How does your body feel in the sky?

Do you know how our body reacts to flying on an airplane? We found some interesting facts especially for you!
Even the most patient people are getting nervous during the flight. The reason is they can not control their safety. It's all up to the pilot, the plane and the sky.
You can avoid anxiety by sleeping soundly, watching a film or reading an interesting book.
You may notice your ears popping during the flight, due to changes of pressure onboard a plane. Neglecting the discomfort would lead to temporary hearing impartment.
In this case you'd better induce salivation by chewing a hard candy or a gum. Swallowing lets some air out and reliefs the symptoms.
For the same reason, floating in the sky, you may experience a toothache.
You should go to your dentist before boarding as even small orifices may cause pain.
The third reason your body reacts to flying on an airplane is dehydration. It causes bad smell from the mouth as our body produces less saliva. When we have not enough saliva in the mouth cavity it results in a growth of bacteria.
It will be better to have some healthy food before the flight or chew a gum aboard.
Dehydration may also cause acne and skin flaking.
Moisturizing cream can save your skin from such an unpleasantness.
One more factor influencing our body aboard is lack of mobility. Blood stagnation comes when you do not walk and can not properly stretch your legs for a long time. This can cause swelling and even clotting.
Avoid the problem by stretching your legs from time to time.
The most harmless symptom you get on a plane is that your taste temporary changes. Scientists found out that taste preferences during the flight differ from those you have on the ground. They say that taste perception depends upon the environment in which we consume food. For example, people with a sweet tooth can suddenly have a strange desire for tomato juice.
Most of us at least once in a lifetime use airline service. We do care and hope that the info will make your travels more comfortable!

My ears do pop, but nothing else is relevant to me.

Grant McIntosh, Good luck with that!

🥺Yes popping ears and I lost my hearing when I landed. My Doctor told me to put cotton wool in my ears and chew something while on flight. I also experienced my legs has swollen so every time I traveled by plain I wore stockings and it helped.

I have issues with ear popping and hurting for about 3 days and someone told me to take Sudafed for a few days before I fly so I tried it and was so much better still popped some but my ear were fine shortly after landing so much better than hurting for days

I've always had the problem of getting my ears to pop. The last time I flied it took 3 days to get them to open back up.

I could not wear shoes for 3 days after a flight my ankles swell so much and hurt so much, until I used compression socks, problem solved. I still hate flying, especially long journeys.

A few little discomfort when you’re planning a great trip doesn’t hurt.
Sandra Mcnamara
I like to keep my feet on the ground
Grant McIntosh
Think I'll walk.
Lynda Walsh Vanderkooi
Not sure why that guy said bullshit? I’ve had ear popping. Plus I knew someone who flew back from Scotland, and passed away two days later from blood clots. Wonder if from the flight?

I'm a small-aircraft pilot and I am certified in aerobatics, all of which combined enable me to sleep like a rock on a smooth, high-altitude passenger jet trip - no having to divert from bad weather and no inverted flight

Some more points should have been added. For example flight fobia. Some people will have apprehension while taking off the plane to an altitude it required to fly. While descending viz., flight on its way for grounding some people feel uneasiness. These are the things to be dwelt with in detail.

I flew from Boston to California, and then to New Zealand a night flight slept most of way!!
Mark Francisco
Defo dehydration with me.

Sally Walsh...My Home Town is 2,246 miles from where I live now. Thank goodness for layovers! If my family only lived 600-700 miles from me, I'd probably just drive home, to visit them, but it would take me 2, to 3, days to drive from Oregon to Tennessee. ✈️ 🚘
