I'm a flight attendant – here's the weird thing I always eat before travelling to avoid getting ill
A FLIGHT attendant has revealed a weird thing you should always eat when you travel so you don't get ill.
Tiktok user Robine Blickman shared a video with her top tips to avoid feeling bloated on a flight – a feeling some flyers will be familiar with.
She swears by an unusual thing when the flies – artichoke.
She said: "Artichoke – okay I know this sounds so weird but I've got it in tea and in pills and believe me, it works so good.
"I take it before my flight, during my flight or after my flight, it doesn't matter. It just works."
There is some science behind Robine's suggestion of eating or drinking something with artichoke in to help prevent bloating.
Artichokes are a great source of fibre and can help with digestion. By drinking tea or taking tablets with artichoke extract in, you can help speed up your digestion and avoid feeling bloated.
Robine had a couple of other tricks for flyers wanting to avoid feeling ill – hot water with lemon, and celery juice.
