A flight attendant has issued a strict warning to passengers travelling on holiday this summer.
Celina Bedding, an experienced cabin crew member, has urged travellers to steer clear of plane food altogether.
As alarming as that might sound, the flight attendant explains that this is because airline food tends to have high salt and sugar content.
She says: ‘Because of the cabin pressure we lose around 30 per cent of our taste buds.
‘So the companies that prepare food for the airlines add much more salt to it in order to have a nice flavour at 40,000 feet.’
And if you have to eat on the plane, there’s one option that should be top of your list.
Express.co.uk reports that Celina’s top recommendation on the plane is a salad or fruit salad.
She adds: ‘Make sure you drink plenty of water before, during and after a flight to hydrate yourself.’

But the flight attendant urges passengers to avoid tap water from the plane bathroom as she considers not suitable for drinking.
And if you’ve got an upcoming long haul flight on the horizon, a doctor has recently shared a warning about bloating in the air.
‘On long-haul flights, it’s important to be aware of “aeroplane bloat”, categorised as a build-up of gas in the intestines and stomach, caused by a combination of factors,’ explains Dr Donald Grant, senior clinical advisor at The Independent Pharmacy.
‘At 30,000 feet, plane pressure drops dramatically, causing the gas in our guts to expand. In turn, this causes bloating and discomfort, which can lead to aeroplane bloat.
‘It’s kind of like how crisp packets expand while in the air – the same effect is happening to our guts!’
Dr Grant has urged people to drink plenty of water and avoid gassy foods to escape plane bloating this summer.
