Stretch to Increase General Blood Flow

Flying has all types of effects on the body, including poor circulation and a lack of good blood flow. Not moving around enough could actually cause some life-threatening conditions, and although it's recommended to stretch while on a long flight, stretching before stepping on the plane is even better. This will prepare your body for the long journey ahead and could prevent from getting any adverse side effects from the flight during your vacation.
