How to stay healthy when traveling for the holidays

Traveling for the holidays? So is the rest of the country — according to Airlines for America, a trade organization for major U.S. airlines, 28.5 million people will fly home in the next 12 days. And if you're hoping to stay healthy during your flight, you might want to take a few cues from Dr. Judith Reichman, a women's health expert. Here, she answers top questions about holiday travel.
 
Why do those who fly frequently complain of headache, fatigue, fever or breathing problems?

Some of these symptoms may be due to the low barometric pressure, oxygen content and humidity in the air cabin. When combined with jet lag, sleep deprivation, stress, (security concerns, long lines, missed flights, delayed and cancelled flights), as well as cramped seating, motion sickness and discomfort from vibration and engine noise, we have ample reason to feel “ill.” And let’s not forget that engine fumes can, on occasion, seep into the cabin.
