Many individuals experience body aches and fatigue after returning from a foreign journey. Prolonged periods spent on a flight can contribute to this discomfort, causing fatigue and dehydration, as well as keeping passengers in the same seated position for extended durations.

One of the most effective measures is to consume a well-balanced meal prior to boarding the plane. Registered dietitian Megan Ormsby advises that starting the journey with sufficient energy is crucial.
