6 Health-Boosting Hacks for Your Next International Flight

Here’s six great hacks you may or may not be able to use on your next international or long in-country flight:

1. Jet Lag Hack

  • Set your watch to the time it will be at your destination before departing and sleep/stay awake according to the time it will be at your destination.

2. Motion Sickness Hack

  • Eat pineapple for the bromelain it contains which helps relieve stomach upset and vertigo.

3. Ear Popping Hack

  • Use a saline nasal spray 20 minutes before takeoff.

4. Dry Eyes Hack (not sure why this was included)

  • Obviously if you wear contacts you know enough to take them out and put your glasses on to avoid dry eyes.

5. Muscle Cramp Hack

  • Roll up on your calves — extend your legs and squeeze your muscles often.

6. Germ Avoidance Hack

  • If you’re a germ-a-phobe, pack your own pillow and blanky — might as well pack your own food, plates and utensils while you’re at it!
