Cramping and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) are common occurrences on long and even short haul flights, but a simple pair of socks could keep you comfortable and may even save your life.
For the vast majority of us flying is uncomfortable. Cooped up in a compact space for a long period of time tends to leave most of us feeling worse for wear. But do we often consider the health risks of flying? Or the simple things we can do to decrease our health risk? Like wearing a simple pair of socks.
According to the experts, compression socks reduce the risk of blood clots and the pooling of blood in the feet and legs. They also help the symptoms of varicose veins, reduce the risk of cramping and DVT as well as providing joint support.
The likelihood of these health risks increases both as we get older and when we fly, so here’s some colourful (or not) compression socks, the perfect travel buddy for your next flight.
