No one likes to think about it — you\u2019re finally enjoying your vacation, but suddenly sickness strikes. Couple that with being in a foreign place, and your trip could turn stressful fast.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t panic! Illness doesn\u2019t have to ruin a great time. Here are some tips for staying healthy while traveling.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Research Your Destination
\n<\/strong>Depending on your upcoming locale, you might need to take certain precautions. Check the Centers for Disease Control<\/a> and the U.S. Department of State Travel<\/a> to learn more about international medical care, as well as helpful health-related dos and don\u2019ts. Stay informed about current outbreaks or water contamination issues at your destination. Sure, no one likes needles, but you might need immunizations before you jet. See your primary-care physician before your travels. You\u2019ll be happy you did.<\/p>\n

2. Pack Medications
\n<\/strong>Sure, you\u2019ll need to figure out which dresses and pairs of shoes you\u2019ll want to pack, but you have to worry about some other suitcase essentials. Namely, don\u2019t skimp on the medications. Bring a healthy stash of your prescriptions and over-the-counter medications to combat everything from cuts and allergies to motion sickness or heartburn. Some medicines considered commonplace in the U.S. aren\u2019t as easily accessible abroad. Take in the scenery \u2026 and don\u2019t worry about the ragweed.<\/p>\n

3. Imbibe and Indulge Modestly
\n<\/strong>Of course<\/em> a little more vino sounds like a marvelous idea! You\u2019re on vacation, after all. But don\u2019t overdo it — and guzzle some water while you\u2019re at it. Drinking plenty of liquids is one of the most basic ways to stave away illness. Besides, overindulgence can have some nasty effects. No one wants to deal with an angry stomach, poor sleep or mood swings while they\u2019re trying to catch up on some much-needed R&R. Unwind \u2013 don\u2019t unravel.<\/p>\n

4. Get Some Shut-Eye
\n<\/strong>The excitement of getting to a new place can be difficult to sleep. But as much as you might want to take in all the historic sites and shopping hotspots, you can\u2019t allow the stress of traveling to take its toll. Give your body a break and let it rest. Fight that jet lag with some good, old-fashioned sleep the first night of your trip. Your body and your mind will thank you.<\/p>\n

Enjoy your next trip without worrying about catching a cold or dealing with fatigue. Follow these handy rules, and you\u2019ll be healthy and energized enough for anything.<\/p>\n
