What precautions should the elderly pay attention to when traveling?

Traveling is a good thing, but after all, we are no longer young. The aging of our bodies requires us to take care of our bodies, pay attention to maintaining mental balance, and pay attention to safety. Specifically, it requires us to pay attention to several aspects.

(1) Pay attention to psychological balance

Traveling is a pleasant thing, but it is also a tiring and tiring activity. If you lack sufficient mental preparation, you will often embark on the journey happily. Once you encounter something unsatisfactory on the way, or have a slight physical problem, you will feel tired, depressed and unwilling to visit, and you may even return disappointed halfway.

This is usually due to an imbalance in psychological adjustment. Therefore, you should pay attention to adjusting your psychology during travel.

First of all, you must be mentally prepared for the inconveniences and difficulties you may encounter in food, clothing, housing and transportation when traveling. Once you encounter some problems, such as buying inappropriate tickets, or informing the arrangements in advance after arriving at the station, If no one comes to pick you up, you should be able to deal with it calmly and take things as they come; not let small troubles put you off your fun.

Secondly, maintain a normal life routine as much as possible. Get up early and go to bed early, and try to maintain the same living habits as when you lived at home, so that a series of conditioned reflexes of the human body will not be damaged.

Furthermore, the travel plan must be made according to the actual situation, taking into account not only entertainment but also proper rest. You must not be too tired to watch the tour just to rush for time, which will put your spirit in a state of high tension.

(2) Pay attention to food hygiene

During the journey, acute gastroenteritis or other infectious diseases are often caused by unhygienic diet or overeating, which not only affects your health, but also affects your health. It also makes people feel regretful that they can't enjoy their trip as much as they want. Therefore, we must pay attention to food hygiene, wash hands before meals and after going to the toilet; try to have three meals a day; and have a certain amount of rest time before and after meals. When tasting local delicacies and souvenirs, you must pay special attention to hygiene.

(3) Pay attention to travel safety
