Flying, especially for long periods of time, can be very hard on the body. Areas of special concern are the legs and feet. A passenger may be seated for a long time from gate to gate. This decrease in movement over time can cause the feet to swell and blood flow to slow.
These problems can be decreased by wearing loose shoes or slippers while on the plane. With some men's shoes, simply untying them will help. Additionally, the use of compression stockings of 20mm Hg or more, readily available at drugstores, can prevent dangerous swelling in the lower legs.
