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.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Oranges. Oranges are full of Vitamin C, which helps to ward off illness and makes you feel energized and rejuvenated.
4. 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.

If your kids are still very young, they’ll love this simple art project that uses beautiful fall leaves. Start by taking your children outside to collect as many leaves as they can. Next, press the leaves underneath a piece of paper and rub with a crayon to create an artistic imprint of each unique shape.

You've likely heard some buzz about 3D printing, a new form of technology that's anticipated to have a major influence on our world. These printers are not just putting ink to paper; instead, they are building an object by layering material, like plastic, and then fine-tuning the design with lasers. The result is a three-dimensional, fully functional object! Read on to find more facts about 3D printers.

1) Add and subtract. 3D printers are classified as additive manufacturing because, quite simply, successive layers of material create the finished product. Conversely, manufacturing techniques such as sawing and milling are known as subtractive manufacturing.

2) The possibilities are endless. From mugs, models, and jewelry to machine parts and toys, many things can be created through 3D printing. In fact, the health care industry has already embraced this technology to create replacement jawbones and hips. Resin, metal, and plaster represent some of the materials used in 3D printing.

3) Pros and cons. 3D printing begins to raise the question of intellectual property. Since you can print whatever you want, what is stopping someone from recreating something that's already on the market? In the future, if printers are made more widely available, this might become an issue. A less pressing drawback of 3D printing is that it takes time: Even small items can take up to two hours to print!
