🌺 Healthy Plane Travel Tips🌺
along with a 🎨 colorful infographic I received in my email inbox. We all know what it’s like to be confined in small spaces when flying for hours on end. Being stuck in a cramped airplane with limited fresh air, can be a recipe for illness.🤒

Well I certainly know I have in years past, so my wife and I take extra care and precautions, to help prevent getting ill.

Plane Travel the Healthy Way
What To Wear & How To Prepare For Your Flight
When taking those 🛫 long haul flights, you certainly want to be as comfortable as possible. I like to dress casually, but comfortably. If traveling to a hot tropical climate, I make sure I have a pair of shorts and light shirt in my carry on baggage, ready to put on either; before landing and/or in the 🧳 baggage claim area.
I always make sure I have a clean pair of socks on, so I can remove my shoes while in flight.

Healthy Plane Travel Tips – Get Up And Stretch
One of the most important things you definitely should do on longer flights and especially those 4 hours or longer, is to 🚶 get up and move around. Be sure to check out my post on …
and why it is so important for your overall health.
For a number of years now, we always carry a small bottle of hand sanitizer and/or wipes with us on all our travels. It’s so important to wash and sanitize your hands often and keep your hands away from your face & eyes. This is especially important, when in public places and touching things that are well used by others.
On our long haul flights, my wife and I have made a point of drinking lots of water, during our flight. I do find it makes you feel better, keeps you well hydrated and makes you get up and move, to go to the 🚻 washroom more often.
So consume lots of water, its a win win deal!
Tips For Avoiding Jet Lag
I have always found overnight red-eye flights to be the absolute worst for jet lag. It totally disrupts your regular 😴 sleep pattern and there is no easy cure. I have found the best way for me to combat this is to; try to catch a nap on the plane and drink plenty of water, to keep hydrated and refreshed.
I then try to adapt to the ⏰ time zone I am in, as quickly as possible. What works for me, may not work for you. If you have any better ideas, please share them with us, we would love to know!

Again, this chart points out the importance of hydrating your body, both during and after your flight. Your body will dehydrate on those long flights and if you choose to enjoy 🍺 alcoholic beverages during travel,

Just a few extra tips to help keep you feeling better and healthier on those flights, especially ones extending more than four hours. Remember to get up out of your seat, stretch and move around. Try to drink as much water as you possibly can, during your flight.
