Travel Tips For Jet Lag




Jet lag is a problem that existed for decades. It affects 90% of passengers. Jet lag is essentially the disruption of our body clock that causes us to be temporarily disorientated. It also can be mentally & physically fatiguing. Sitting still for long periods of time in flight causes discomfort, and potentially swelling of the legs called thrombosis, or deep vein condition. Thrombosis can be hazardous. It causes small blood clots in the legs. Some of the problems with jet lag is the cabin atmosphere is dry compared to outside. This can cause dehydration. Altitude & pressure changes can cause fatigue on the body too. Some remedies you can do to reduce jet lag & deep vein (thrombosis) conditions are:

1) Start your trip well rested several days prior so you can start your trip full of energy.

2) Drink lots of water

3) Try to sleep on the airplane. Use eye shades, & ear plugs to create a better environment to sleep.

4) Wear comfortable clothes.

5) Limit alcohol drinks because it will dehydrate you.
