Introduction: Some people are more prone to motion sickness. To avoid discomfort during air travel, it is important to follow three precautions:
First, avoid eating too much. The conditions at high altitude can cause food to produce a large amount of gas in the body. Eating too much not only increases the burden on the heart and blood circulation but can also lead to "flight sickness" such as nausea, vomiting, and motion sickness.
Second, avoid eating foods that are high in fiber or likely to produce gas. At an altitude of 5,000 meters, the amount of gas in the human body doubles compared to ground level. Consuming such foods can intensify the feeling of chest tightness and bloating during the flight.
Third, avoid eating foods that are too greasy or contain a large amount of animal protein. Although these foods may not seem like much, they are difficult to empty from the stomach. In the air, they can also cause the stomach and intestines to expand.
For passengers on an airplane, due to changes in altitude, temperature, and air pressure, the body requires more energy during the flight. Therefore, it is essential to consume high-calorie foods in your diet to maintain health. Generally, 1-1.5 hours before boarding, you can choose to eat foods according to your specific situation; such as bread, pastries, noodles, yogurt, green leafy vegetables, lean meat, animal liver, preserved fruits, fruits, etc.
