Guest guest Posted February 26, 2003 Report Share Posted February 26, 2003 Don't forget the other practical safety tips for flying healthy. Rest well before your trip so you don't get run down. People often get so wrought up and stressed prior to thier trip they are already worn out before they arrive. Plan and pack ahead of time so you don't pull a panicky all nighter.Arrive early, better to sit and read quietly than stress out in line if security is slow. Pack light, porters are often in short supply now with security restrictions. Comfortable shoes are a must when traveling, no tight clothes to restrict circulation. Drink a LOT of water avoid caffiene and alcohol in flight...too dehydrating. Carry your own water bottles, don't drink the stuff from the faucet on the plane. Pack some fruit for a snack in flight. You can't get it thru customs, but it sure is better than any airplane or airport snacks. Take some extra C and use a little moisture in you nostrils if your nose feels dry and moisturize your skin well before you leave. There is almose no humidity on a plane. My Dr once taught me to " snuffle " a little lightly salted water to help rinse out my nose. People forget how many organisms are caught up in thier noses! Shower when you arrive. Stretch a little and breathe in some fresh air. If nothing else, it helps relieve the fatigue and tension you may have picked up en route, and we all know that releasing stress helps your immune system!
