Food choices and health concerns
A long trip, the excitement of travel to begin a new experience, and adjustment to
a new culture can tax a person's mind, body and emotions. These stresses can cause
temporary distress and uncomfortable feelings for the first few days.
One more easily avoidable stressor relates to adjusting to American food. Unfamiliar
foods can unsettle the digestive system and cause it to become upset. Therefore, you
should select foods carefully for the first few meals until you system adjusts. Be
sure to pay attention to possible food allergies as well.
