locals. It is important to maintain a balanced diet while traveling, eating
vegetables, meats, dairy and plenty of water. When we travel we do much more
exercise than we realize, we walk, we went out walking all day, even more
travelers to the finger, spent many hours in the sun or in
Those unable to maintain such a diet should include more protein (beans, lentils), fruits provide vitamins that are stripped and it is important to maintain a good intake of grains and cereals.
Water is another important factor, is necessary and always making sure to
consume plenty of it is potable (usually enough to boil water if we do not have
time or ability to heat water is to carry water purification tablets). It is
very likely that if we are not careful with the water end up with a box of
diarrhea. To avoid dehydration box can pay attention to details such as: lack of urination, dark urine and lack of sweating when doing physical activity. We also pay attention to body temperature, pulse and respiratory rate for outside the normal range are indicative of disease.
When faced with an illness or go to a doctor for help among the locals, in an embassy or hotel.
