Traveling Healthy By Judi Janofsky & Rich Steck Long flights and long trips can be exhausting on the body - causing your resistance to be low enough to catch colds or just generally feel bad. Not a way you want to spend your vacation. There are some things you can do to help avoid health issues. Here are a few tips for traveling healthy. On the Airplane - Circulation. To improve your circulation and reduce chances of developing blood clots, wear loose-fitting clothing, drink lots of water and walk around the plane, stretching at least once every two hours. If you're at higher risk - that is, over 60 or have heart disease, varicose veins, obese, pregnant or had surgery recently, wear support hose available at most drugstores, or talk to your doctor about getting an injection of a blood thinner just before you fly. - Prone to earaches? Try taking a decongestant before you take off. While this may help for adults, according to at least one recent study, it's not effective for kids. When flying with children, have them chew gum or a snack. Infants should suck on a bottle or sippy cup, especially during the descent. - Healthy Food. Airline food is loaded with salt, calories and fat (about 60% of the calories are from fat). Either request a special meal (vegetarian, diabetic or low-salt) from the airline at last 24-hours in advance, or bring your own food. (We like to prepare a delicious picnic and indulge in a fun, healthy meal while onboard.) - Alcohol. We know it's hard to do, but pass up alcohol and caffeine, which can dehydrate you and lead to headaches and excessive jetlag. - Breathing. Breathe through your nose rather than your mouth. This will help filter the re-circulated air and reduce the threat of airborne germs. Once You Arrive - Jet Lag. Jet lag can really disrupt the body's circadian rhythm. To help avoid it, reset your watch to the destination time and immediately get into the routine of the meals and sleep time of the country you're visiting. Outdoor exercise can help reset your body's internal clock. ...More Recent Articles |
