]]>No one wants to feel bloated while sitting in a cramped plane seat. To prevent the discomfort (of the bloating, not the seat), avoid anything fizzy before take-off. Air pressure decreases at higher altitudes, which means that gas—including the kind in your tummy—will expand on the plane.
We’re not suggesting that you eat bland food, but it’s best to stay away from anything that is very high in sodium. Excessive salt can lead to swelling, as well as dehydration, which do not make for a comfy flight.
Opting for salad may seem like a good idea, but the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advises that it may actually be healthier to avoid salad. Raw leafy greens and vegetables, like those found at salad bars, may have hidden germs that, when eaten uncooked, can lead to food poisoning. Not fun.

]]>It’s a little easier if you’re in a car, because you can bring as much liquid as you want, but in an airport, you can only bring 3.5 oz.
Instead, if you want a coffee or a tea, bring instant coffee in little baggie or a bag of tea through security and ask for hot water once you’re through security! Most places will even give it to you for free!
The key to travel snacks is to bring things that aren’t messy and don’t squish easily. The best idea is to bring pre-cut fruits and veggies so you don’t have to mess around with trying to eat them in a neat way. Apples, berries, and carrots are always a good way to go.
If you’re going to be on a long flight and want to make sure you’re eating healthy, the best thing to do is to bring some roasted veggies and dried-but-seasoned couscous in a glass container.
Just ask for a cup of hot water on the plane, pour it over the grains, and let it sit covered for 10 minutes, and you have a fabulous meal!
