Planning a nice vacation? Heading to Mexico or overseas?
The Health Briefs TV show shares tips for healthy travel. Because no one wants
to get sick away from home.
Basic sanitary measures are needed everywhere we go no
matter if it is in the next city or across the ocean to another continent.
Carry a packet or two of sanitary wipes or a few tubes of
gel to clean hands when in public places such as airplanes, rest rooms or hotel
rooms. Drink bottled water only. Avoid tap water when overseas. Wear protective
clothing if going outdoors where mosquitoes are prevalent such as in some
African countries. Get the recommended vaccines or prescriptions before leaving
your country of origin.
There are studies available which note that many Americans
who travel abroad don’t get vaccinations as a precaution. The Health Briefs television show reminds readers that every step taken to be and stay healthy on
vacation should be on travelers’ agendas. From the food and water consumed to
knowing what health concerns are common at destinations, know before you go.
