Cardiologist Martin Cowie spends much of his life on a plane.
心脏病专家马丁·柯维有大把时间是在飞机上度过的。

With 150 trips a year, including jaunts to Asia every few weeks, numerous visits to Europe, biannual trips to the Americas and a yearly stop in Australia, it’s no wonder he regards the sky his second home.
每年150次出行,包括每隔几周去亚洲、数不清几次去欧洲,两年一次去美洲,每年一次去澳大利亚,难怪他说天空是他第二个家。

“Always watch your posture when flying. It’s too easy to end up with crossedlegs, crunched up and at risk of deep-vein thrombosis and back pain,” he said. ”Nowadays, I rarely ever work on my laptop as it encourages such a bad posture on the flight.“
飞行的时候一定要时刻注意姿势,跷二郎腿,或骨头嘎吱响很容易造成深静脉血栓和背部疼痛的风险。”他说道。现在,我很少使用笔记本电脑,因为这样容易在飞行时引起姿势不当。

“Remember few people have ever died of jet lag,” he added, but long flights can take their toll in other ways.
他补充道“记住,很少有人因为时差而死,但是长途飞行会以其他方式让你痛苦。”

BBC Capital quizzed frequent business fliers for their best tips and tricks to beat jet lag and arrive five time zones away ready for the next meeting.
BBC对经常因出差坐飞机的人做了调查,搜集了他们到克服时差,飞去参加有5个时差的地方开会的最佳办法。

Before you board
登机前

Health is key, according to Jo Vickers, who runs her own travel public-relations firm, JV Public Relations in London. Vickers flies five times a month on average and has a regime she abides by to see her through long before she gets on the plane. “Strictly no booze,” is her foremost rule and getting plenty of exercise outdoors. She also does facial acupuncture, “which makes you look like you’ve had a face lift.”
伦敦JV旅游公关公司的老板杰·维克认为健康是关键。维克平均每月做5次飞机,她有一套在登机之前严格遵守的养生之法。“坚决不要喝酒”是第一条,并且多做户外运动。她还会做面部针灸,“这样能让她看起来像做过拉皮。”

Hotelier Peng Loh, who travels from Singapore to other parts of Asia, Australia and Europe at least twice a month, is equally abstemious. In addition to avoiding alcohol pre-flight, he tries to “have a full meal on the ground before I get on the plane so I am not hungry and don’t need a meal [in flight]” he said.
酒店经理罗彭每月至少要从新加坡飞往亚洲其他地区,澳大利亚和欧洲两次,他也是个有节制的人。除了避免饮酒,他“上飞机之前要饱餐一顿,这样他就不会饿了,也不需要在飞机上进食了。”

Dr Stefanie Williams, a dermatologist and medical director at European Dermatology London suggests topping up on Omega-3 fatty acids prior to the flight to prevent swollen feet and thread veins. The Omega-3 thins blood, helping to lower the risk of thrombosis, according to research. “You can do this by eating lots of oily fish or taking some fish oil supplements containing EPA and DHA for a couple of weeks prior to flying,” she said.
史蒂芬妮·威廉姆斯博士是皮肤学家并担任欧洲伦敦区皮肤科主任医师,她建议在飞行之前补充ω-3不饱和脂肪酸以防止脚部水肿和网状静脉。Ω研究表明-3不饱和脂肪酸能够稀释血液,帮助降低血栓风险。她说:“在飞行前几周可以食用多脂鱼或者吃一些含有不饱和脂肪酸的鱼油。”

Settling into the journey
旅行中

Once on the flight, comfort takes priority, as do staying hydrated and getting some sleep.
在飞机上,舒适是最重要的,补充水分和睡眠也同样重要。

Vickers wears slip-on shoes along with flight tights: “Women always get water retention, so I put the tights on in the lounge,” she said.
维克在飞机上会穿飞行紧身衣和穿脱方便的鞋子。她说:“女性总是需要维持水分,所以我会候机大厅时穿上紧身衣。”

She has her beauty regime down to an exact science. “I never wear make-up but always wear lip balm and hand cream,” Vickers said. “I use simple baby cream on my face. On my hair Philip Kingsley Elasticizer stops it from drying out and breaking.”
她还有一套严格遵守的美容之道。“我从来不化妆但一定会涂唇膏和护手霜”维克如是说道,“我只在脸上涂简单的婴儿霜。菲利普·金斯利牌弹力素能防止头发干燥和断裂。”

Airplane air conditioners have the tendency to dry skin out, so it’s important to keep skin clean and hydrated, advises Dr Williams. “Take some wet wipes to remove make-up fully before you go to sleep. Also make sure to bring some thermal water spray.” Although moisturiser is beneficial, “layer upon layer will actually clog up pores, so one good application is enough,” she said.
威廉姆斯博士建议道,飞机上的空调会导致皮肤缺水,所以保持皮肤干净和湿润很重要。“睡觉前用湿纸巾去除脸上的妆。并且带上保湿喷雾。“尽管保湿霜很有用,但脸上涂太多层会堵塞毛孔,所以使用一样产品就可以了。”

Rodman Primack, executive director of Design Miami, brings his own in-flight kit, including travel sizes cleanser, oil-free hydrating serum and deodorant “all of which I use on the flight to get ready to sleep; I try to maintain the same ritual on an overnight flight that I would at home.”
迈阿密设计公司的执行总裁罗德姆·普瑞马克也有自己的登机必备品,包括旅行装洗面奶,无油保湿精华,除臭剂,“这些都是我在飞机上睡觉前必用的;需要在飞机上过夜时,我会试着保持和在家一样的睡前程序。”
