10 tips for traveling on May Day to help you have fun and be healthy

The annual May Day holiday is here. Many people like to travel during the May Day holiday. This is a good way to relax, but it also requires strategy. How can you travel during the May Day holiday in a healthy and enjoyable way? Here, the editor has compiled some travel tips for the May Day holiday. Go and check them out.

1. Plan ahead

I stayed at home all day during the May Day holiday, which was really a waste of the good spring time. Whether you plan a long-distance trip, stay at a nearby place for a day or two, or simply enjoy the bright sunshine in a park in the city, it is a good holiday arrangement. Whenever you go out, it is no more convenient than being at home. A headache, fever, wind or sun exposure will inevitably make your body feel uncomfortable, affecting your good mood for travel. Therefore, be prepared for possible accidents in advance to avoid being caught off guard halfway. Making detailed May Day travel plans in advance, especially making emergency plans, can make you less nervous when encountering dangerous situations.

2. Carefully select travel routes and travel agencies

Before choosing a travel agency, you should consult more, understand the basic situation of each travel agency, and choose a travel agency with legal qualifications and strong business strength. Consumers are advised to choose a formal contract text supervised by the industry regulatory authorities. The content generally includes: travel time and itinerary, transportation and grade. The quality and standards of food and accommodation during travel. You can also refuse to sign unfair format contracts formulated by travel agencies themselves.

3. Pay attention to safety when going out

When there is congestion on the mountain road, try to keep your body close to the side of the mountain; if you are in an environment with too many people, try to stand upwind. Carrying a knife, rope, tourniquet and corresponding first aid medicines in your travel supplies can make you feel at ease. Even if an accident really occurs, these tools will not make you panic. To prevent body damage during May Day travel:

1. Femoral neck fracture: especially prone to occur in the elderly. If you are injured, you should not continue to bear weight and go to the hospital immediately for an X-ray examination.

2. Wrist fracture: This is mostly caused by instinctively using the palm of the hand to support the ground when tripping or slipping. After the injury, the patient will feel severe pain in the injured wrist, and some can even feel the bone fragments moving. After being injured, find a flat board or book nearby to support your wrist and avoid repeated swinging of your wrist. Do not massage or perform repeated exercises on your own. The fracture should be repositioned by a doctor as soon as possible and then fixed with plaster.

3. Ankle ligament injury and ankle fracture: This injury often occurs when running and going downhill. Even if you can walk after the injury, you should avoid weight bearing. If conditions permit, apply ice immediately to reduce bleeding and swelling, but avoid massage and hot compresses. You should go to the hospital as soon as possible for plaster fixation or surgical treatment.

4. Disinfection during travel is very important. It is best to bring your own towel and take a shower.

When traveling during the May Day holiday, the dishes and chopsticks on the table always make me feel a little uneasy. Especially during the peak tourist season, even if restaurants with large customer flow are equipped with disinfection cabinets and other equipment, due to the rapid turnover of customers, both time and space in the disinfection cabinets are in short supply, making it difficult to ensure effective disinfection of tableware. The sanitary conditions of some small restaurants at the junction of urban and rural areas are even more grim.

Therefore, it is best to carry disinfection supplies (utensils) with you when traveling. Currently, the portable disinfection products on the market include disinfectant liquid, disinfectant wipes, portable disinfection devices, etc. It should be noted that when purchasing a portable sterilizer, you should choose a sterilizer with a protective device to prevent direct ultraviolet rays from shining on the skin and eyes.

It is not uncommon to see people contracting sexually transmitted diseases due to the misuse of towels and other hygiene products. Especially during the peak tourist season, the probability of occurrence is higher. Because you are unfamiliar with the place, it is difficult to find a hotel with reliable hygiene conditions when traveling. In order to prevent accidents, it is best to bring your own towels. If you forget to bring them, it is best to buy two locally to avoid getting sick. In addition, it is best not to use the hotel's bathtub when taking a bath. It is more appropriate to use a shower.

