Feeding
- Do not stop eating everything. Therefore, eat foods from all groups (meat, fish, milk, eggs, legumes, cereals, fruits, vegetables and vegetables). Ice cream, sweets and soft drinks will not replace basic food, should be at most its complement.
- Store food properly. Do not bring products that can be lost during the trip and check the expiration date of everything that has been purchased before starting the trip, even after arriving at the destination point. Normally if you are demanding with your purchases and demand quality, on holiday you have to do the same.
- It is important to have a special balance with products containing cream, bechamel and mayonnaise, as they are at higher risk of infection. It is preferable to replace it with other products.
- If you are on holiday in camping mode, you should know all the dry products (pasta, flour, sugar, or even potatoes, onions, etc.) should be stored hermetically closed to protect against insects. On the other hand, bread and vegetables last longer and remain better wrapped in foil.
- Finally, and to end this feeding point, there are some mistakes we usually make with relative regularity during the holidays:
