Healthy Holidays

I found some tips on this page “http://www.health.com/health/gallery/0,,20648861,00.html” in an article entitled “10 Ways to Stay Healthy During the Holidays”. The top three recommendations they have are:
1. Wipe away germs…Before you settle in for the flight (or train or bus ride), run disinfecting wipes over the armrests, the tray table and latch, the air vent, and your seatbelt buckle, and let air-dry. Clean anything you might touch so you don’t pick up germs that those who sat there before you left behind.
2. Stay hydrated…Low humidity at high altitudes makes plane cabin air dry—and our airways more vulnerable to viruses and bacteria. Staying well-hydrated keeps those mucous membranes moist so they can better keep bugs out of our systems. Down 8 ounces of water for every hour you’re in the air.
3. Cruise the aisle…Once that “fasten your seatbelt” sign goes off, be sure to get up and move around to prevent deep-vein thrombosis (DVT), the formation of blood clots in your legs that can result from sitting immobile for long periods. (DVT can be life-threatening if a clot breaks off and travels to the lungs.) To avoid it, move around the cabin every 60 to 90 minutes. And if you tend to get clots, talk with your doctor about support hose.
