4Dietician says digestive system shutting down during a flight has no scientific foundation

There is no doubt people get bored on a long flight and they indulge in food simply because they are being confined in a long steel tube and doing nothing. However, nutritionists have also contradicted Ms. Briggs’s claims. Registered dietitian Carolyn Pallister said, “Suggestions that your digestive system shuts down during a flight has no scientific foundation. By restricting yourself and not eating for long periods of time on a long flight you are likely to feel weak, shaky, and could even suffer from headaches and low mood.”

Many would buy Ms. Pallister’s point as there are plenty of people who binge on flights.
