ArabiaWeather - Most of us wish to visit many countries of the world, and travel from one city to another, but riding a plane for several hours often causes many health problems.

The British newspaper "The Independent" reported that air travelers experience some health changes while on the plane, such as a decrease in the percentage of water in the body and some other symptoms.

Also, the chance of air travelers catching a cold is 100 times higher than other people.

Humidity decreases inside the aircraft cabin, ranging between 5% and 35%, which makes the atmosphere inside the aircraft similar to the atmosphere of the desert, and therefore it is necessary to drink a lot of water to avoid feeling headache and fatigue during the flight.

The traveler also feels a weak sense of taste on the plane, as the food tastes very different, and the reason is the low humidity, which causes dryness of the mucous membranes, which negatively affects the sense of taste. The noise of aircraft engines also affects the sense of taste, so that the sensation of salty and sweet foods decreases by 30%.

In addition, the decrease in pressure in the plane leads to ear pain.
