Eating is usually a very important cultural experience abroad and can
be a lot of fun! There are some basic steps to take to stay in good
shape while abroad:
- Know about the safety of water and stay hydrated with clean water
- Food safety – consult your host students and families about clean sources of food
- “Peel it, cook it or forget it” is often a smart way to approach fruits and vegetables from unsanitary sources
- Watch your stomach– try new foods in moderation, stick to a few familiar foods and let your intestines adjust
