Now more and more people would like to choose a road journey. They think it’s quite fun. But while traveling, you must take care of your health. The following advice may help you.

Carry enough water. Try not to get water from anywhere else. The water might be polluted with germs(细菌) that would make you feel ill. So do not forget to carry 4–5 liters(升) of water with you.

Try to carry home food like butter, sandwiches, popcorn and juice. It can help make you healthier than fast food.

Avoid(避免) full and heavy meals. Some people like a road journey just because they can stop and have lunch in roadside restaurants. Remember to choose restaurants that have healthy food.

If you are driving, try to eat at regular(定期) breaks every 3 to 4 hours. Staying hungry for several hours would make you feel ill. When you have driven for a few miles(英里), give some rest to your engine(引擎) and come out to move your body. This would make you ready for your next journey.

Traveling is one of the most important activities and people have been interested in it for many years. Modern traffic develops fast, so traveling to different places has become much easier and faster than before. Staying healthy while traveling can make your trip better. But do you know how to keep healthy during a trip? The following information may be useful to you.

◆Before leaving

Wear comfortable shoes, a hat and sunglasses.

Take some necessary medicine with you. They can be useful when you get sick or have other problems.

Do some exercise for weeks or months before you leave if you plan to do lots of walking or climbing during your trip.

Prepare proper food. Before you prepare the food, the first thing you need to think about is how long you will travel with the food. If you take a long trip, you should bring food such as bread, biscuits (饼干) and some fruit. They don’t go bad quickly. People can bring meat, fish, eggs, milk and even salads and vegetables on a short trip.

◆While traveling

Be sure not to eat dirty food or bad fruit.

Have enough time to take a rest during your trip.

Tap water (自来水) is not safe, so drink bottled water (瓶装水) and always clean the cover of the bottle.

Keep food in good condition. If you take hot food, you should try to keep it hot. For example, you can put it in heavy towels. If you need to keep cold food cold, you can put cold food in a box with ice. When you arrive, put cold food in the fridge (冰箱). Remember: If you travel with food, keep hot food hot and cold food cold.
