Even the most seasoned air travelers can experience some stomach discomfort during flight, which results in a not-so-pleasant flying experience. These wholesome foods are proven to keep you feeling your best while flying, especially if your flight is more than a few hours long.
- Protein-rich foods. Foods that are high in protein help to keep you feeling fuller for longer, so you won’t disrupt your fellow passengers when your stomach starts to rumble. Trying lean meats, nuts, or peanut butter spread on a few high-protein crackers.
- Smoothies. Drinking a smoothie in the car to the airport or at the terminal will ensure a smooth, comfortable flight. These healthy drinks are an easy way to get the vitamins and nutrients from lots of different fruits all in one gulp.
- Oranges. Oranges are full of Vitamin C, which helps to ward off illness and makes you feel energized and rejuvenated.
- Water with lemon. If you’re going on a long flight where jet lag seems unavoidable, try drinking water with freshly squeezed lemon before and during your flight. Staying hydrated is one of the best ways to avoid fatigue, and the lemon offers antibacterial properties that benefit every traveler.
