(loud zipping)
- Time for another business trip.
(upbeat music)
Headed to LA to get some work done
but I thought this would be the perfect
opportunity to give you some travel tips
to keep you healthy and safe, let's go.
(plane engine roaring)
I'm only headed to LA, but if you're traveling
internationally you need to get travel vaccinations.
Yes you can go see your doctor, but another great thing
you can do is you can visit the CDC.gov website
to get at more information about required vaccinations,
recommended vaccinations, packing lists, all of that.
Travel insurance.
It's not so expensive, it allows you to be flexible
with your flight, god forbid you get sick,
it allows you to stay safe abroad if you need medical care
that you don't have to shell out your own money for.
It's really the smart move, get travel insurance.
What's next?
You need to pack a healthy snack, whether it's something
simple like carrots, peanuts, a nice bar, why?
Because you walk into the airport and you have this.
Candy stores galore, if I walk in there and I smell
that candy, I'm gonna get diabetes
because I'm gonna eat the entire store.
The airport's full of unhealthy choices,
so keeps those carrots handy.
I don't understand people who come to the airport
and they're about to sit five, six hours on an airplane,
that choose to sit two to three hours in the airport also.
I tell this to all my patients,
I've said this on TV, the more you sit in the day,
the more likely it is you're gonna die.
Have some fun in the airport
for god's sake. - Woo, yeah,
we're right here in the background.
- While you're walking around you want to pick
up a water bottle, hydrate before the plane.
The water allows your skin to stay hydrated so you're not
all dry and ashy when you land plus it hydrates
your internal organs too, it's like a win-win, cheers.
(airport speaker voiceover announcement)
All right, the time to board the plane.
(fast-paced electronic music)
All right, so you're on the airplane,
there are a few things that pose a risk to your health.
Number one, that's DVT, that means deep vein thrombosis.
When you're seated for an extended period of time
and the blood pools in your legs, that can form a clot.
God forbid that clot travels to your lungs, now it becomes
a pulmonary embolism, and that can become fatal.
What's the solution?
Very simple, get up, walk around, stretch,
go to the bathroom, do that every hour so.
People are always asking, "Why do I get sick when I travel?"
Well there are a couple of reasons for that,
the air is really dry on the plane and you get a little
dehydrated, plus your nasal mucosa dries up
and that's where your immune fighting cells are.
When that's dry, your immunity decreases.
Wash your hands when you're on the plane
and at all costs, avoid touching your face.
You can't talk about travel without talking about jet lag.
Jet lag, it's clearly one of the biggest problems
travelers face every time they go to a new place.
One of the easiest things you can do is sleep
with the shades open just like I do.
Well that allows the Sun to heat your face as soon
as it comes up in the morning, which will help reset
your sleep cycle, reset your circadian rhythm
which will allow you to adjust
to your new time zone, it's pretty simple.
On top of that, a lot of people when they travel,
they think, "Oh since I can't do my regular exercise
routine, I shouldn't go to the gym at all."
Not the case, doesn't matter if you go for a quick run,
doesn't matter if you do some push-ups
or squats in your room, do something.
Your body still creates hormones, it boosts your immunity
and allows you to adjust that jet lag even better.
Something you can do even before your trip
is to adjust to the sleep schedule of the place
you're going to before your trip.
If you know you're flying to China, that's 12 hours ahead,
figure out the best way to sleep on the plane so that
you're already sleeping when it's night at your destination.
All right, so that's the end of my trip and I know
you didn't get to see everything I did but I promise you
you will in the coming weeks in a separate video.
But, since I'm packing I thought I'd give you some tips
on how to pack save space and reduce wrinkles.
So check this out, you can do this
with anything really, t-shirts, scrubs, jeans,
look all you do is fold it and then roll.
Roll, roll, roll.
And roll it gently so it's not tight and you don't create
extra wrinkles, it'll save you space, it'll allow you
to reduce wrinkles when you pack,
but the one thing that's important to remember
is don't do that with dress shirts.
With dress shirts, this is how you pack them,
come over here, I'll show you.
So you have the shirt laying there flat,
all you do is you cross the sleeve here,
bring it up, fold the cuff,
do the same thing with the opposite sleeve,
bring it up, fold the cuff, fold in half,
fold in half, fold in 1/3, fold up
and then you have a beautifully felt folded shirt
that you can pack in your luggage and you're ready to go.
I'm not the neatest person but I did learn that
so I thought I'd share that with you.
I'm on my way back to New York, what I recommend you do
is head over to my channel and watch my El Salvador video,
I think it was such an amazing trip, I'm super proud
of the video and I think you'll really enjoy it.
Until then I'll see you Sunday 11 a.m.

Fail.
Get a little fold here, and then do a gent.
A gent, not a gently, a gent.
