Feel good food, glowing skin and smarter choices before you fly

Heathrow
Beauty 2025, Food and drink,
A few smart choices before you board can make a real difference to how you feel, from energy levels and digestion to circulation and skin. Whether you’re flying for work, off on holiday or heading home, Heathrow makes it easy to eat well, move more and arrive feeling your best.
Here’s how to build a feel-good routine while you’re at the airport – no supplements or sleep masks required.


Hydrate smarter

Water’s essential – but so is what you eat

You’ll find free water refill points across all terminals, but hydration doesn’t stop here. Foods rich in potassium, fibre and water content help your body absorb and hold onto fluids – ideal for avoiding that dry, sluggish feeling mid-air.

Eat for glow, not just go

Balanced meals, better mood, brighter skin

Look for dishes with lean protein, healthy fats and plant diversity. Antioxidants and fibre help support your skin, digestion and immune system – especially helpful when you’re travelling.

Keep blood sugar steady

Energy dips? Not on our watch

Meals that combine complex carbs, protein and healthy fats help stabilise energy, mood and skin. Great before a long flight or after a long queue.

Gut health on the go

Support your digestion – and your skin will thank you

Fermented foods, fibre and colourful veg all help keep your microbiome in check. You’ll find more of them on menus across the terminals than you might expect.

Don’t just sit there

Movement = circulation, calm and a bit more headspace

Even gentle walking, stretching or choosing the stairs over the lift can help reduce fluid retention and support your lymphatic system. You don’t need a full workout - just a bit of pre-boarding movement can help you feel better in the air.
