Avoid non-veg food on flights: Here's why

Non-vegetarian cuisine is a favorite for many. But here are a few reasons you shouldn't have it on a flight.

Consuming non-veg food on flights combined with the air circulation systems of flights can cause excess dehydration.

Dehydration

Non-vegetarian food is significantly harder to digest thus exacerbating dehydration and cause discomfort.

Digestion

Meals served on flights are often high in levels of sodium and preservatives that may lead to indigestion and bloating.

High sodium and preservatives

Eating smaller meals is sure to reduce digestive stress and facilitate a comfortable flight.

Smaller Meals

On long haul flights, the meals are prepared many hours earlier, and go through temperature changes, reducing the quality of food especially non-veg.

Freshness Compromised

If an infection is developed on board, it can quickly create an emergency in the absence of medical aid.

With these tips in mind, you are sure to be far more comfortable in your next flights and safe journeys!
