Do you also drink a glass of wine on the plane?
That can be very dangerous.
If I fly after twelve o'clock in the afternoon, I feel like I've earned a glass. First of all, because I've already been sitting there for half a day with a sweaty upper lip, and secondly because I can then take a nice little nap and not be disturbed by kicking children, crying babies (I don't mind, I've caused enough disturbance in my motherhood) and other things. It seems to be doubly wrong, I read in the newspaper this weekend.
In the airplane, the air pressure is lower than we are used to, and in combination with alcohol and sleep, there is a chance that your oxygen levels drop and you get an increased heart rate. And that can, according to researchers from the DLR Institute in Cologne, lead to heart problems. Especially for people with heart and lung diseases, this can be dangerous.
So just take that tomato juice again (this is the reason why we drink tomato juice on the plane). And certainly don't order coffee or tea! wine airplane Ideal if you have latent fear of flying or as a sleeping aid during a flight: a glass. Wine and a nap can therefore cause heart problems on the plane.
