Maintaining a regular diet is an unavoidable issue when taking a long-distance train ride home for the Spring Festival. Personal hygiene also tends to take a significant hit on the overcrowded, sweltering trains during the Spring Festival travel rush. As a result, even in winter, gastrointestinal diseases find an opportune moment to flare up, with common issues like abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting among passengers on trains heading home for the holiday.
1. Bucket Noodles: Not very nutritious on their own, but adding sausages, eggs or quail eggs, along with some canned meat, can make for a pretty decent meal. Spicy flavors should be avoided in favor of lighter ones to prevent internal heat and constipation – using the restroom is inconvenient enough without dealing with constipation!
On the train, personal hygiene must be observed. Hands should be washed with soap before meals; if there's concern about water shortages, it's best to prepare disinfectant wipes beforehand and use them to clean hands before eating. If you feel nauseous after eating something bad, don't force yourself to hold it in – vomiting is the body’s protective mechanism against unsuitable conditions, and you'll feel better after expelling toxins.
1. Purified Water: The best beverage option on the train is purified water. Take small sips when thirsty rather than drinking excessively to avoid frequent bathroom breaks.

2. Carbonated Beverages like Cola: These can easily cause bloating and burping in the confined train carriage. Juices may contain additives and could even make you thirstier. The healthiest and most natural drink choice remains purified water.
3. Eight-Treasure Porridge: With poor ventilation and dry air on the train, having a bit of liquid for breakfast is beneficial. Drinking a can of eight-treasure porridge can effectively alleviate nighttime dry mouth and discomfort.
Third Section: Dinner on the Train
PS: Milk should not be consumed as a substitute for water, as drinking too much can increase thirst.
Appetite often decreases on the train, but to maintain good health, it's essential to ensure three regular meals a day. How can one eat healthily and nutritiously while on a train?
4. Milk: There are many foods that pair well with milk. You can drink a bag of milk with a few slices of bread, or have an egg with your milk – both excellent choices. Milk is rich in nutrients and can adequately replenish the various nutritional needs of our bodies, alleviating physical discomfort during the train journey.
Introduction: Returning home for the Spring Festival is about reuniting with family. It would be unfortunate to fall ill on the train. People going home for the festival should be highly cautious of common "train sicknesses" to ensure a healthy return home for a joyful reunion.
Oranges, which are in season, can also be eaten in moderation, though not excessively to avoid frequent trips to the restroom.
1. Packaged Bread: Whether whole wheat or otherwise, bread is made from flour ground from grains grown in the earth. It's commonly eaten for breakfast and works just as well on a train.
PS: If you dislike toast, I suggest trying Ppanpan French mini-bread or Wantai small steamed buns. The sweet flavor of these small buns appeals not only to children but also to girls craving snacks on the train.
4. Sunflower Seeds: Eating sunflower seeds can easily pass the time on a boring train ride. They serve as a natural way to avoid conversation with strangers other than reading or sleeping. Chewing sunflower seeds also makes you appear less dull. Choose specially cooked seeds that won’t cause internal heat to avoid trouble on the train.
After a day of eating convenience food, it’s recommended to opt for fresh food sold on the train for dinner. Have some stir-fried dishes with rice, a bowl of noodles, or a snack to supplement fresh vitamins into your body.
3. Fruits: Apples are suitable fruits to eat on the train because they provide moderate hydration and fullness. Unlike pears, which promote urination, or bananas, which aid digestion and may cause frequent trips to the restroom, apples can help you replenish Vitamin C while filling your stomach.
5. Other Packaged Snacks: If you enjoy sour flavors, you can bring a bag of plum candies or dried orange peels, eating them slowly to pass the time. If you prefer crunchy foods, you can bring a bag of peanuts or boiled peanuts. For those who want to feel young again, try Wangwang jelly or Chi Zhi Lang CC. If you're not afraid of spiciness, you can indulge in pickled chicken feet.

2. Eggs: Eggs are high in calories, and two can suffice for a meal. They can be tucked away in the corners of your luggage without taking up much space. Avoid bringing boiled eggs; instead, go for vacuum-packed preserved eggs or tea eggs, as boiled eggs can easily spoil.
Even though the food on the train might taste bad and be expensive, it's still important to eat for the sake of our health!
