Tips for Healthy Travel
May 21, 2009
Before Your Trip
Here are just a few precautions you can take ahead of time:
- Make sure your immunizations are current.
- If possible, delay your trip if you’re not feeling well.
- If you’re prone to air sickness, ask for a window seat over the wing.
- If you have any health questions, or if you suffer from a chronic ailment, motion sickness, or fear of flying, ask for advice from your physician.
- Stress is bad for you. Reduce stress by allowing plenty of time to check in and reach your departure gate.
- Always carry your medication with you in your carry on luggage—never pack it in baggage you’re planning to check.
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing and shoes for your flight.
- Make sure your carry on luggage has nothing breakable in it making sure that they are sealed properly in a plastic container.
During Your Trip
Here are a few things you can do to feel good while you’re flying:
- Eat lightly during your flight.
- Stay hydrated while you fly.
- Leave room under the seat in front of you so you can stretch out your legs.
- If conditions permit, try to stand up and walk around the cabin every once in a while.
