Wellness Must Haves for Traveling
Wellness Tips Before You Travel (6:25)
Be well rested and hydrated. This is especially true for longer trips where you go through time zone changes. Your body is already undergoing a significant amount of stress as you prepare to travel.

Stay hydrated on the plane! Dr. Denniston suggests 1L every 2 hours.
