Flight attendant’s bizarre food hack to stay healthy on planes

It’s hard to walk off a long-haul flight not feeling a little bit under the weather – but one flight attendant claims she has the hack to get rid of the feeling forever.

A flight attendant has revealed a weird thing you should always eat when you travel so you don‘t get sick.

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, The Sun reported.

She swears by an unusual thing when she flies – artichoke.

“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,” she said.

“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 Ms Blickman’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.

Ms Blickman had a couple of other tricks for flyers wanting to avoid feeling ill – hot water with lemon, and celery juice.

“On the morning of your flight, take a cup of hot water and some lemon and squeeze it in,” she said.

“I know it looks so gross, celery, but believe me it is the best thing. I always mix it up with some cucumber and some lemon.

“I even take it every morning right now and it works the best.”
