Several sources have claimed tomato juice can prevent you from getting DVT (deep vein thrombosis), and it is less likely to cause jet lag than caffeinated drinks. ", "The popularity of tomato juice on planes may be due to a number of factors. First, some foods taste better on a plane. Secondly, many planes do not serve food, so tomato juice, being more like a food than other drinks, may stop people feeling hungry. Finally, tomato juice may have health benefits as apparently it helps prevent deep vein thrombosis and it does not make jet lag worse." ] ]
