Plane Health

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!
