Tips for Healthy Travel

It is important to focus on your health and well-being when traveling.

• Stay hydrated
  Drink plenty of fluids, like water and fruit juice. Limit alcohol and caffeine intake - they cause dehydration. Also, apply moisturizing cream.
• Be careful when lifting
  Use both hands when retrieving objects from the overhead compartment to avoid strains and sprains.
• Increase circulation
  Breathe slowly and deeply to increase oxygen flow and help you relax. Avoid crossing your legs and stretch frequently.

You can also try:

• Ankle twirls
  Lift your feet and twirl your feet in a circular fashion for several seconds.
• Foot pumps
  Keep your heels on the floor and lift your toes as high as possible for a few seconds and repeat as desired.
• Knee lifts
  Hold your knee with both hands and lift your knee toward your chest. Hold this stretch for 15 seconds and let your knee down. Repeat with the other knee.
• Finger and toe stretch
  Clench fingers (toes) inward and then stretch them outward. Repeat several times with hands and feet.
• Shoulder rolls
  Lift your shoulders upward and then move them in a circular fashion for about 30 seconds.
• Neck roll
  Drop your right ear toward your right shoulder and gently roll your head forward to the left side. Then roll your head in the same fashion toward the right side. Repeat several times.
• Hug stretch
  Bring your right hand over your left shoulder and your left hand behind your right elbow. Gently pull the elbow toward your body and hold for a few seconds. Do the same with your left elbow. Repeat several times.
