Healthy Way to Fly

Stay-healthy tips (John Balmes, professor of environmental health sciences~University of California, Berkeley) :

Keep Clean

University of California, San Franciso, study reports we're at increased risk of catching cold and flu viruses during flights, due to the close quarters. Wash hands often, and if you're worried, wear a protective mask that's labelled N95. It screens out 95 per cent of airborne particles.

Bring Water

Researchers found bacteria such as E. Coli, know to cause duarhoea and nausea, in the water from galleys and skin in one of every seven planes.

Clear your Earrs

Changes in air pressure can suck the eardrum inward, and that hurts. A decongestant clears nasal passagesso pressure dosen't build up.

Get Up

When you sit for too long, blood pools in the legs and may lead to potentially deadly clots. Wear loose-fitting clothes and walk around the cabin an hour.
