Health Tips |
|
|
The Chinese New Year period is a busy travel season, and despite the fact most people don't have any problems when they fly, it is possible to make airplane travel safer and more comfortable. Here are some tips:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Medication
• Take along enough of your medications in your carry-on luggage.
• Bring enough medicine to last your whole trip.
• Pack extra medicine with you in case your return trip is delayed.
|
|
The air in airplanes is dry, so stick with non-alcoholic, decaffeinated beverages and water to avoid becoming dehydrated.
|
|
Jet lag avoidance
• Get plenty of sleep before you leave.
• Don't drink a lot of alcohol.
• Eat well-balanced meals.
• Avoid over-eating
• Exercise as much as you can on your trip.
• Get used to a new time zone by going along with the local meal and bedtime schedules.
|
|
Pain in ears
• Swallow often and chew gum during the flight.
• Babies can suck on bottles or pacifiers during the flight.
|
|
|
|
An important thing to note for all diving enthusiasts! It's dangerous to fly immediately after scuba diving. You'll need to wait 12 to 24 hours after diving. Ask your doctor or diving authorities for guidelines on flying after scuba diving.
