How to get to your destination feeling fresh and relaxed

1. BE PREPARED
Get a good night's sleep before you travel, eat a light meal and get some exercise before arriving at the terminal.

2. DRESS LOW
Wear clothes and shoes that are not too restrictive loose and comfortable.

3. HYDRATE YOURSELF
On long trips low humidity in the cabin can cause dry eyes, nose and throat. Drink plenty of water and fruit juices (keep alcohol, tea and coffee to a minimum, as they can lead to dehydration). If possible, remove contact lenses and apply a skin moisturizer and lip balm.

4. Under Pressure?
Sometimes your ears can feel blocked during takeoff and landing. To help relieve the pressure, try sucking on a candy or yawning.

5. Keep Moving!
Keep your blood flowing by getting up and walking down the aisle whenever possible. Doing a few simple stretching exercises in your seat every few hours will make you feel much more refreshed when you arrive. Flex different muscles in your feet, legs, arms, shoulders and neck. Slow circulation causes fatigue, muscle cramps and water retention (the cause of foot swelling). It can also lead to the formation of blood clots, which can be dangerous if they move to a vital organ.

6. Eat Right
Eat a light, balanced meal before you move and help one smaller than usual on the plane. avoid salt, sugar and dairy products too much - and also try to stay away from soft drinks and carbonated foods. Moderate your intake of alcohol, tea and coffee, and drink plenty of water throughout the flight. Eating and drinking in excess, or consuming the wrong types of food, can lead to indigestion and uncomfortable bloating.

7. Stay Focused
If you are prone to motion sickness during takeoff, landing or turbulence, focus on a fixed object. Some people believe that applying pressure to your earlobes can reduce nausea.

8. Monitor your body clock
When you travel across time zones your body's sleep rhythms can become disrupted, leading to insomnia, loss of appetite and fatigue. Prepare your body clock by getting a good night's sleep before your flight. Try to give yourself a few relaxing days to adjust to new day and night cycles when you arrive. On quick trips, try to adjust your diet and sleep patterns before you leave home.
