Move your body
Circling and pumping your feet frequently and making sure you get up often, walk around and move your heels up and down will help to improve overall circulation in the body.
Snack attack
Keep some cucumber on hand to nibble on as they contain plenty of water and other nutrients that will help hydrate and nourish your body. Fresh pineapple is great for helping to hydrate the body and acts a natural detoxifier.
Raise it up
If your feet are swollen after the flight you can practice Legs Up The Wall Pose to help drain the fluid from your feet. When pregnant it’s best to place a pillow or bolster under the chest to help keep it elevated to avoid putting pressure on your baby.
In the event that you feel unwell please make sure you get in touch with a doctor or your midwife otherwise enjoy the flight!
