Coffee drinking is a habit of many people, but coffee also makes you need to go to the toilet more and have difficulty sleeping.
Tracy Lockwood Beckerman, a nutritionist in New York, USA, said it is very important to ensure health for a trip, especially when traveling by plane. Therefore, you need to pay attention to choosing foods that help the immune system work well, the body is sufficiently hydrated and easy to digest.
During the epidemic, many airlines have cut off serving meals on short flights to minimize contact, in order to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
Dehydration occurs when flying is very common, due to dry air, lack of humidity in the cabin. So it's not smart to eat high-sodium foods before you fly.
This beverage has a diuretic and sobering effect. But that means you will often have to get up to go to the bathroom and have trouble sleeping. This causes many inconveniences for passengers.
Some people experience gas and bloating when traveling by plane. It is the result of pressure changes in the passenger compartment. Carbonated drinks should be avoided as they can cause indigestion and bloating. But according to Jonathan Valdez, another nutritionist, carbonated drinks help people with motion sickness feel good. "So let's weigh their pros and cons to decide."
Drinking alcohol tends to cause dehydration, which affects the body because the pressure in the cabin and blood oxygen levels are lower than at ground level, making you more likely to get drunk, and to urinate more often. In addition to health issues, personal comfort, saying no to alcohol before boarding the plane also helps guests stay awake and avoid disturbances caused by drunkenness while in the sky. President of the American Association of Flight Attendants Sara Nelson once said that many incidents of disturbances have a large "contribution" from beer and alcohol.
In addition, Brussels sprouts (stomach cabbage), onions, asparagus, cabbage, cauliflower are also things to be avoided. These foods take longer for the body to digest, leading to bloating and discomfort. Fast food is also an extended name on the list to avoid.
Basically, if you want to reduce any risk of physical discomfort while flying, try to simplify your eating and drinking on the day you fly, according to experts. Should choose light, light and fresh snacks such as fruits and vegetables to avoid headaches caused by dehydration, constipation, and fatigue.
The most suitable time is to eat at home, before the flight. Your body has enough time to digest the food, resulting in a less bloated stomach. In addition, you do not need to remove your mask to eat in front of crowds at the airport. This is especially useful in the current epidemic situation.
If you can't eat at home, try to prepare your meals at least an hour before your flight. At this point, the body has partially digested the food, and in an emergency, the airport toilet can be used.
