Holiday accident compensation warning for hungry holiday makers

Eating what you fancy when you go abroad can have a significant impact on your health and if you are not careful about what you eat you could end up having to make a holiday accident compensation claim.

Even eating unhealthily for a week or two can be enough to damage your body and get you out of a healthy routine that you may not get back into. Your health is at significant risk when you are eating out every night. Eating out can lead you to eat bigger portions and cause you to choose more of your favourite treats such as large cuts of fried meats and chips.

Equally, it is difficult to know how high the standards of cleanliness are in restaurants abroad and when dining at various restaurants it's even more difficult to keep track of where you have eaten if you do sustain illness, which can cause problems if you are considering making a no win, no fee holiday accident claim.

Many holidaymakers will choose to stick to the sorts of foods that they are used to as they are ignorant of and uninterested in local dishes. However, many of the familiar foods available at holiday resorts are fast foods such as burgers and pies, which are all high in saturated fats. For example, it is tempting to fill up on hotel fried breakfasts because they are included in the price of your accommodation, when at home you would settle for a bowl of cereal and a cup of tea.

Some of the healthier choices available at popular holiday destinations include:

Italy salads with minimal dressing and pasta with tomato rather than cream based sauces or pizzas with extra cheese.

Greece vegetable dolmades, hummus, chicken or fish souvalaki rather than calorie packed moussaka.

Spain vegetable soups rather than fried calamari or patatas bravas.

France moules marinere, grilled steaks, green salads and avoid creamy soups, aioli and rich pastries.

Morocco chickens or fish tagine, couscous, tabbouleh and dried fruits and nuts rather than red meats, pastries and pies

Mexico chicken or vegetable fajitas with salsa rather than cheesy quesadillas or enchiladas with sour cream

While substituting fatty foods with healthier options can help keep your figure slim and your heart healthy, they can not guard you against food poisoning and other food related diseases such as typhoid and dysentery. Cases of food poisoning are quite difficult to prove unless an epidemic breaks out and the cause can be pin-pointed to one establishment, and in such circumstances claims for holiday accident compensation are likely to be successful.

Holidaymakers are often advised to steer clear of salads and fresh fruit in case they have been washed in local water that isn't fit for consumption. However, you can still eat raw fruit and vegetables if you make sure that they are washed thoroughly in bottled water.
