Keeping Yourself Healthy

Tips to keep you healthy:

  • Have your food cooked thoroughly. This is equal to refusing to eat any raw or half-cooked food, especially street food.
  • Drink only bottled water or chilled boiled water. Tap water is not drinkable in Vietnam so your water bottle will not be of much use here. You can buy a 1.5l mineral water and carry with you around. Try to avoid ice at all times.
  • Wash hands frequently, before eating and after using the toilets. It might be best to keep a hand-sanitizer handy and use it often as you can. Hand-sanitizer is also available for purchase at most supermarkets in Vienam.
  • Avoid lettuce, unpeeled fruits and vegetables in street vendors. Local authorities also advise that you thoroughly wash fruits carefully before consuming.
  • Stay active. Traveling to an exotic country may sometimes mean overstuffing yourself with seafood and foreign cuisines. Help your digestive system by walking lightly after a heavy meals and stay active during the day with mildly rigorous activities such as hiking, trekking and swimming.
