JANUARY 11, 2012 IS TRAVELING ENDANGERING YOUR HEALTH?



































"Allow love to flood into your life today and if you give love, you will receive love."


L.O.V.E. is the most used 4 letter word. Many of us say it too much. Regardless, accept love into your life on every level. Accept love from the blue sky, the cold air, and the leafless trees. Put yourself out there and give love. You will do this so you will be able to accept and receive love.



Without giving from the heart, there is no receiving.







You are leaving on your honeymoon, a planned family holiday or a quick getaway. Are you endangering your health by flying? I never have been fond of flying , but I do what I must do. I fly not only for pleasure (which has been a long time) but for speaking engagements and medical/herbal conferences. I tend to go to the herbal conferences these days.

Nothing in life is guaranteed, even with flying. We do what we have to do. Yet, you can decrease the risk of health conditions when you fly by following these simple steps.

1. You need to get rest. Three days before flying try to get as much sleep as you can.

2. You need to be well hydrated, with at least 64 fluid ounces of water. Try to avoid caffeine as much as you can prior to your flight, as caffeine tends to dehydrate you. Also, try to avoid alcohol as it also dehydrates you.

3. It is critical to get up and move around while flying, especially on long flights. I know the airline staff does not like this, but you must move your legs. Blood tends to pool in the legs and can cause blood clots. Depending on the flight, get up at least once every hour to stretch. Also move your legs while in your seat. If there is a problem, get a note from your doctor that you must get up at least once per hour for long flights.

4. I also recommend building up some anti-oxidants three to four weeks before traveling. I recommend an intravenous anti oxidant drip or high dose resveratrol or alpha lipoic acid. I would do this at least three weeks prior to travel for flights up to 5 hours. If the flight is longer I would suggest starting this 6 weeks in advance.

5. I recommend also going to either Brookstone, or Shaper Image to purchase your own air purifier . This device goes around the neck and you get to breathe your own air. Clever device...






Until tomorrow...
