What can be done to reduce the negative impacts of travel?

If you’re a frequent traveler, flying from one city to another across countries and continents, you’re part of a relatively small group that most people envy—the people whose only workplace is their desk. They see the pictures you post on your social media profiles from the airport or luxury hotels, but they don’t know that there’s a downside to everything!

The jet lag caused by traveling between different time zones can negatively impact your well-being, aging, and your immune and cardiovascular systems.

Frequent travelers are exposed to more radiation than is considered acceptable, as radiation exposure at high altitudes is hundreds of times higher than on the ground. Seven round-trip flights between New York and Tokyo (about 85,000 miles) would exceed the radiation exposure limit for the general population. That is why the radiation exposure of commercial airline crew exceeds that of nuclear power plant workers!

Effects of transatlantic flight

The air circulating during long-haul transatlantic flights exposes frequent business travelers to germs more often, putting a greater strain on their immune systems. The dry air dries out the lining of their noses, making it more likely for germs to enter their bodies. Jet lag and the general fatigue of traveling to airports make it harder for frequent travelers to fight off illnesses than their less frequent counterparts.

Még ha úgy is tűnik, hogy a gyakori utazók legtöbbször luxus éttermekben esznek, általánosságban mégis kevesebb a lehetőségük, hogy frissen elkészült, egészséges ételeket fogyasszanak. Ehhez társul az elfogyasztott alkohol mennyisége és a mozgás hiánya az utazások során, így a gyakori utazók körében magasabb a túlsúly kockázata is.

Az utazás okozta negatív hatások és következményei

Ha eltekintünk az utazásra való felkészülés okozta stressztől, még az utazással töltött idő is csak ritkán jelent pihenést a felhalmozódó munka és a megnövekedett beérkező e-mailek miatt. Emellett pedig a gyakori üzleti utazók sokszor érzik magukat magányosnak és elszigeteltnek- illetve bűnösnek is, amiért el kell hagyniuk időről-időre a szeretteiket. A házastársak pedig ezzel ellentétben gyakran haragot és dühöt éreznek. Ha a stresszt az elszigeteltséggel és a bűntudattal kombináljuk, az nagyon komoly mentális egészségügyi problémákhoz vezethet.

What can you do to reduce the negative effects of traveling a lot?

Of course, one way to do this is to reduce the number of business trips, especially long-distance ones. You can take stress management training, try to move as much as you can, even at the airport – walk instead of sitting all the time, and try to pay attention to what and how you eat.
