1. Would you like to find out what those-in-the-know have to say about jetlag? The
information in the article below comes straight from well-informed experts with special
knowledge about jetlag.
Sometimes the most important aspects of a subject are not immediately obvious. Keep
reading to get the complete picture.
Jetlag has been a problem for air travelers ever since air flight was invented. Our bodies
are creatures of habit and once we have adjusted to a specific time zone, they don't like
things to change.
When we do disrupt our circadian rhythms or biological clock to the layperson, we
experience jetlag. Depending on how far we have traveled, in which direction and what
shape our body is in, we will experience varying levels and degrees of jet lag symptoms.
Some common symptoms include insomnia, headaches, fatigue, anxiety and even
constipation. Now these are not things you associate with a relaxing vacation, so we
need to be able to stop, avoid, prevent or at least mitigate these jetlag effects. So, what
can you do next time you travel?
Well, you can start by staying hydrated. This is probably the single most important factor
when traveling. It is very common for you to become dehydrated while traveling and
when you do, you become more susceptible to diseases as well as jet lag symptoms.
Next, stay comfortable by wearing comfortable non-binding clothes and using a
supplement such as the one below to help you to rest and enjoy your flight and potentially
regulate your sleep patterns. Also remember that even more so when you are traveling,
you are what you eat. Stay away from all the greasy, fatty foods at the airport and stick
to the healthy and easily digested foods. High protein and low carbohydrates is a good
rule of thumb while traveling.
Finally, do a little planning. If you can regulate your sleeping cycles ahead of time by
trying to sleep more in line with your destinations time zone, then you will already have a
jump start on becoming acclimated.
Oh and don't forget to avoid alcohol and caffeine, these are both no-no's if you want to
stop jet lag.
So, there you have it, jetlag does not have to ruin your family vacation or business trip.
You can travel to China and back in perfect health, we just have to be smart about it.
