Somehow, it’s nearly October, which means the impending influx of holiday air travel is just around the corner. Although hopping on an airplane these days isn’t quite as stressful as it was in, say, 2020, there are still a host of health factors to consider before climbing into the cabin.
.
Cardiologist Henry Ting, MD, MBA joined the Delta Air Lines team as its chief health officer back in 2021, when reinventing air travel in the midst of a pandemic was pivotal. Today, his scope reaches well beyond keeping COVID-19 out of planes. Dr. Ting has built a team that’s helped the airline roll out an extensive update to its in-flight medical tools, including Medaire’s in-flight MedLink app, which allows the cabin crew to communicate with doctors on the ground in real-time about medical emergencies on board. He’s also advised on important additions to on-board diagnostic equipment, such as pulse oximeters and automatic blood pressure cuffs.
“We sought to look at the most common medical emergencies we encounter and to provide the incremental equipment that we feel will make a better diagnosis,” Dr. Ting says.
Apparently, the most common symptoms people experience during flights are neurologic. This ranges from temporary loss of consciousness to seizures, he says. But pulmonary problems are also fairly common, including shortness of breath, chest pain, and chest heaviness. Delta’s additional tools are designed to help crew members more accurately determine the source of these symptoms and decide whether or not the plane needs to be diverted.
And while these new gadgets are great news for people experiencing medical distress on an airplane, some of these emergencies can be prevented by passengers exercising a little caution, and not sabotaging their own safety, Dr. Ting says. If you want to know how to stay healthy while flying, here he shares five things he would never do on a flight, no matter how long (or short) the trip.

When her crops failed and her parched goats died, Hirsiyo Mohamed left her home in southwestern Somalia, carrying and coaxing three of her eight children on the long walk across a bare and dusty landscape in temperatures as high as 100 degrees.
Along the way, her 3½-year-old son, Adan, tugged at her robe, begging for food and water. But there was none to give, she said. “We buried him and kept walking.”
They reached an aid camp in the town of Doolow after four days, but her malnourished 8-year-old daughter, Habiba, soon contracted whooping cough and died, she said. Sitting in her makeshift tent last month, holding her 2½-year-old daughter, Maryam, in her lap, she said, “This drought has finished us.”
The worst drought in four decades is imperiling lives across the Horn of Africa, with up to 20 million people in Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia facing the risk of starvation by the end of this year, according to the World Food Program.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is exacerbating the situation, cutting off most of the wheat imports that Somalia depends on and sharply increasing the prices of fuel, food, and fertilizer.
The threat of hunger across Africa is so dire that last week the head of the African Union, President Macky Sall of Senegal, appealed to President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia to lift the blockade on exports of Ukrainian grain and fertilizer — even as American diplomats warned of Russian efforts to sell stolen Ukrainian wheat to African nations.
The most devastating crisis is unfolding in Somalia, where about seven million of the country’s estimated 16 million people face acute food shortages. Since January, at least 448 children have died from severe acute malnutrition, according to a database managed by UNICEF.

When the subject of climate change is a catastrophe in itself, it becomes incredibly easy to catastrophize the fate of the planet. Alarming news headlines, the increased frequency of natural disasters, and politicians’ failure to promote genuine solutions may lead some to believe in an inevitable future in which extreme temperatures and weather events are constant and currently populated parts of the globe are uninhabitable. It’s important not to turn a blind eye to the effects of climate change, but to view these events realistically rather than project future probabilities as fact.
When we catastrophize — or think of the worst-case outcome — our body internalizes our stressful thoughts, whether they’re based in reality or not, says Thomas Doherty, a licensed psychologist who specializes in environmental approaches to mental health. “That creates a positive feedback loop of more stress, more catastrophizing, which then inhibits my performance,” he says, “which, of course, makes me less and less empowered. We have to be careful about that. Realistic thinking about a catastrophe is a different thing. We have to build our capacity to think about catastrophes.”
To help you walk this line between staying in touch with reality and not succumbing to despair, climate-aware therapists offer their advice, from accepting nuance to finding strength in community.
Accept reality — and the feelings that come with it
Climate catastrophizing often begins when thinking about a very real event, be it a flood halfway around the world or threats to wildlife in your town. These are valid concerns that bring about reasonable emotions, Doherty says.
Instead of getting caught up in what could happen in the future, face the grief, the anger, or the frustration of what has already occurred, says Maia Kiley, a licensed marriage and family therapist who provides climate-aware therapy. Acknowledge the effects of climate change you’ve already witnessed — maybe it was a drought that impacted your town. Let yourself experience whatever emotions surface. However, don’t let the sadness overcome you or deny your feelings. Use it as motivation to contribute to changing the future. “It’s important for people to face a certain amount of reality,” Kiley says, “and then also to see that the story is still being written and they do have power.”
