During the holiday period from April 30 to May 1, which lasts for five days, it is common for families and groups of friends to choose to travel and take a break. However, changes in eating habits and mealtimes while traveling can cause digestive issues. To prevent gastrointestinal problems when traveling, there are several things that travelers should keep in mind.
Firstly, eating unhygienic food at restaurants that do not follow food safety standards can lead to the spread of bacteria and toxins, causing digestive problems. Dr. Vu Truong Khanh, Head of the Department of Gastroenterology at Tam Anh General Hospital in Hanoi recommends choosing restaurants that prioritize food hygiene and safety.
Secondly, new and unfamiliar foods can result in allergies, which can cause digestive issues. Travelers should avoid dishes that may cause allergies and stick to familiar and safe options.
Thirdly, not drinking enough water can lead to dehydration, especially while traveling in hot weather or consuming alcoholic beverages. Dehydration can cause digestive issues such as constipation, bloating, and indigestion.
Fourthly, not maintaining a balanced diet while away from home can disrupt the nutritional balance of food groups. Consuming excessive amounts of meat, sweets, and greasy fried foods can lead to bloating, indigestion, and constipation.
