Here is why you should not eat anything on a plane.

They know the rules of the game

Here is a secret about the flight attendents that you did not know. The major part of their work is handing out food to the passengers but they themselves never satiate their hunger onboard. Here is why:

It's not just about the taste

They don't avoid the microwaved food just due to the bad taste. According to experts, not feeding your taste buds onboard actually reduces the jet lag.

Bad for belly

Travelling on a high-altitude zone does great damage to your body which includes shutting down of the digestive sytem. Though after landing the metabolism process starts, it is advisable for the passsengers to restrict themselves to water.

Say no to the food

Body starts working hard to digest the food you intake in the course of your journey. Consequently, passengers feel more tired and exhausted.

The solution: Skip the meal and be more alert from next time you go on a flight.

Easier said than done

Melissa Biggs Bradley, founder of luxury air travel firm Indagare, who herself spends nearly four months flying, told Bloomberg: "Most people overeat because it’s a diversion or a way to pass the time.” But she says even the best plane food is over-salted and preserved so it can be microwaved.

Food for the flight

Bradley says, "I have something to eat a couple hours before getting on the plane, but otherwise it’s nothing but lots and lots of water. Really and truly, I live by it and I feel so much better."

Keep Bradley's advice in mind next time you board a plane.
