On your next airplane flight, pack this in your carryon bag:
A tennis ball. That’s the recommendation of Travel & Leisure magazine.
Because it may be exactly what you need to survive your flight without getting muscle cramps, a blood clot or jet lag.
We all know sitting for an extended amount of time wreaks havoc on our health. That’s why orthopedic surgeon Dr. Ali Ghoz says we should travel with a tennis ball. To increase circulation, roll it over your shoulders, lower back, legs, and the bottoms of your feet. That’ll help get your blood flowing again, even if you can't get up and walk around every hour.
