The Must Follow Guide While Travelling With Asthma.

Everybody likes to take some time to choose and plan a trip - whether it's a weekend break or a long-distance adventure. Travelling can help prevent stress and you make the most of your time away. If you or someone in your family has asthma, it's still possible to travel and enjoy your holidays like any other adventurer. Asthma is one of the common health conditions found almost every corner of the globe and in every population. But a proper planning and preventive medical care, you can forget about your condition and cherish the joyous moments of your life. Here are few things to consider about before you head off on your holiday.

Weather
For some people, the asthma symptoms become worse with changes in temperature. Damp weather, sweltering weather, thunderstorms, and a sudden change in temperature also trigger symptoms for some people.

Pollen
Be aware that pollen seasons are different in different countries. It might happen that your asthma will get triggered by the allergenic pollens in a specific country. But there are many countries where pollen levels are lower than in the UK. Usually, the coastal areas tend to have lower pollen counts. Alternatively, you can also plan your trip to avoid the peak pollen season at your destination.

Altitude
People with asthma issues can travel to parts of the world at high altitude, anywhere over 2,500m above sea level. If you’re fit with well-managed asthma you should have no issues, as long you climb slowly and are remain alert to changes in your asthma. If the cold or exercise triggers your asthma, you might find the low temperatures at high altitudes are a problem.

Physical Activity
If you are physically fit, and your asthma is well-managed, you should be able to enjoy any physical activity. But sometimes physical activity can trigger asthma for everyone including children as well as adults, people who play sports and even the elite athletes.

Air Travel
If your asthma is well-managed and you’re physically fit, and well, you should have no problems when you're flying. If your asthma is severe, you might face few problems due to the reduced air pressure in the airplane cabin. Speak to your GP before travelling by plane to see if you can travel safely by air. Keep a supply of travel medicines handy while travelling by air. Many travel health clinics in Northampton provide quality travel medicines at affordable rates.

Accommodation
If your asthma triggers include passive smoke, open fires or animals, it’s a good idea to take necessary precautions and to stay away from these triggers.

Research has it that there are processes that facilitate wrinkle formation, thereby contributing to making us have a much older appearance and they include:  our everyday facial expression and loss of skin elasticity. Loss of skin elasticity happens alongside the loss of volume and it gives the long-term effect of sagging; it gives the feel of loose muscles, making them lack the firmness they normally should have.  Also, our everyday facial expressions refer to how we use our facial muscles. There are typical facial wrinkles with negative connotations and they are frown lines or furrows between the eyes which makes us look like we are intensely worried or negative.
