4 Health tips for Airplane travel
It is very important to maintain a healthy body even during travels. Certain health precautions and preparations prior to the trip are needed to ensure a healthy and illness free travel. Of course, everyone wants to return home in the same state of health and disease free. We don’t want to acquire certain diseases that you can get during travels. And of course, we don’t want additional bills due to health problems acquired during a trip. Avoiding all of these problems is very easy if you know how to. That is why I listed below some easy measures that you can follow to have a safe and healthy trip.
1. Hydrate your body by taking in large amount of water: Humidity is higher inside the plane as compared to that in the desert. Caffeinated and alcoholic drinks dehydrate the body faster, so stay away from drinks like cola, beer, iced tea and such. If you can’t fight the temptation in drinking these kinds of beverages, be sure to take a lot of water to compensate to the expected dehydration.
2. Herbal supplements and your daily vitamins can help: I’ve heard a lot of good things from fellow travelers about vitamins and dietary supplements like “Airborne”. This helps the body to fight against health problems that you may get in plane trips.
3. Have a lot of rest: Have enough sleep the night before your flight schedule. If your flight arrives at night, this will help you get some sleep at the place of your destination. On the other hand, if your flight arrives in the morning this will ensure you that you can sleep in the evening and stay awake during day time. This will avoid problems in your normal circadian rhythm or your normal internal clock and the body’s sleep wake cycle.
4. Avoid infection and germs: One of the most crowded places in the world is air ports and airplanes as well. People are too close to each other which increase the risk for the spread of infection. This is always true unless you are in the First class accommodation. You may also bring hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes to avoid infection, you may also want to wipe your seat and seat belts to kill germs and bacteria. To prevent airborne bacteria from infecting you, you can cover both your mouth and nose with clean handkerchief or wear a mask.
With all these suggestions, you can be sure that you can stay healthy and avoid health problems during trips and travels.
