When you go on a trip, it's easier to get sick because your body isn't used to the food, water, and air in a new environment. Here are some tips on keeping your travel experience as healthy as possible.

    Have safe foods and drinks.

    So what foods are safe to eat? Any boiled food, fresh fruit and vegetables are safe for you. Peel(剥) the fruit before eating. You should try to drink only bottled (瓶装的) water when traveling. If you need to use tap water (自来水), you should boil it first.

Take some medicines.

You should also put some medicines in your bags, because they may be hard to find in another country. It's a good idea to always carry your medical history with you. This helps doctors well, and you won't have to worry about forgetting important information.

    Basic Safety

    You'll need to reset your thinking when it comes to traffic safety. The rules of the road aren't the same as they are at home. In some countries, people drive on the left side of the road, and you'll need to be careful before you cross the street. Be sure there are no cars coming when you step into the street: If there are, they may not stop for you!

    Everyone knows that exercise is important. We all need to exercise. There are many ways to exercise. You can walk, run, swim, skate, or play ball games, but you should remember to exercise in the right ways.

        ①    Before you do any exercise, make sure to warm up for at least five minutes. During warming up, you should extend all parts of your body.

        ②      It's best to exercise twice each week. Thirty minutes each time is enough. Try all kinds of things until you find one, two or even three sports that feel right for you.

        ③    There are a lot of equipments (设备) at fitness centers. The equipments will help exercise your arms, legs and other parts of your body to make you fit. Some people buy equipments for their homes. But it is very expensive.

        ④     If you get hurt when you are doing exercise, don't play again until you are well.

    "Didn't you have your wish to control the weather? "God asked again. "Yes, but I just can't understand it. How could it be?" Joe wondered. "That's because you never asked for wind, rainstorm, snow or anything that could make the roots stronger. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}"
