Many people dream about
spending vacations overseas. Whatever beautiful the place can be, it
would mean nothing if travelers are not in the greatest shape. The
excitement, stress and other factors about the travel itself can
cause sickness. But if they take some precautions, there is a big
chance their trip will be the most enjoyable.
Prevention of Diseases
and Jet Lag
First of all, at least a
month before the trip and when the destination is defined, the
traveler should consult a medical travel specialist to
get consultation and vaccines specific to the destination's
requirements. Then, they also should think about bringing first
aid and medical kit. After that, jet lag often causes some
health problems such as insomnia. Crossing time zones has impact on
the internal body clock. To solve that, travelers from west to east
can try to keep themselves out of the sun until the next sunrise
after their arrival while travelers from east to west can only take a
walk or a short jog upon their arrival. They have to drink
plenty of water to avoid upset stomach and dehydratation.
