Help for Long Hauls

Do recent reports on the health risks of long flights have you

down on air travel? A few simple preventive measures can help keep you safe

in the air.

Sitting for long periods of time can cause deep-vein thrombosis,

a condition in which blood pools and clots in the lower extremities.

However, during extended flights you can reduce your risk of this rare but

serious medical condition by exercising and massaging your leg muscles

periodically, wearing loose clothing, and staying hydrated.

RealAge Benefit: Actively patrolling your health can make your

RealAge as much as 12 years younger.
