Squeeze play

Article Abstract:

In 2000, when a 28-year-old British woman got off a long-haul flight from Australia to London, and collapsed and died from deep vein thrombosis (DVT), many more cases of this travel-related ailment were unearthed. As airlines are not rushing to change their seating arrangements, long-distance passengers should try to prevent DVT by doing stretching exercises, taking aspirin to prevent blood clotthing, and walking around the airplane.

Article Abstract:

Although research is being conducted to find out more about jet lag, there is no known cure, and so we need to find the best ways to prevent or minimise its effects. Suggestions are presented on ways to reduce its effects by drinking lots of fluid, eating carbohydrates, using light boxes, and sleeping it off.
