Fahrenheit. If hot foods are not hot and/or cold foods are not cold, they should not be eaten. Pasteurization: Do not consume unpasteurized dairy products, such as milk and cheese. Unpasteur- ized milk and dairy prod- ucts could contain harmful pathogens and are not safe to eat, drink or to be used in making foods. Read the food labels and ask questions. Water Safety: As with any
international travel and com- petition, it is always best to rely on bottled water for drinking and brushing your teeth. Most ice machines are not treated so it is best to drink room temperature beverages and skip the ice. Consume fl uids from con- tainers with unbroken seals and avoid drinking water from showers and pools. General hygiene: Always
wash your hands before eating or handling food and after using the bathroom or blowing your nose. Carry hand sanitiser on you at all times, in case there is no- where to wash your hands appropriately. Athletes should use these guidelines to make the best
decision possible when eat- ing or drinking during inter- national travel.
Upon Return When an athlete arrives
home from their trip, it is wise for them to refl ect on their experience and review their travel nutrition plan. What worked? What didn’t? Record some recommenda- tions for future travel to that region. It is an invaluable starting point for preparing for future trips and for shar- ing their knowledge with oth- ers.
If they have experienced
any issues while travelling, now is the time to rectify them. They may need nu- tritional support to recover from an illness, overcome jetlag, reduce weight gained or gain weight lost, or over- come fatigue.
