WORLD HEALTH DAY: Six Food Safety Tips you need while travelling.!

Most of us like travelling for one reason or the other... But while travelling, food is one thing that we should be careful about..

Do we give enough importance as to what is being served in our plate and how safe and hygienic it is?

The theme for World Health Day, which falls on April 7, is SAFE FOOD this year. So, here are a few food safety tips for a traveller:

1) Always try and go for hot and freshly prepared foods rather than choosing frozen meat, cheese and stale foods(in general) as they carry a lot of bacteria.

2) Eat at a place or restaurant that is well-known for good food hygiene practices to ensure safer food choice.

3) Always try and go for bottled water products while travelling, but you should always check the seal to ensure it is intact as not all packaged drinking water is safe.

4) Avoid eating cut fruits as they may carry a lot of infection, instead buy fresh ones and PEEL them yourself and eat.

5) Always wash and sanitise your hands properly while eating out to avoid getting inflicted with infections that may cause food poisoning.

6) Lastly, eat at a place that there are people in it..(Lol--- it speaks confidence).

And don't forget, 'Your Food is your first medicine, and your medicine your first Food...#WorldHealthDay #SafeFood

Keep staying Healthy, Informed and Entertained..!!!
