2Melissa Biggs Bradley says digestive system completely shuts down while on plane

The founder of the luxury firm Indagare, Melissa Biggs Bradley, shared the secrets of not eating while travelling in the airplane. "Ten years ago, it was [a cabin crew member] on Singapore Airlines on what was, at the time, the longest flight in the world (17 hours from Singapore to New York). She told me that her tried-and-true trick was not eating in-flight. Basically, at super high altitude, your digestive system shuts down completely. Someone said to me it’s like being under anesthesia. So when you get off the plane, everything restarts and [your digestive system] has so much more work to do and so it makes you more tired." she said.
