Air turbulence: That sudden stomach-drop feeling; why the body reacts before the brain

During flights, turbulence can create an unexpected sensation in the stomach as the body's balance system reacts instinctively. This quick reaction happens before the brain catches up with the airplane's movement, potentially leading to motion sickness and heightened stress. To ensure safety, it's essential to keep seat belts fastened and adhere to the crew's guidance. Gaining insight into this experience may alleviate fears associated with flying.
