Also, they should not eat too much instant noodles, in order to keep healthy. They should not eat any unsafe, uncertified food or drinks. They shouldn ' t drink mineral water, or any other water from a pool or river. They should try to eat in restaurants and prepare their own forks and spoons and water bottles. In that way, their diet is convenient and safe.

　　5 、Do not get overtired.
　　 When traveling by train, there are always a lot of people and it is very crowded sometimes. The carriages are not as clean as they could be, and the trains shake badly sometimes. All these factors can make the seniors tired. Therefore, when traveling by train, they'd better take a sleeper. Or, they could take a plane. Also, they could finish their journey in stages if it is too long. The schedule had better be relaxing, and there should not be too many activities. When walking for sightseeing, they should not hurry but walk slowly and leisurely. And when climbing mountains, they should not force themselves, but climb only as much as possible for them. Otherwise they would get overtired, and their hearts would beat faster than usual. Thus, they would not get enough oxygen and blood flowing into their hearts, and they would get ill again. If they feel faintness, headache, or an unusual heartbeat, they should rest immediately or go to the doctor.

　　 The rooms seniors sleep in do not have to be luxurious, but have to be quiet and pleasant in order for them to have 6 or 8 hours sleep a day. It is better not to have more than 4 in a room. It is good to live with whomever you travel with and are familiar with, so that you can look after each other. Seniors should not live in a wet, dim, or crowded room. These kinds of rooms will not save them money, but actually cause them to spend more if they become ill. Poor rooms will affect sleep quality and make them lose energy, and diseases may come. Seniors had better wash their feet with warm water before going to bed. And when sleeping, they should keep the feet and lower parts of the legs elevated a little bit, in case their whole legs get edema 。