5. Prevent travel fatigue syndrome

Move more during long car rides. Do not always sit when riding in a vehicle. You should change your body position frequently, either standing for a while or sitting with your lower limbs raised for a while. You can also use your hands to massage your lower limbs from top to bottom to help blood circulation and prevent traveler's edema. People who are prone to motion sickness should take motion sickness medicine half an hour before driving. When riding in a vehicle, you should try to reduce head movement as much as possible. You can lean your head against the seat back, close your eyes and avoid looking at moving objects outside the window. If symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, cold sweat all over the body, and pale face appear, you should lie on your back and apply a cold towel to your forehead. When taking a long-distance bus, open the windows appropriately to keep the air in the car fresh so that people will not experience headaches, dizziness and other discomforts.

6. Travel anywhere, relax at any time, pay attention to mental health, and make the May Day Golden Week a real golden leisure time

People who travel frequently have this feeling: they have a lot of fun when they go out, but when they come back, they feel like their whole body is falling apart, and it takes them several days or even more than a week to recover. If you take care to relax during your trip, it won't be that hard to recover after you get back. Here are a few tips for you to use when traveling.

1. Water bath is the simplest and easiest way to eliminate fatigue.

2. It is best to prepare a pot of tea and add some salt before departure.

3. Massage is simple and easy, and it is also a good way to eliminate fatigue.

4. When you feel anxious, take slow, deep breaths to adjust your oxygen-deprived state. Wind oil has a certain calming effect, and taking it orally can help you clear your mind and reduce anxiety when necessary. At critical moments, water can help you dissipate heat, relieve pain, and increase your ability to survive.

7. Be careful when shopping while traveling

When shopping in a foreign place, avoid being impulsive and following the crowd. In scenic areas and roadside shops, try to enter the shops without buying anything or buy as little as possible. Even if you want to buy it, you should choose a regular shopping mall with good reputation. Consumption receipts such as travel agency invoices, attraction tickets, and shopping invoices during travel are necessary evidence for consumers to protect their rights and should be kept properly by consumers. In particular, you should ask for invoices for expenses incurred by travel agencies for unauthorized changes to programs during the trip, so as to provide a basis for complaints and reports in the event of disputes.

During the May Day travel, if the legitimate rights and interests of consumers are infringed, please promptly file a complaint with the local consumer organization or tourism authority, you can also appeal to the relevant administrative department, or sue the court.

8. Pay attention to accident travel insurance contracts

This contract falls under the category of national compulsory insurance, and the travel agency will purchase insurance on behalf of the consumer from the insurance company. Before traveling, consumers must check whether there is an "Accident Insurance Contract" signed between the travel agency and the insurance company for this trip to prevent risks.

9. Eat delicious food in moderation

Tasting local delicacies and specialties during the trip is undoubtedly a great pleasure during the May Day holiday. However, many tourists insist on doing whatever they want, or eat food from small street stalls or special snacks all at once without caring about hygiene. This can cause great stimulation to the gastrointestinal tract and may cause acute gastrointestinal diseases.

When traveling on May Day, you should choose food that is light and nutritious, and eat less raw, cold, oily and greasy food to avoid intestinal infectious diseases. Try to drink tea or mineral water when you are thirsty, eat more fruits, and do not drink or drink less alcohol during meals to avoid accidents.

10. Pay attention to sexual safety and treat "honeymoon disease" quickly

During the May Day holiday, couples were so excited that they had a great time during the day, with spring scenery everywhere, and naturally they had more frequent sex at night. Due to irregular life, physical fitness has declined; if you do not pay attention to sexual hygiene before and after sexual life, bacteria will invade the urethra and other parts, and it is very easy for the woman or the man to be infected with "honeymoon diseases" such as urethritis, cystitis, and pyelonephritis during oral sex.

1. Honeymoon travel should be avoided during the woman’s menstrual period.

2. The vulva should be cleaned before sexual intercourse, and the man should also clean it thoroughly.

3. Change and wash your underwear frequently.

4. Have a moderate sex life.

5. Maintain good sleep and enhance resistance; drink more water, urinate frequently, drink less or no alcohol.

6. Once you suffer from the "honeymoon disease". Immediate treatment is necessary to avoid hidden dangers. If the disease is treated promptly and appropriately, it will heal quickly. During the illness, you should pay attention to bed rest, drink plenty of water, and stop sexual intercourse to help recover.

7. Contraception during the safe period is unreliable. When a woman's living environment changes, her menstrual cycle may change, that is, the safe period may be "unsafe". It is unreliable to infer whether contraception is needed based on this.

I wish you all a happy May Day trip and truly spend some golden leisure time during the May Day Golden Week.
