    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Did you ever think about how unnatural it is for humans to be racing through the air at an altitude of 30,000 feet? Our bodies were designed to be on the ground, or else we would have developed wings. Surely there must be some consequences to putting our bodies where they shouldn’t be? If that’s what you’re guessing, you’d be absolutely correct!
    Science has come a long way and worked diligently to provide the most comfortable flying conditions possible for today’s commercial flyers. We’ve managed to provide clean, albeit dry, air at a relatively comfortable air pressure (certainly better than the pressure outside the cabin) so that flyers can endure long flights in peace. Unfortunately, however, science can’t work like magic.
    When on the airplane, your food might not taste as good, and there’s a reason for that! Additionally, you might become sleepy or developed a headache due to the low-pressure, oxygen-deprived conditions of the airplane. You’ve almost certainly experienced bloating or at least the unpleasant ear-popping due to gas expansion, but did you know that same side effect can also affect your teeth?
    Stay tuned to learn more about the crazy things that happen to your body on a plane. We’ll tell you why they happen, and what measures you can take, if any, to alleviate the symptoms. Have you ever experienced the amazing things that happen as you fly? Tell us how you felt and let us know what you did to avoid the uncomfortable situations in the comments section!

      That very much depends on how much of a worrier you are. Yes all these things happen, its an unavoidable fact, and you clicked to find these things out. For anyone worried, my advice is that you suffer with some of these issues during daily life, it's just no one has made a video about it. I hate flying but my issues aren't the biological impacts, just make sure to drink water, take aboard some pain killers (most flights carry them anyway), and get up and go for a walk. Unless you're flying long haul (8-16 hours), you probably aren't going to experience 90% of the things mentioned. Oh and don't worry about the radiation, its over exaggerated in this video, you'd have to fly over 900 hours per year for 30 years to be at any kind of higher risk.

    Carbon Dioxide levels are higher not just because of being at higher altitudes. They are higher also due to the fact that there are many passengers that are sitting next to each other, especially if the plane has a high capacity of passengers. High altitude also reduces oxygen levels which is one of the many reasons why it possibly could make you have trouble breathing oxygen. This goes especially when flying is at a very high speed and altitude is high. I almost forgot to mention that sleeping especially during takeoff and landing will make your body have a tougher time in coping with the flight environment (inside the cabin).

    The headaches suck so bad if you’re a dude. I fly a lot bc I have too and every second is hell. I feel like an airhead about to explode.
