How To Stay Healthy When Travelling On A Plane

• Your best bet to stay healthy while travelling on a plane is to board healthy. A strong immune system is the No. 1 defence against germs. • Here are a few tips to keep in mind to stay healthy when flying.

Wipe Down Your Seat With Antibacterial Wipes • People might think you have obsessive compulsive disorder. But you should not bother. • Wiping down your seat with antibacterial wipes is a must as your seat can have traces of faecal matter and all kinds of bacteria.

• Most of the times the cleaning crew get time only to pick up the garbage. • So wipe down not only your seat and armrest but also your seat belt.

While Sneezing Cover Your Nose With A Tissue • Just don’t sneeze into your hands. After sneezing you will touch other things and spread viruses or bacteria.

• That way you will also make others sick. Use a tissue, always.

Stay Hydrated • This is an oft heard advice. Staying hydrated is not just essential to prevent your skin from drying. • Drinking sufficient fluid helps you from catching something nasty.

• The air inside a plane is very, very dry and it dries out your nose, throat and lungs • The body tries to cure this problem with a runny nose. And a runny nose is a breeding ground for bacteria.

Watch What You Eat • Plane food can carry bacteria, and this is especially the case if there are too many spices in the food. • This is because the spices used in plane food are imported from faraway places and can have all kinds of germs.

Don’t Trust The Tap Water • The tanks are filled during servicing at all possible places. While flying, don’t ever drink the water offered to you in a cup. Stick to bottled water instead.

• Also, after using the bathroom make sure you wash your hands with a lot of soap or use antibacterial wipes.

Get Your Shots A Few Days In Advance • This is essential to build immunity. However, you will have to take it at least a week in advance to get full protection.

Don’t Touch Anything • Keep your hands to yourself. After touching all the stuff on the plane you will end up touching your face or nose, and you will come into contact with disease causing germs.

• The less you touch the more are your chances of staying healthy.
