Food, Water and Health Basics

Why go

The practical questions change with the setting. On a hot summer street, perishable food needs more care than a freshly cooked meal. On long bus journeys or remote outings, carry enough water rather than relying on a stop. Washing or peeling produce is a simple precaution when eating outside your accommodation.

Useful to know

• Carry drinking water for long journeys and mountain outings.
• Choose freshly prepared food and be cautious with perishables left in summer heat.
• Wash or peel fruit and vegetables before eating them.
