Stay healthy on holiday

Food and drink

Avoid: These include salads, shellfish, ice cream and fruit that you haven't peeled yourself. Stir-fries, cooked vegetables, chips, well-cooked fresh meat and locally caught fish are all relatively safe choices. It's better to opt for hot food cooked to order, rather than buffet-style dishes that may have been kept lukewarm for hours. Medium temperatures allow bugs to thrive - so avoid cold food served too warm and hot food that's served too cold.

Choose restaurants carefully: Bad signs are dirty overalls, staff who smoke or have dirty hands, unsatisfactory customer toilets, flies, cats and dogs roaming inside or out, or overflowing bins piling up outside.
