"Planning a trip for Memorial Day, or dreaming about a mid-summer vacation? Don&amp;#039;t let getting sick get in the way of your fun. Michael Hall, MD, founder of the Hall Medical Foundation and creator of the Hall Longevity Clinic, located in Miami Beach, Florida, offers these tips: \u00E2\u00A2Airplane travel, especially flights longer than eight hours, may increase the risk for blood clots, also known as Deep Vein Thrombosis/Pulmonary Embolism (DVT/PE). You can help prevent them by staying well-hydrated and moving about the cabin periodically. (Same goes for a long car trip; get out and stretch every few hours.) \u00E2\u00A2If you&amp;#039;re traveling abroad, make sure you investigate any possible health requirements for the country you&amp;#039;re visiting. For example, you might need anti-malaria meds or a card that proves you&amp;#039;ve gotten certain vaccines in order to enter that country. \u00E2\u00A2Check you health insurance plan or credit card to see if they will cover your health needs abroad. If it doesn&amp;#039;t, consider purchasing extra health insurance for the trip\u2014especially if you&amp;#039;re going far, far from home. Otherwise it could cost $50,000-$100,000 to transport someone who&amp;#039;s seriously ill from a remote location! Personally, I never leave home without a variety of OTC meds for colds, headaches, stomachaches, etc. It pays to be prepared! What do you do to stay healthy while traveling? Got any fool-proof remedies? \u2014Barbara Brody, Health Editor "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
