Stimulating Blood Flow
Long flights can affect the flow of blood in your body. They can cause DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis), which can be life-threatening by causing blood clots. In addition, stretching your muscles to loosen them up in a plane is not that easy due to the limited space. It is why you should always carry a tennis ball in your hand luggage when traveling.
Roll over the tennis ball over your shoulders, legs, lower back, feet to help take the edge of the pain and tightness while improving your blood flow. As much as the tennis ball comes in handy in relaxing your muscles, it is critical to wear loose clothes that also allow continuous blood flow in your body. It is because our bodies ordinarily swell when flying on a plane.
