How can I protect myself from traveler’s diarrhea while traveling abroad?

How can I protect myself from traveler’s diarrhea while traveling abroad?
•When you are traveling abroad, don’t forget that drinking another country’s water can be dangerous.
•Stick with bottled or boiled water and carbonated soft drinks.
•Remember that the ice in your drink turns into water, so order them with out ice.
•Wipe off the tops of cans before you drink from them, or better yet, bring some straws to use for drinking.
•Avoid raw foods, as they can also be a good way to get sick.
•Only brush your teeth with bottled water and keep your mouth shut when you’re in the shower, even an accidental spray can get you sick.
