Don't worry too much about your little furbaby while you are gone. I am sure he will be just fine. Have a wonderful trip! But we will be in touch before you go! PAT! Do you have any "Traveling and Eating Healthy" tips for Kara?
Here's to Eating Healthy For Life! You're doing a great job, Kara! |
I think that I just posted something in the past week in regards to traveling and eating out.
I'm very proud of how good Kara has done with all that company and having to eat out so much. Good job, Kara!
The walking is very good for you also.
As far as eating in a foreign country, I'm sure Kara is already aware of it. I think she mentioned she'd been there before.
Tips for Staying Healthy in a Foreign Country
Avoid unwashed fruit and vegetables.
Avoid swimming in fresh water that could harbor disease.
Wash hands frequently.
Do not drink the tap water unless you know it is safe.
Be aware that ice cubes may be made with tap water.
Be cautious about dairy products.
A good "travel healthy" medicine kit for traveling in the United States or overseas includes:diarrhea, upset stomach, or heartburn remedies like Pepto-Bismol
constipation remedies like MetamucilŽ
decongestants/antihistamines
motion sickness remedies
antibacterial soap like SafeguardŽ
skin cream/antibiotic ointment (for cuts and scratches)
first aid supplies (bandages, gauze, adhesive tape)
sunscreen/suntan lotion
insect repellant
soothing, non-alcohol-based lotion (for insect bites and sunburn)
vitamins
thermometer
duplicate pair of eyeglasses
any prescription medicine that you are taking
