These five proven tips help you prevent traveler\u2019s diarrhea and keep your adventures worry-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-1-practice-good-hygiene\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Practice Good Hygiene<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good hygiene is one of the most important defenses against Montezuma\u2019s revenge. Frequent, thorough hand-washing clears away germs, one of the big culprits of traveler\u2019s diarrhea. Use soap and warm water, particularly after you\u2019ve used the bathroom and before you eat. Keep an alcohol-based hand sanitizer handy and apply it regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-2-get-plenty-of-sleep\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Get Plenty of Sleep<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sleep is one of the most underestimated elements of digestive health, and it often takes a hit on the road. With so much to see and do, and jet lag throwing a wrench in your schedule, rest slips down the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lack of sleep shows up throughout your body, from your mood to your muscles. Plan for a solid night\u2019s rest, whether that means packing a white noise machine or an eye mask. Then make those zzz\u2019s a priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-3-make-wise-water-choices\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Make Wise Water Choices<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Staying well hydrated is essential to a healthy gut on the road. At home, you may pour water straight from the tap, but safe drinking water isn\u2019t always available everywhere. Instead, choose sealed bottled water, including when brushing your teeth. Ice may have been made from contaminated water, so skip it when dining out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-4-keep-moving\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Keep Moving<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Long stretches of sitting, such as a long-haul flight or a bus ride across country, can contribute to travel-related constipation. Stay active during your trip to keep things moving. No gym required, so walk whenever you can. As a bonus, exploring on foot is a lovely way to see the sights!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-5-opt-for-cooked-clean-food\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Opt for Cooked, Clean Food<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the greatest joys of traveling is experimenting with new cuisines, and when done mindfully, it need not bring on Montezuma\u2019s revenge. One of the most common bacterial pathogens, Salmonella, is difficult to detect as contaminated foods rarely carry a giveaway smell or taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stick with foods that are cooked and still hot, and steer clear of buffet dishes that have been sitting out for an unknown amount of time. Fruit and vegetables are smart choices, as long as they are washed in clean water or peeled first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think about any trigger foods that cause trouble at home and decide whether they\u2019re worth the risk. Lastly, consider opting for fiber-rich foods to boost hydration and help you stay regular on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"26651\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDI0IiBoZWlnaHQ9Ijc2OCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSI+PGFuaW1hdGUgYXR0cmlidXRlTmFtZT0iZmlsbCIgdmFsdWVzPSJyZ2JhKDE1MywxNTMsMTUzLDAuNSk7cmdiYSgxNTMsMTUzLDE1MywwLjEpO3JnYmEoMTUzLDE1MywxNTMsMC41KSIgZHVyPSIycyIgcmVwZWF0Q291bnQ9ImluZGVmaW5pdGUiIC8+PC9yZWN0Pjwvc3ZnPg==\" alt=\"smiling woman passenger with headphones looking out airplane window\" class=\"wp-post-26643 wp-image-26651\" data-public-id=\"magazine\/smiling-woman-passenger-with-headphones-looking-out-airplane-window-simonapilolla-iStock\/smiling-woman-passenger-with-headphones-looking-out-airplane-window-simonapilolla-iStock.jpg\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-transformations=\"c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\" data-version=\"1732210234\" data-seo=\"1\" data-size=\"1024 768\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1024,h_768,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1732210234\/magazine\/smiling-woman-passenger-with-headphones-looking-out-airplane-window-simonapilolla-iStock\/smiling-woman-passenger-with-headphones-looking-out-airplane-window-simonapilolla-iStock.jpg?_i=AA 1024w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_300,h_225,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1732210234\/magazine\/smiling-woman-passenger-with-headphones-looking-out-airplane-window-simonapilolla-iStock\/smiling-woman-passenger-with-headphones-looking-out-airplane-window-simonapilolla-iStock.jpg?_i=AA 300w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_768,h_576,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1732210234\/magazine\/smiling-woman-passenger-with-headphones-looking-out-airplane-window-simonapilolla-iStock\/smiling-woman-passenger-with-headphones-looking-out-airplane-window-simonapilolla-iStock.jpg?_i=AA 768w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1536,h_1152,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1732210234\/magazine\/smiling-woman-passenger-with-headphones-looking-out-airplane-window-simonapilolla-iStock\/smiling-woman-passenger-with-headphones-looking-out-airplane-window-simonapilolla-iStock.jpg?_i=AA 1536w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1200,h_900,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1732210234\/magazine\/smiling-woman-passenger-with-headphones-looking-out-airplane-window-simonapilolla-iStock\/smiling-woman-passenger-with-headphones-looking-out-airplane-window-simonapilolla-iStock.jpg?_i=AA 1200w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1440,h_1080,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1732210234\/magazine\/smiling-woman-passenger-with-headphones-looking-out-airplane-window-simonapilolla-iStock\/smiling-woman-passenger-with-headphones-looking-out-airplane-window-simonapilolla-iStock.jpg?_i=AA 1440w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_600,h_450,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1732210234\/magazine\/smiling-woman-passenger-with-headphones-looking-out-airplane-window-simonapilolla-iStock\/smiling-woman-passenger-with-headphones-looking-out-airplane-window-simonapilolla-iStock.jpg?_i=AA 600w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1732210234\/magazine\/smiling-woman-passenger-with-headphones-looking-out-airplane-window-simonapilolla-iStock\/smiling-woman-passenger-with-headphones-looking-out-airplane-window-simonapilolla-iStock.jpg?_i=AA 1707w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-delivery=\"upload\" onload=\";window.CLDBind?CLDBind(this):null;\" data-cloudinary=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-enjoy-a-healthy-happy-holiday\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enjoy a Healthy, Happy Holiday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hit by the uncomfortable symptoms of traveler\u2019s tummy?
