Flight lossless health

Flight itself is a stressful event - still 10 thousand kilometers above the ground, in the "iron box" windswept meet ... But even if you move psychologically flight without any problems, physical body to react to it is still necessary. Hopefully some useful tips to help you survive the time in the air with ease and comfort!

Flight preparation should begin even on the ground. Whatever time of day or expected departure, pre-need to sleep, give your body a rest. Feverish charges on the eve of departure and abundant feast to a good flight is not exactly lead. It is best way to spend the day fasting by eating low-calorie foods, such as boiled meat or lean fish, vegetable salad. Moderation in food during the flight will help to avoid discomfort in the intestines, often occurs during heavy acceleration or inclines.

Notorious elevation, as well as a special microclimate in the plane (level of pressure below atmospheric air show at 160-200 mm Hg) require compliance with other rules and airfare .  Be sure to drink! At take-off, landing, turbulence, maneuvering the aircraft even in healthy human blood pressure failures happen .  Bring the body into shape helps clean drinking water .  Also, water and other soft drinks can help to overcome the "drought": humidity in the aircraft is 4-5 times lower than on the ground that quickly leads to dehydration .  To all recruitment inconvenience add limited space in the aircraft seating and movement and as a result - stagnation and pinching the veins in the lower limbs, with the possible formation of blood clots .  To avoid problems with the legs will again water qs .  That is why the drink spread on board during all flights, regardless of its duration .

With regard to alcohol, which allegedly "relieves stress", it absolutely can not drink. Have pity on your body, which did not receive the necessary additional load during the flight! Yes, vessels for some time to expand, but in a flight to happen very soon, their sharp narrowing. Coupled with the already mentioned a sitting position, which interferes with the normal circulation, vasoconstriction can lead to sudden oxygen deficiency. Why expose yourself to this danger at such a height, in the absence of immediate medical attention?

And the excitement and fear of flying, as proven by psychologists, alcohol is not adequately removed. It is better to drink water or tea distracted by music or a movie, take a breath, to be done in a sitting position available exercises (rotation of the hands and feet, bent his head and the like).

Clothing should also contribute to the comfortable air travel. Ideal spacious, not snare things made of natural fabrics, shoes without heels and with the ability to effortlessly remove it during the flight. By the way, it is very convenient to take with you on board warm socks (if they are not offered in the airline "set passenger"), and put them in place even a very comfortable shoe. I remember the blood circulation, which in no way should be difficult!

Attention during the flight, and require the nasal mucosa and skin. Not that they face something terrible, but because of the dry air, they lose moisture, difficulty breathing, skin dries. From time to time, especially on long-haul routes, the nose of irrigated saline (such as "akvamaris").

When the pressure drops by during the flight there will be a feeling that laid the ears should be well yawn or suck on candy, then the discomfort disappears. The skin of the face and hands, you can moisten the towels, put the cream, apply on the eyelids herbal extract impregnated cotton swabs.

And most importantly, it will comfortably survive the flight - do not hesitate to contact the staff! The button above the seat makes it possible, without getting up, invite a stewardess. Do I need to water, a blanket or any other help - ask. Flight attendants perform their direct responsibilities (by the way, you paid when purchasing the ticket) - provide the passenger a pleasant journey.

Take the road (things that may be needed during the flight):

• soft warm socks
• inflatable pillow under his head, blindfold for sleeping
• moisturizing nasal spray
• moisturizer for hands and face
