Each country possesses food and cuisines that are vastly different to our own in the United States, especially with the food regulations we have in place, the amount of processed foods we eat and so on and so forth. It’s easy to underestimate how the food will affect you, so it’s best to not start piling up your plate as soon as you land in the airport. Instead, take it slow and feast your eyes upon these handy dietary tips for your next vacation:
1. Bland food
Not exactly what you had in mind for your next trip to Morocco, is it? A bland diet is recommended for travelers with sensitive stomachs who may need to start slowly upon arrival. Examples of bland food include low-fat dairy products, cooked vegetables, fruit and vegetable juices, and refined grains (white bread, crackers and pasta). These foods are not weighed down with fat nor are they highly acidic. You should eat them besides one meal out on your vacation and build up to eating food that is more local. That’s what you came for, isn’t it?
2. Bars
Bars are great because they could even fit in the same purse as your passport! They don’t expire, endure cold and hot climates and they’re good for you! They are usually packed with vitamins, protein, and fiber, so they’re great if you’re planning on making a trek up around the city or up a mountain with a beautiful view. You can buy these at your destination or have them with you on the plane. They’re a great alternative to peanuts, aren’t they?
Don’t let what food poisoning or an upset stomach happen to you on the first day of that well-earned vacation you’ve been saving up for. Study up on the local cuisine, common problems for tourists, and come prepared with your own dry storage. Your stomach will thank you for it!
