雙語閱讀:旅行時也要保持健康

Sunshine 'helps to keep you young'

The National Day holiday is a time for trips. Many people go to travel agencies and ask them arrange itineraries, so that people don't have to spend much time and energy working out travel details. Yet despite how meticulous travel agents may be, there are always some things people need to look after themselves to ensure a pleasant and safe journey. For your reference, here are some things you should consider before traveling:
What diseases to look out for
While China covers a vast geographic area, with various mountains and rivers, these grand landscapes are not suitable for all people. High altitudes, cold sea water and pollen can prevent certain groups of people to visiting these areas. People with acute otitis media (inflammation of the middle ear), coronary heart disease, angina and seriously high or low blood pressure as well as pregnant women are advised to stay away from high mountains, because high altitude sickness could pose a serious physical challenge to these people.
Those with rheumatism, diabetes, chest pains and overactive thyroid glands are strongly advised to stay away from seaside. In autumn, the seaside temperature is lower than land temperature on average. This an the combination of high humidity and abundant sodium ions in the air will aggravate the health of these people and lead to contraction of the alleged "seaside exposure syndrome".
Autumn is also a season of high occurrences of pollen, so people allergic to pollen should avoid going out too much, especially on windy days. When going out, those allergic to pollens should take some allergy medicine before going out.

What clothes to wear
Loose and light clothing are preferred to tight and heavy clothes. Jeans, T-shirts and a wind-proof jacket constitute a perfect outfit for ordinary outing.
If you don't want to end up wearing the same clothes all the time, then pack several cotton T-shirts, both long sleeves and short sleeves. In addition, always take more than one pair of socks with you in case that you may step into water and have no spare socks to replace the wet ones.
Wear bright color clothes. There are three reasons: people wearing bright colored clothes often appear nicer in photos； when mingling with other tourists, bright clothes make people easily identifiable； and bright colors cheer people up.
What food to eat
Chocolate is a perfect food to carry along on the road. It tastes good and can boost energy supplies instantly, preventing low blood sugar levels. Beef jerky is also a nice choice. The salted preserved beef is always good to boost the muscles.
Apart from these little snacks, people should also eat full balanced meals. Although they may need more time to fit eating into their schedules, it's necessary for people to eat at least one big meal each day to keep healthy. Meals should contain sufficient fat, protein and vitamins.
Also, some scenic spots may sell local foods. Take a reserved attitude towards this kind of food. If you feel they don't appeal to your appetite, then say no to avoid unnecessary allergies or diarrhea.
Take care of your kids

Many parents take their kids with them when they go travel. In this case, parents need to bear in mind that children are more likely to have carsickness than adults.
To help kids overcome carsickness, parents need to pay attention to the following things: Don't let kids eat too much or too greasy. Don't let them starve either. Instead feed them with healthy snacks like fruit. Before getting on board a plane or car, put a slice of ginger on your child's bellybutton, to counter carsickness. Some children do better when sitting in the front passenger seat or a window seat in the back. for ventilation. For those suffering from serious carsickness, parents need to feed them counter-sickness medicine following doctors' pres criptions

旅行時也要保持健康

國慶節假期是旅行的時候。很多人讓旅行社安排行程，以節省時間和精力去處理旅行中的一些細節問題。不管旅行社是多麼細心周到，你仍需要注意一些問題，以確保旅行的安全和愉快。以下幾點希望能給您以參考。



堤防什麼樣的疾病
中國地域遼闊，有着各種各樣的山脈和河流。但是，並非每一個人都適合去這些景區遊玩。高緯度，冰冷的海水和花粉可能去阻止一些人去這些地方。我建議患有急性中耳炎，冠心病，咽喉痛或嚴重的高低血壓的人不要去山區旅行。高原反應會對這類人羣的身體健康造成威脅。




我還強烈建議那些患有風溼病，糖尿病，胸痛，嚴重甲狀腺的人不要去海邊。秋季，海邊的平均溫度低於陸地平均溫度。而且，海邊空氣溼度大，鈉離子豐富。這都會使這羣人的病情惡化，還可能患上所謂的海邊綜合症。




秋季還是花粉高發期，因此，對花粉過敏的人應儘量少出門，特別是在有風的日子。如果要出門，在出去前，服用一些防過敏的藥物。


穿什麼樣的衣服
選擇寬鬆輕薄的衣服。牛仔，T恤衫和防風夾克是日常行裝的完美組合。

如果不想總是穿同樣的衣服，可以帶幾件棉質T恤衫，可長可短。另外，要隨身攜帶一雙襪子，以防踏入水坑，沒有替換品。


要穿亮色的衣服，理由有三：穿亮色的衣服照相時，會顯得更漂亮；同其他遊客混在一起時，更加容易辨別；鮮亮的衣服能振奮人的精神。


吃什麼樣的食物
巧克力是一種最適合路上攜帶的小食品。口感不錯，而且能夠隨時補充能量。牛肉乾也是一種不錯的選擇。用鹽醃製的牛肉乾對有助於拉伸肌肉。


除了這些小零食，還應該保持飲食的平衡。雖然在旅行中，吃飯需要更多的時間，但是爲了保持健康，每天至少吃一頓大餐。食物裏應包含足夠的脂肪，蛋白質和維他命。

一些景區可能會賣當地的特產。對於這種食物，我們最好是以慎重的態度對待。如果覺得不符合自己的胃口，應加以拒絕，以避免不必要的過敏或腹瀉
照顧好小孩

很多家長帶着孩子一起去旅行。如果這樣的話，父母要牢牢記住：孩子可能比成年人更容易暈車。
幫助孩子克服暈車，家長應注意以下幾點：不要讓孩子吃的太多或是吃太油膩的食物，但是也不能讓他們餓着。給他們吃像水果這樣的健康小食品。在上飛機或上車前，在孩子的肚臍上夾一塊薑片，來防止暈車。有些孩子坐在前排或是後排靠窗的座位會感覺好一些，因爲可以通風。對於那些暈車很嚴重的孩子來說，家長應該根據醫生開的藥方給他們吃一些暈車藥。
