Health Tips for Frequent Flyers

Though frequent travel can be stressful, it can also provide a means to explore new people, places, cultures and foods. Here are a few more tips to help you enjoy your many trips.

• Wherever you go, find some time to engage in something pleasurable – a massage, some sightseeing, a dip in the pool or a local cultural event.

• Make sure you get the proper amount of sleep – sleep helps the body to rest and rejuvenate for the next activity. If you’re crossing time zones, this is especially important.

• Make sure you take the time to eat well. Try some local cuisine. Ask business associates or hotel staff to recommend some good eateries for you to try. Refrain from overeating and drinking too much alcohol.

If you’re a frequent flyer, make the best of it and remember to come in for your chiropractic adjustments often. Why? Regular care can help you better accommodate stress, whether from trains, planes or automobiles.
