If you want to stay healthy when travelling or when out and about two of the most important things to remember are clean water and clean hands. It's basic stuff, but so much so that it can often be overlooked, and we can also forget how hard it can be to achieve when we stray from the beaten track and the comforts and conveniences of home.

Iodine Tinture for Water Purification Iodine Tincture from Nomad Medical is a cheap and effective product for sterilising water. Consequently, it is worth taking a bottle with you as a back-up, no matter what sterilisation method you use. To use, simply add 5 drops of Iodine Tincture per litre of water and allow to stand for 30 minutes before drinking. Supplied in a small bottle complete with a dropper, and each bottle is sufficient for treating 200 litres of water. Iodine Tincture can also be used as an antiseptic for treating cuts and grazes if required. Not suitable for children under 12, pregnant women or those with thyroid problems. Price:£3.95 Quantity:

Iodine Tincture and Neutraliser Iodine Tincture is an excellent product, but it does tend to colour the water slightly and leave a bit of a chemical taste. Fortunately though this can be easily rectified by the addition of a small amount of Neutralising Powder (Vitamin C), which takes away the colour and the taste of the Iodine. Consequently, they are packaged together here in a kit, sufficient for treating up to 200 litres of water. Price:£6.95 Quantity:

Water Purification Kit The Water Purification Kit from Nomad Medical contains a bottle of Iodine Tincture, Neutralsing Powder and a Millbank Filter Bag. To be trully effective, Iodine should only be used with 'clean' water - clear water without any visible particulates. Consequently, the Millbank Filter Bag in the kit allows you to 'clean' dirty water before adding the Iodine. To use, simply fill the Millbank Filter Bag with dirty water and allow it to drain through under the influence of gravity. If it should block, simply turn the bag inside out and wash off the sediment. It should take about five minutes to filter a litre of water, before adding the Iodine to sterilise it. The price for this item includes free delivery throughout the UK. Click here to see the Millbank Filter Bag in action.... Price:£21.95 Quantity:

Aquatabs Aquatabs is the largest and most commonly recognised brand of water purification tablets in the world. The active ingredient is Chlorine in the form of NaDCC (Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate), and as such it is more effective than bleach or chloramines. It is also a good alternative to Iodine, which isn't always suitable for young children, pregnant women or those with thyroid problems. To use, simply add 1 Aquatab to 1 litre of clear water and leave for 30 minutes before using. Each packet contains 50 Aquatabs. Click here to find out more about Aquatabs.... Price:£4.95 Quantity:
