Here are some more tips to help you to maintain your health while flying. Many of us will be flying this summer, and it's important to think about ways to make your flight comfortable and healthy.
1. Walk walk walk. Yes, you can feel badly for the poor person sitting on the aisle seat - but you didn't ask to have the window, so it's not your fault. It's very important to walk around during a flight. Every hour you need to get up and stretch your legs. If you can, you should take a walk around the plane and get your circulation going. This is very important for your legs, your veins and your circulation. Keep moving!
2. Moving even when you can't move. Even when you are seated, you should keep yourself moving to remain flexible and comfortable. Roll your legs and ankles in your seat. Roll your head and your wrists. Keep your body agile and moving during the flight so that you keep your circulation going and keep yourself comfortable.
3. Bathroom. Make sure to drink a lot on the flight and to make bathroom trips whenever you need to. This may sound obvious, but it's very important. Some people don't want to bother their seat mates, and they will just remain in their seats. It's important to drink, to get up to move around, and to go to the bathroom.
Use these tips and have a successful time travelling this summer. Enjoy!

More Flight Strategies
It's often difficult to maintain your health and to feel good while on a flight. The air is dry, everyone is breathing into the same system and the flight can wear you down. Here are some tips to try to stay refreshed and feeling great, even on a long flight.
1. Bring a moisturizer with you. Planes are incredibly dry. Bring a moisturizer on the flight with you - both for your hands and legs and for your lips. This will help you to prevent chapped lips and to keep your body moisturized throughout the flight.
2. Use a sleeping mask. Sometimes on flights they give you an eye patch to place over your eyes so that you can sleep. Most regular flights, however, don't' give you anything like this. Bring along something to cover your eyes (and to put in your ears) if this will help you to sleep. The more you sleep on a flight, and the more refreshed you are after the flight, the better you'll feel.
3. Water - drink a lot of water during a flight to keep your body replenished. Get up every so often and ask the flight attendant for some water. Sometimes they will even give you an entire bottle if you bother them enough! Drink drink and drink...it's very important.
Keep these three tips with you and enjoy your travel this summer! Bon Voyage!
