food in Mexico
I think that would depend on the person. There were dishes I liked right away and some - well. All cultures are different. When it comes to the water, some of the hotels and restaurants have filter systems so you can drink it. But do not drink straight out of a tap if you don't know. I also would check to make sure the bottled water, if you are purchasing it from a street vendor, has not been refilled.

Food in Mexico
Don't eat raw vegetables or fruit unless peeled. Stick to peeled and cooked food and you'll be OK. Maybe the spicyness can bother you a bit. -- LucKl Message origin: www.TRAVEL.com |

Food in Mexico
Don't eat raw vegetables or fruit unless peeled. Stick to peeled and
cooked food and you'll be OK. Maybe the spicyness can bother you a bit. Fine if you don't care about nutrition. Health begins with raw, fresh food. People get sick in other countries because their body has not developed an immunity to new bacteria/viruses. The smart thing is to stop all intake of food (no medicines/drugs!), and fast for a day or 2. That's usually all it takes. Granted, this is not ideal on a vacation but its the only way to develop an immunity to those different bacteria/viruses. That should be the last time you get sick once you have an immunity. You can't possibly avoid the bacteria/viruses by avoiding raw vegetables. Its everywhere, on everything you touch. Are you going to walk around in a bubble? Better to eat the freshest food possible to keep your immune system as high as possible all the time. And exercise intensely when you're away. Heavy cardio is the best way of eliminating jet lag! Next time you feel weary at the beach, and its before breakfast, take a sprint down the beach, especially in soft sand which can be particularly exhausting. Afterwards you'll feel refreshed in a new way. Just push through the heat. The best way to adjust to a new climate is to exercise heavily in that precise climate. Air conditioning is a fool's way to comfort. If you paid to go to the tropics, don't wuss out with air conditioning. |

Mexico food is reason enough to travel to the lovely land down south, and the street food is especially fine. Check out some food from Mexico mercados, street stands and restaurants, and start planning your Mexico travel to git you some

This is usually a light, late meal in Mexico. Sushi is also becoming a very popular food with the Mexicans living in Guadalajara

So many people advise against eating raw vegetables and things like that in Mexico, but if you are in a decent restaurant then you shouldn't have to worry. It's true, we can't walk around in a bubble afraid of everything- there is bacteria every, not just in mexican food! I think lots of people go to mexico already afraid of getting sick from everything they've heard, and this just makes things worse. It does take some adjustment to get used to the food, but this depends on each individual and their systems. The food in mexico is excellent, and not something to be missed out on because one is scared! |
