Changi Airport (Jewel Changi Airport)
We all know that.
You arrive at the airport long before the flight, as recommended by the airlines, and find yourself with extra free time, which you sometimes also use to eat or buy "food on the go".
We do this especially for flights where no food is served, but not only.
The tourism website Your Mileage May Vary states that you will find quite a few worthy foods at the airport, but next to them - even those that are highly recommended to avoid prior to the flight.

Discover not salty foods
Certain foods, especially those that belong to the fast food category (sausages, chicken nuggets, spicy sauces, nachos, French fries, sandwiches with processed meat and more) will be quite tasty, but by nature they have plenty of salt.
Salt tends to "cling" to fluids so when you consume salt, it will cause fluids to be absorbed into your body.
During the flight, the result can be swollen and painful ankles.
On top of that, salt tends to make us thirsty, and so we will drink more than usual.
When flying, the result will be more walking to the bathroom, thus interfering with other passengers, especially if we are sitting in the middle seat or the one next to the window.

Avoid fragrant food (and chewing gum)
Let's face it: there's something quite selfish about bringing you on a particularly fragrant food plane.
No one wants to smell the tuna sandwich or curry sauce you just bought at the airport.
This type of food is best consumed when you are alone.
And speaking of the flight time itself - avoid chewing gum in the air as much as possible.
The reason: when you chew gum, you open your mouth more, thus also swallowing air.
In the meantime, because of the air pressure in the cabin, you may suffer from overeating.
This may sound like an urban legend, but a brief Google search will bring you the full physiological answers.
This phenomenon even has a name: Europagia (Euro-air, phagia-swallowing).

And bet on fancy restaurants
Without offending any chef or other, it is highly recommended to give up fancy restaurants at airports.
Instead, stay close to everything that is familiar, known and simple.
It also has an element of time - in these restaurants you know when you are ordering, but not when you will receive the dish - a critical matter when there is time pressure.
In short, a juicy crunch in a familiar food chain will do the job well and safely.
On the other hand, it is advisable to say no also to certain types of pre-prepared foods, such as salads in packaging.
Unless you saw them really ready and packed right now, chances are they waited a long time outside until you met them.
Similarly, even sandwiches pre-wrapped at an unknown time will be out of bounds.
Stay close to everything that is familiar, known and simple.

Bye to the buffet
For your safety, bet on a visit to the buffet restaurants at the airport.
This is a paradise for bacteria.
As is well known, airports are crowded spaces.
You do not know who came out of the bathroom and touched the food in front of you, who coughed at him and who sneezed next to him.
And we have not yet spoken of liquid children passing by the buffet and touching food with their hands.
In this regard, it is advisable to also avoid foods that you are not familiar with or those that may cause you problems, due to your personal sensitivity to that food.
For example, fatty foods, fried or those that cause you gas or heartburn.
Before you board the plane, these are the last things you need.
