1.Stay Alert in the Air
On a long flight, skip the alcohol and sleeping pills. You need to stay awake enough to keep your muscles moving for good blood circulation. Get up and walk around every hour or two. When you’re sitting, change your position often. Don’t cross your legs, since that can weaken blood flow.
2.Prep for Travel
Wear light, loose-fitting, comfortable clothing. Avoid anything that could restrict your circulation. Drink lots of water, too. Ask your doctor if you need to take any extra medication — or a different medication — during your trip.
