How to Stay Fit and Healthy for your Cabin Crew Medicals
If you’ve been fretting about your cabin crew medicals, you can finally stop worrying! Here at Manchester Medicals, we’ve written up this helpful post to aid you in staying fit and healthy for your cabin crew medicals. While this post was written for those preparing for their cabin crew medical, all of this advice is generally recommended to anyone looking to stay in relatively healthy shape.
All of our cabin crew medicals meet CAA guidelines, and our Aeromedical Examiner (AME) is fully qualified and accredited, which means our medicals are held to the latest standards set by the Civil Aviation Authority.
Visit your GP Regularly
It always seems like a silly piece of advice; however, there is a large section of the population that avoids visiting their GP even in cases of pain or discomfort. While we tend to think that we can power through the majority of aches and pains, it’s essential to have relatively regular check-ins with your GP.
Don’t let any pain go by unnoticed as you’re preparing for your cabin crew medicals, as it might be a symptom of something larger that needs to be addressed. It’s always easier to prevent a problem if caught early rather than trying to resolve one that has been noticed too late.
Avoid Pre-packaged and Processed Foods
Since the cabin crew medicals place a heavy emphasis on cardiovascular health, it’s very important to avoid foods that are high in refined sugars and salts, as these can be detrimental to your heart’s health. In general, avoiding pre-packaged foods makes this process much easier, as you can see how much salt or sugar is used if you cook a meal yourself.
Start using whole foods and cook your meals from scratch to know and control what goes into your body.
Stop Drinking Soft Drinks
One of the biggest culprits in sugar intake are soft or fizzy drinks. These beverages are typically loaded with high amounts of sugar and caffeine, both of which are detrimental to heart health. Cutting these drinks out will also make it much easier for you to lose weight if that’s an ulterior goal of yours.
The high amounts of sugar and substitute substances result in weight gain for many people who drink these drinks instead of water.
Make Sure to Exercise Often
To go alongside your much healthier diet of only whole-food home-cooked meals and water, performing some exercise a few times a week is the perfect complement to ensure you’re in top condition for your cabin crew medicals. Running or biking are great forms of cardiovascular activity, with weight training or swimming as other alternatives to ensure you’re keeping active.
