10 Travel Health Tips In The Plane

10 Travel Health Tips In The Plane
By Hisham H.

Traveling in a plane at the economy or coach section for a long period of time can sometimes be very stressful to health. The few tips below will ease your flight experience.

Drink plenty of water and if you wish take alcohol, consume moderately.

Keep a water bottle handy, get it refilled from time to time to always have water to drink at your convenience.

Eat light meal in the flight. Take snacks like fruits, cheese and crackers between meals.

Bring extra cushion or travel pillow for neck and back support. One pillow provided in the plane is not sufficient.

Wear eye shades and ear plugs to rest more peacefully.

Wear a comfortable light jumper or cardigan to keep warm, cabin temperature is usually set at 22 to 24 degrees Celsius (72 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit).

Apply a lot of moisturizer on the skin, especially on the face and hands to avoid dryness of the skin.

Use lip balm to keep the lips moisturized.

If you are wearing makeup, do not remove it before rest. It keeps the skin from losing moisture in the flight.

Walk around constantly whenever possible to improve blood circulation. This will avoid DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis).

Hope these tips will make your next flight a pleasant one!
