Traveling can be both a joy and trial. If we properly prepare for the trip, we can better endure the tribulations. Follow these important tips when you fly the friendly skies.

Carry a small carryon bag and fill it with the following:

-A good book to keep your mind active and pleasantly occupied
-Topical anti-oxidants containing DMAE to prevent water retention and puffiness in face and eye area
-A bottle of spring water
-Wholesome, anti-inflammatory snacks such as unsalted nuts, fresh fruit, all natural sliced turkey or chicken, an omega 3 hard boiled egg and a small container of plain yogurt. (Remember to check whether liquids of that volume can be taken as carry-on; be prepared to eat them on the spot at airport security if not).
