Health Tips For Long Plane Rides
Tips to Survive Long Airplane Flights
If you are planning a long airplane flight, then here are some
ways to combat the ill affects of traveling for long periods of
time. A flight might last about 6 to 8 hours on longer
international flights, here are some ways to combat being stuck
in a chair flying at over 30,000 feet for such a long period of
time.
Keep yourself hydrated. Many people hate flying, so the first
thing they do is down as much alcohol as possible. This is not
good, because the air is usually dryer in the airplane and the
affects of alcohol only dry out your body even more. Add air
turbulence and motion sickness and you have the makings of an
extremely uncomfortable flight.
Exercise regularly. It is difficult to sit in one place for such
a long period of time, so the best thing to do is to get out of
your seat and walk around a few minutes each hour. Make sure to
stretch your arms and legs and to roll your head around your
neck. This will make you feel much more flexible and less
lethargic. Make sure you don't overeat before arriving on the
plane. You don't want to have to go to the bathroom when you are
sitting on the tarmac or while the seatbelt sign is lit. Plus
you don't want to have a stomach ache to begin your flight.
So remember follow these quick tips the next time you fly and
you should be feeling great in the air and once you touch down
on the ground.
