For most vacations, you can’t get where you’re going without flying, which may pose some health issues. Here are a few tips to stay well while you’re in the air.
Be aware of the air – Cabin pressure is particularly strong at high altitudes, resulting in less available air. It’s recommended that you take long, relaxed breaths while flying to avoid the possibility of breathing becoming laboured.
Avoid deep vein thrombosis – Some passengers can be at risk for this condition, especially on long flights; to help guard against this, try standing up and walking for several minutes every hour or so.
Strengthen your immune system – When you’re in a closed environment with dry air, as you are during a flight, illnesses can spread very easily. Avoiding foods with high sugar content can help your body fight off bacteria more effectively.
