How To Leave Behind Illness On Vacations
By:Wilson Roy

Vacations are a great way to leave behind the tensions and worries of everyday life. However, there are certain things that are beyond your control that have the capacity to ruin even the most wonderful of holiday plans. Illness is one of those things. With some precautions and planning, one can decrease the chances of falling ill or catching an infection during a vacation.

Washing your hands regularly and getting enough sleep and rest are the basic pre-requisites for staying healthy especially when you're away from home. Foreign locations, with new circumstances and environment, demand a healthy and vigilant you to fight off unwanted bacteria and infections. The food and air of foreign locations are new for our body systems, hence one need not to be tired or sleep-deprived as one is more likely to fall prey to illnesses under such circumstances. Another way to fight back diseases is by taking supplements to boost up your immune system. Add the intake of multivitamins and multi-minerals to your daily diet from at least two weeks before your travel and of course during your vacation. The immune boost needed to face the rough and tumble of travel in a healthy manner is provided by these supplements. Ensure that the food and supplements you start taking before your vacations provide you with enough good bacteria for a great immune system and excellent overall health.

Do find out about the prevailing illnesses in the area you plan to visit. Pay a visit to your doctor well in advance to get vaccinated against that particular disease or infection or at least get written the symptoms and prescriptions. Apart from going through the current health alerts in your destination, also find out about any weather-related health issue that you are likely to face in that country or state. Along with the prescribed medicines, also carry along several over the counter medicines that are needed for general issues like headache, common cold or fever. When traveling out of country, do not leave before getting a good travel health insurance for yourself. Make sure it covers medical care and evacuation in case you fall ill during your vacations. It would be wiser to purchase a policy from a third party rather than your cruise operator or airline. Carrying a travel medical kit, choosing food and drinks carefully, avoiding contact with animals and insects and washing hands often are just few of the precautions to be taken on a vacation ensures that your vacation is fun, lively and healthy!
