A honeymoon is when you need to be fit and rearing to go - so you need to make sure your health doesn`t suffer in any way.

• If hot and humid places makes you feel ill - don`t choose a tropical destination for your honeymoon. Or if you feel run down in the cold places - make sure you head in the opposite direction. Choose your honeymoon destination with care.

• Take care to keep your body well hydrated. Don`t spend long hours in the sun, and make sure you drink plenty of water. Dehydration is just as possible to cold dry climate. Often tiredness and fatigue are caused by dehydration. If you`re feeling tired, increase your water intake.

• You`re giddy with joy. Don`t let that make you careless when you`re driving or walking up a mountain or when you go swimming. Most accidents happen due to a minute of carelessness.

• Pay special attention to personal hygiene. Negligence of such vital issues not only be distasteful and unattractive, but can also pose major health problems.

• Urinary infection is fairly common among newly married girls. This problem is caused due to cystitis - you need to drink plenty of water and consult a good doctor.

• Contraception. Unless you want a baby as soon as possible, make sure you`ve dealt with this issue - and you`re well prepared. You could be allergic to some forms of contraception. It`s considered wise to consult a doctor before your wedding and discuss the various pros and cons.

• Take your regular medication along. And your vitamin tablets too. There is no point in ignoring your asthma or diabetes or migraine. It would only play spoil sport during your honeymoon.

• Visiting some countries would need inoculation shots - don`t ignore them. Some of the diseases found in Africa and Asia could plague you for the rest of your life.
