Aim for at least eight hours of sleep before you take off. If traveling across time zones, try to nap on the plane to help readjust your sleep schedule.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Drink Up<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Dehydration is common when flying because of the low humidity levels in airplane cabins, which can drop as low as 10% to 20%\u2015much drier than typical indoor environments. This dryness can disrupt sleep, worsen jet lag, and weaken the immune system. Begin increasing your water intake a few days before your flight and take regular sips of water throughout your time on the plane to stay hydrated.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cAvoiding caffeine and alcohol is also wise,\u201d Nicole recommends. \u201cBoth can dehydrate you and impair your cells\u2019 ability to absorb oxygen, which can make other symptoms worse.\u201d You may also want to skip beverages made with onboard water and ice and opt for cans and bottles instead, to avoid the potential exposure to bacteria.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Clean Up<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It\u2019s common to blame the air quality for unhealthy conditions, but we\u2019re just as likely to pick up germs from public surfaces touched by many others. Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer frequently, and consider carrying disposable wipes to sanitize tray tables, seat belts, and armrests in the plane.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Mask Up<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">While masks are no longer required for air travel, they remain a smart choice for those with compromised immune systems or chronic conditions that increase the risk of serious complications from COVID-19 or other illnesses. Additionally, if you\u2019re flying with a cold or another respiratory virus, wearing a mask is a thoughtful way to help prevent spreading germs to fellow travelers.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Stand Up<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cSitting for extended periods can cause stiffness\u202fand muscle soreness and impede circulation,\u201d Nicole says. \u201cIn extreme cases, decreased circulation can lead to deep vein thrombosis, or DVT, a blood clot in a vein located deep in your body that can lead to serious complications.\u201d Flexing your calf muscles, doing all-over body stretches, and walking up and down the plane aisle can help keep your muscles limber and your blood flowing. Even tapping your feet, which also moves the shins, thighs, and hip joints, can help.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Wear Compression Socks<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Compression socks are snug knee-high socks that help reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis by improving blood flow.

Pero por m\u00e1s alegres que puedan ser las reuniones navide\u00f1as, esta \u00e9poca del a\u00f1o trae consigo desaf\u00edos adicionales para mantenerse saludable, especialmente durante el apogeo de la temporada de gripe. Los aeropuertos abarrotados, las cabinas de avi\u00f3n confinadas y las superficies que no se limpian con regularidad pueden aumentar la exposici\u00f3n a la gripe, el VSR, la COVID-19, los &#8220;virus&#8221; estomacales y otros virus y bacterias.<\/p>\n<p>Para asegurarse de que sus viajes sean memorables por todas las razones correctas, aqu\u00ed le presentamos algunos consejos de expertos para mantenerse bien mientras vuela, desde reforzar su sistema inmunol\u00f3gico hasta mantenerse c\u00f3modo y evitar los g\u00e9rmenes en el camino.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hay dos factores principales para mantenerse saludable mientras vuela&#8221;, dice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/nicole-speechley-msn\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Nicole Speechley, APN, FNP-C<\/span><\/a>, enfermera de familia en <span data-contrast=\"auto\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care<\/a><\/span>. &#8220;Evitar el contacto con bacterias y virus y mantener un sistema inmunol\u00f3gico saludable para contrarrestar cualquiera con el que pueda entrar en contacto&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Descanse<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cUna buena noche de sue\u00f1o puede fortalecer su sistema inmunol\u00f3gico y hacerlo menos susceptible a las enfermedades\u201d, dice Nicole. Trate de dormir al menos ocho horas antes de despegar. Si viaja a trav\u00e9s de zonas horarias, trate de tomar una siesta en el avi\u00f3n para ayudar a reajustar su horario de sue\u00f1o.