Stay Healthy En Route With These Energizing Travel Tips

Travel can be unkind to your body. As you age, jet lag may hit you harder, exposure to foreign germs may frighten you, and an exotic diet may make you queasy.

What’s the key to carefree travels? Beyond following a few basic healthy habits—getting enough rest, drinking plenty of water, eating wisely, and doing some form of exercise—there are several natural solutions that can give you a leg up on traveling, leaving you refreshed and able to enjoy any vacation or business trip to the fullest.

TRAVEL HAZARD:

POOR LEG CIRCULATION

One of the most alarming possible risks frequent travelers face is deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a serious condition involving blood clots in the legs. These clots can break away and travel through the bloodstream to the lungs, causing potentially fatal pulmonary embolism. Sitting for an extended period of time while riding in a car or airplane appears to raise the risk of DVT.

NATURAL SOLUTIONS:

To reduce DVT risk in flight, it’s important to regularly change your leg positions and periodically move and stretch your legs and feet while seated by rotating your ankles and flexing and stretching your calf and thigh muscles. Drinking plenty of non-diuretic fluids (e.g., water, decaffeinated teas) is also vital.
