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

旅行时也要保持健康

国庆节假期是旅行的时候。很多人让旅行社安排行程，以节省时间和精力去处理旅行中的一些细节问题。不管旅行社是多么细心周到，你仍需要注意一些问题，以确保旅行的安全和愉快。以下几点希望能给您以参考。



堤防什么样的疾病
中国地域辽阔，有着各种各样的山脉和河流。但是，并非每一个人都适合去这些景区游玩。高纬度，冰冷的海水和花粉可能去阻止一些人去这些地方。我建议患有急性中耳炎，冠心病，咽喉痛或严重的高低血压的人不要去山区旅行。高原反应会对这类人群的身体健康造成威胁。




我还强烈建议那些患有风湿病，糖尿病，胸痛，严重甲状腺的人不要去海边。秋季，海边的平均温度低于陆地平均温度。而且，海边空气湿度大，钠离子丰富。这都会使这群人的病情恶化，还可能患上所谓的海边综合症。




秋季还是花粉高发期，因此，对花粉过敏的人应尽量少出门，特别是在有风的日子。如果要出门，在出去前，服用一些防过敏的药物。


穿什么样的衣服
选择宽松轻薄的衣服。牛仔，T恤衫和防风夹克是日常行装的完美组合。

如果不想总是穿同样的衣服，可以带几件棉质T恤衫，可长可短。另外，要随身携带一双袜子，以防踏入水坑，没有替换品。


要穿亮色的衣服，理由有三：穿亮色的衣服照相时，会显得更漂亮；同其他游客混在一起时，更加容易辨别；鲜亮的衣服能振奋人的精神。


吃什么样的食物
巧克力是一种最适合路上携带的小食品。口感不错，而且能够随时补充能量。牛肉干也是一种不错的选择。用盐腌制的牛肉干对有助于拉伸肌肉。


除了这些小零食，还应该保持饮食的平衡。虽然在旅行中，吃饭需要更多的时间，但是为了保持健康，每天至少吃一顿大餐。食物里应包含足够的脂肪，蛋白质和维他命。

一些景区可能会卖当地的特产。对于这种食物，我们最好是以慎重的态度对待。如果觉得不符合自己的胃口，应加以拒绝，以避免不必要的过敏或腹泻
照顾好小孩

很多家长带着孩子一起去旅行。如果这样的话，父母要牢牢记住：孩子可能比成年人更容易晕车。
帮助孩子克服晕车，家长应注意以下几点：不要让孩子吃的太多或是吃太油腻的食物，但是也不能让他们饿着。给他们吃像水果这样的健康小食品。在上飞机或上车前，在孩子的肚脐上夹一块姜片，来防止晕车。有些孩子坐在前排或是后排靠窗的座位会感觉好一些，因为可以通风。对于那些晕车很严重的孩子来说，家长应该根据医生开的药方给他们吃一些晕车药。