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Beber<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>La deshidrataci\u00f3n es com\u00fan durante los vuelos debido a los bajos niveles de humedad en las cabinas de los aviones, que pueden llegar a bajar hasta un 10% a un 20%, mucho m\u00e1s seco que los ambientes interiores t\u00edpicos. Esta sequedad puede alterar el sue\u00f1o, empeorar el jet lag y debilitar el sistema inmunol\u00f3gico. Comience a aumentar su consumo de agua unos d\u00edas antes de su vuelo y tome sorbos de agua regularmente durante su tiempo en el avi\u00f3n para mantenerse hidratado.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvitar la cafe\u00edna y el alcohol tambi\u00e9n es prudente\u201d, recomienda Nicole. \u201cAmbos pueden deshidratarlo y perjudicar la capacidad de sus c\u00e9lulas para absorber ox\u00edgeno, lo que puede empeorar otros s\u00edntomas\u201d. Tambi\u00e9n puede optar por evitar las bebidas hechas con agua y hielo a bordo y optar por latas y botellas en su lugar, para evitar el riesgo bacteriano.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Limpiar<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Es com\u00fan culpar a la calidad del aire por las condiciones insalubres, pero es igualmente probable que recojamos g\u00e9rmenes de las superficies que tocamos que han sido tocadas por tantas personas antes que nosotros. L\u00e1vese las manos o use desinfectante para manos con frecuencia y considere llevar toallitas desechables para desinfectar las mesas de las bandejas, los cinturones de seguridad y los apoyabrazos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use mascarilla<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Si bien las mascarillas ya no son obligatorias para viajar en avi\u00f3n, siguen siendo una opci\u00f3n inteligente para quienes tienen sistemas inmunol\u00f3gicos comprometidos o afecciones cr\u00f3nicas que aumentan el riesgo de complicaciones graves por COVID-19 u otras enfermedades. Adem\u00e1s, si viaja con un resfriado u otro virus respiratorio, usar una mascarilla es una forma considerada de ayudar a prevenir la propagaci\u00f3n de g\u00e9rmenes a otros viajeros.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ponte de pie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cEstar sentado durante per\u00edodos prolongados puede provocar rigidez y dolor muscular y dificultar la circulaci\u00f3n\u201d, afirma Nicole. \u201cEn casos extremos, la disminuci\u00f3n de la circulaci\u00f3n puede provocar una trombosis venosa profunda o TVP, un co\u00e1gulo de sangre en una vena ubicada en lo profundo del cuerpo que puede provocar complicaciones graves\u201d. Flexionar los m\u00fasculos de la pantorrilla, hacer estiramientos de todo el cuerpo y caminar de un lado a otro por el pasillo del avi\u00f3n puede ayudar a mantener los m\u00fasculos flexibles y la circulaci\u00f3n sangu\u00ednea. Incluso dar golpecitos con los pies, lo que tambi\u00e9n mueve las espinillas, los muslos y las articulaciones de la cadera, puede ayudar.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Usa medias de compresi\u00f3n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Las medias de compresi\u00f3n son medias ajustadas hasta la rodilla que ayudan a reducir el riesgo de trombosis venosa profunda al mejorar el flujo sangu\u00edneo. Al apretar suavemente las piernas, previenen la hinchaz\u00f3n y disminuyen la acumulaci\u00f3n de sangre, lo que hace que tus piernas se sientan m\u00e1s c\u00f3modas y menos cansadas al aterrizar.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Come una comida ligera y saludable antes del vuelo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Los cambios en la presi\u00f3n del aire durante un vuelo pueden hacer que el gas en el est\u00f3mago y los intestinos se expanda, lo que produce una hinchaz\u00f3n inc\u00f3moda. \u201cEs mejor evitar los alimentos con alto contenido de grasa o az\u00facar o que puedan causar gases\u201d, dice Nicole. \u201cOptar por una comida ligera y saludable que incluya prote\u00ednas magras, frutas y verduras no solo te mantendr\u00e1 c\u00f3modo, sino que tambi\u00e9n reforzar\u00e1 tu sistema inmunol\u00f3gico\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Volar suele ser la parte menos favorita de cualquier viaje, ya sea por placer o por negocios, pero con estos consejos centrados en la salud, puedes hacer que la experiencia sea m\u00e1s placentera y llegar sinti\u00e9ndote listo para las aventuras que te esperan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUn poco de preparaci\u00f3n ayuda mucho cuando se trata de mantenerse bien durante un viaje\u201d, dice Nicole. \u201cCon h\u00e1bitos simples como hidratarse, estirarse y reforzar su salud inmunol\u00f3gica, se sentir\u00e1 mejor cuando llegue a su destino.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a1Buen viaje y felices fiestas!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/nicole-speechley-msn\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Nicole Speechley, APN, FNP-C<\/span><\/a>, es una enfermera de familia que atiende a pacientes mayores de 18 a\u00f1os en Cooper Primary and Specialty Care en Voorhees.
