Choose the site. We take good care of the place to eat. A room with a large audience is not only an indication that the food they serve is good, also ensures that the menus are consumed and that there are no dishes the day before.

It should also avoid places where hygiene is no special care and more in summer. At this time we must be careful with sauces or egg eating out, because we run the risk of salmonella gastroenteritis.

It is advisable to eat in those restaurants where the food is reheated or cooked with oil that is used for all types of food. If a hot dish is served cold is better to reject it because it means that it has been allowed to cool the air, with the risk that bacteria reproduce.

Drink water. Water should be the alternative to soda. This type of drinks are very sugary, and they have gas, which is not conducive to good digestion. The cause drowsiness desktop spirits and are not suitable for after work. The best thing is water, and more in summer, a time when the body requires constant hydration.
