Food poisoning is always a risk when you travel, but it doesn't have to be. Follow these 3 simple steps to minimise your risk of suffering from food poisoning whenever you travel...and if you get unlucky and get sick anyway, I also share 3 simple steps for treating food poisoning while you are travelling.

Avoiding Food Poisoning
1.Microbes often live in contaminated water, so make sure you only drink safe water and don't eat anything that has been washed in water.

2.Eat smart, don't avoid street food, just make sure you eat from busy places that have proper food storage and cooking methods

3.Wash your hands, harmful bacteria are everywhere so it is important to wash and sanitise your hands before eating

Treating Food Poisoning
1.Drink water and use hydrating salts to replace all of the water that you lose

2.Eat Food. Remember that your body need food to function, so make sure to eat something plain like bread or rice

3.See a local doctor. They might be able to diagnose you or prescribe you something that will make you feel much better.
