4 Health Mistakes to Avoid Making When Traveling

旅行時應避免犯下的四大健康錯誤

Everyone is talking about amazing travel experiences. However, there is always the other side of the coin. With a host of good experiences, there are even more bad ones, such as disease, robbery or mysterious bug bites, you name it. If you want to add more wonderful travel experiences to your life, make sure you avoid these health mistakes during your next trip.

人人都在談論絕妙的旅行經歷。然而，事情總有另一面。旅行有很多美好的經歷，但是糟糕的經歷甚至更多，比如：疾病、搶劫或被神祕的蚊蟲叮咬，應有盡有。如果想要讓你的生活多一些精彩的旅行經歷，一定要確保在下一次旅行期間避免以下的健康錯誤。

Refusing injection

拒絕打針

If you are asked to have an injection in order to avoid a certain disease before traveling to your destination, make sure you get it. In many cases, mosquito bites lead to malaria and there are many other health risks that you may face during your trip. Refusing injections is the worst thing you can do to your health. However, consult your doctor before having any type of injection.

在去旅遊目的地之前，如果有人讓你打一針以避免某種疾病，一定要確保你打了。很多情況下，蚊子叮咬會導致瘧疾，而且在旅途中，你還可能遇到很多其它的健康風險。拒絕打針是你對身體所能做的最糟糕的事情。但是，在打任何針之前，請先諮詢一下醫生。

Eating out in the street

吃街頭小吃

Budget travelers are all guilty of eating street food. Yes, it is cheaper and tastier than restaurant meals. However, when visiting a country where clean food and dishes are not priority, your stomach may not survive this experiment. Just because locals eat street food and feel and look healthy, does not mean you will feel and look the same. Do a better research to find the place where you can eat clean and healthy food for cheap.

窮遊族都爲吃街頭小吃而感到愧疚。是的，這些小吃比餐館裏的飯菜更便宜、也更美味。但當你旅遊的這個國家不是十分重視乾淨的食物和餐盤時，你的肚子在這場實驗（旅行）中是不能倖免於難的。地方風味街頭小吃看起來健康，但這並不意味着吃到肚子裏的感受是一樣的。攻略做好點，找個可以吃到既便宜又幹淨健康食物的地方。

Drinking tap water

飲用自來水

Staying hydrated is essential, so is the water choice. Even if locals tell you that their tap water is safe to drink, it is best to opt for bottled water. While it is not the healthiest option, it is at least clean. It is always better to be safe than sorry.

保持水分十分重要，選擇喝什麼水也一樣重要。即使當地人告訴你可以放心飲用他們那邊的自來水，但最好還是選擇瓶裝水。雖然這並不是最爲健康的選擇，但至少是乾淨的。事前小心總好過事後後悔。

Skipping health insurance details

跳過健康保險細節

Most tourists get health insurance, but they fail to find out all the details of it. Then, in case of accident, a serious injury or disease, it turns out that their health insurance does not cover the expenses that have nothing to do with the insurance company. Know the details before purchasing your insurance.

多數遊客都有健康保險，但他們弄不清所有的細節。那樣，在發生意外事故、受傷嚴重或感染疾病的情況下，事實會表明他們的健康保險並不涵蓋那些與保險公司無關的費用。所以在購買保險前，要了解各種細節。
