Getting sick while on an airplane is always a concern. You don’t want to be uncomfortable in the tight space and you certainly don’t want to inconvenience your fellow travelers. In an effort to avoid feeling sick, consider snacking on these foods before leaving 7 Seventy:
- Protein-rich foods. If you load up on high-protein foods, chances are you will feel fuller longer. As a result, your stomach won’t growl and that nauseous feeling that comes along with an empty stomach will stay away. Eat some nuts, peanut butter, or lean meals before takeoff.
- Smoothies. Smoothies are easy to make and they are the perfect on-the-go drinks. You can enjoy this healthy snack on your way to the airport, and at the same time, up on nutrients and vitamins.
- Oranges. Oranges are packed with vitamin C. Thanks to this nutrient, you should feel energized after eating an orange or two. Oh, and as a traveler you’ll be glad to know vitamin C is known to prevent sickness.
- Lemon-flavored. Jet lag, oftentimes, is unavoidable. However, to make your flight and the first few days of your trip more manageable, drink some water with freshly squeezed lemon beforehand. The lemon consists of antibacterial properties and the water can help prevent fatigue.
