How to Avoid Dehydration on Your Next Long-Haul Flight

Did you know that when you fly, the airplane cabin becomes nearly twice as dry as the Sahara desert?   Long-Haul flights can take a considerable toll on the body, and leave you feeling tired, sluggish and thirsty. With hours spent in dry cabin air, staying hydrated is an essential way to help you land feeling refreshed. Here’s how to stay hydrated and stop feeling sluggish, during and after travelling: Your body has to keep up with changes to its internal rhythms, leaving you feeling run-down and lethargic. This causes lots of issues which we know as Jetlag, including tiredness, fatigue and irritability. A decrease in hydration levels also has effects on your cognitive function, concentration, memory and critical thinking. Although there is no cure for Jetlag, Phizz Daily 3-in-1 Hydration, Electrolyte and Vitamin tablets, aid your body in absorbing water more efficiently. We’d also recommend stocking up with additional water for the journey to ensure you are sufficiently prepared, and taking a reusable water bottle with you, to ensure you stay sipping throughout the flight. It is also no surprise that planes easily spread colds, due to the close proximity to others, and the dry air can leave your nose and throat dry and uncomfortable. Staying hydrated throughout your flight can help you feel more refreshed and helps support your body’s immune function, especially on longer journeys. Phizz contains a blend of vitamins and minerals that play important roles in supporting your immune system too, such as Zinc, Vitamin A, Vitamin B12 and Vitamin C, as well as antioxidant properties, (including Manganese, Copper and Vitamin B6).    The next time you take a trip, don’t forget to pick up your go-to travel essential, Phizz. You can find us in Boots, WHSmith Travel and other retailers including Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons and Waitrose - you can’t miss us!
