A: A tennis ball
A writer for “Travel & Leisure” recently did an article on why she always travels with a TENNIS BALL in her bag. Here’s why . . .
A tennis ball is really good for giving yourself a massage when you’re sitting down.
Even if you don’t have a bad back, it’s a good idea because it increases blood flow, which can help with jet lag. Plus it’s small, so it’s easy to fit in your bag.
Just put it behind your back . . . lean on it . . . and roll it back and forth. Or you can massage yourself by rolling it across your shoulders, legs, and feet. You should also still get up and stretch if it’s a long flight.
If you DON’T bring a tennis ball, you can still give yourself a quick leg massage. A lot of people’s legs swell up when they fly. So start at your ankles and work your way up to your knees.
