To adapt well to long flights

According to the European Union Aviation Safety Agency, a long-haul flight is a continuous, non-stop flight lasting 6 hours or more. As aviation technology develops, ultra-long flights of up to 12 hours have also appeared, according to the health website Healthline (USA).

Pressure changes in airplane cabins can trigger joint pain in people with arthritis

Long-haul flights can cause the following problems for the body:

Dehydration

Planes usually circulate fresh air into the cabin, which makes the air fresher. But because the air at high altitudes has less humidity, the air in the cabin is drier. This can lead to dehydration. Dehydration can lead to a number of unpleasant symptoms, including dull headaches, reduced blood flow, and sometimes feeling dizzy and tired.

To avoid this, people should avoid drinking alcohol, coffee or other caffeinated drinks. Drinking more water is a good way to prevent dehydration.

Digestive problems

The gut is one of the most nerve-rich areas in the body, so disruptions to your daily routine, such as travel or long-haul flights, can cause gut problems such as indigestion.

For flights lasting more than 10 hours, passengers will need to eat on the flight. If they eat dry foods, which contain little fiber, combined with dehydration, this can lead to constipation. To prevent this, it is a good idea to bring some of the foods we eat every day.

Joint pain

The biggest impact on the musculoskeletal system when we are in an airplane is the change in pressure. These pressure changes can impact the gas bubbles in the synovial fluid of the joints. This can trigger pain in people with underlying joint problems, such as arthritis.

Nausea

Some people are prone to feeling nauseous when flying. To reduce this motion sickness, experts recommend leaning back in your seat at an angle of about 30 degrees and looking straight ahead. This is the ideal position for the vestibular system in the inner ear to adjust and adapt to changes in the surrounding movement, according to Healthline.
