As You Prepare To Fly This Summer, Get Your Body Ready So You Enjoy Your Flight — And The Entire Trip. One Way Is With IV Therapy In Sugar Land, TX.
But with the opportunity to take time away from the hustle and bustle of life comes increased exposure to germs, possible air sickness, and dreaded jet lag if you plan to fly.
However, taking some precautions before your trip can help ensure safe, happy, and healthy travels, especially if you visit Dr. Shel for IV therapy in Sugar Land, TX.
Be ready from take-off to landing and the return flight home with some prep.
Go to Bed Early the Night Before
So many aspects of your health need you to get adequate rest regularly. Add preparing for a flight to that list.
Ultimately, you’ll feel better during your flight, and if you’re traveling across multiple time zones, there’s already a possibility you’re going to feel tired and out of sorts. By sleeping enough before the flight, you’ll lessen the effects.
Not to mention, you’ll be more ready to enjoy exploring a new area if you’re feeling well-rested.
Eat a Light Meal First
Even a short flight will feel like a lifetime if you’re hungry. You can also avoid paying those airplane prices by eating before you travel. It’ll help to bring a snack with you as well.
“Why?” you ask.
First and foremost, as the cabin pressure changes, so does the gas in your digestive system.
Once it expands, you may feel crampy or bloated, and you’ll only exacerbate the problem by eating a large meal first. Moreover, consuming a small meal of a complex carb, light protein, etc., will reduce your chances of nausea.
You also don’t want sugar spikes and drops during the flight because it may make you feel more tired or irritable.
Try to Stay Active
At the airport, before you’re ready to board, try to get up and move rather than stay seated the entire time. You’ll improve your circulation and keep your muscles from getting stiff.
On the flight, take advantage of any time the seatbelt sign is off, especially because that might not be how your entire flight goes.
Get up and go to the bathroom or walk back and forth in the aisle a few times, which helps prevent muscle soreness and keeps your circulation flowing. It can also ease boredom, a common problem on even short flights.
Avoid Alcohol Before and During Your Flight
Research shows that 25 million adults in the U.S. alone have a fear of flying. While no studies show just how many people turn to a few drinks the night before, or the day of, to ease their minds, it’s a safe bet that some are. You’ve probably even seen that with your own eyes.
While liquor may very well calm your nerves, it can contribute to dehydration, particularly when you’re at a high altitude. As it makes you sleepy, you could find it amplifies your jet lag once its effects wear off.
Pack Your Carry-On or Personal Item Appropriately
If you paid for a personal item and/or carry-on, pack it to ensure you have a comfortable flight, not just for more space to carry your luggage, especially if you’ll be in the air for a while.
Some examples of what to pack include:
- Disinfectant wipes
- Snacks (nuts, fruits, veggies, cheese sticks, or granola bars)
- Water bottle (fill after you pass through TSA)
- Tablet and/or book
- Eye drops (to combat dry eye)
Consider IV Therapy
You’ll be in a small space with germs for however many hours. That’s not counting being in the airports and exploring a new place, both of which can mean you’re at risk of coming in contact with viruses and bacteria.
While most people will beat the pathogens, it’s best not to let your guard down. Instead, build up your defenses so you shield yourself from those microorganisms.
Eating a healthy diet and getting enough rest are part of the equation, but you can go the extra mile to boost your body’s natural protection.
How?
With IV therapy in Sugar Land, TX, for one!
