at night when you travel. Your hotel room may be noisy or the bed may be uncomfortable. If this is true, do not be afraid to change rooms or hotels. Or, you may not get enough sleep for another reason. You may want to stay out late at night. In many cities the night life can be very exciting. Then you should plan to sleep for an hour during the day. That extra hour can make a big difference.
Finally, if you want to stay healthy, you must eat well. That means eating the right kinds of foods. Your body needs fresh fruits and vegetables, and some meat, milk or cheese. When you are in a new country, you may want to try new foods. But your need to be careful about how much you eat. Lots of rich food is not good for you.
So, remember this: if you want to enjoy your vacation, take good care of yourself. Give your body some rest. Get enough sleep and eat good, healthy food.
