Jet lag is the disruption of your circadian rhythm (your body clock) by the different time zones.
If you are flying off on holiday to a place with a different time zone prepare 3 days in advance:

  • 3 Days before: high protein breakfast and lunch such as bacon eggs sausage and steak and high carbohydrate dinner such as potatoes pasta or rice
  • 2 Days before: eat very light meals
  • 1 Day before: eat what you want
  • Departure day: as soon as you get on the plane adjust your watch to the time at your destination. Then make sure you eat meals at your normal time according to your watch. Drink plenty of water during your flight.
  • Stay awake during your flight if it is daytime at your destination and sleep on the plane if it is night-time at your destination.
  • If you arrive at your destination in the middle of the day don't go to sleep take a shower and go out and do something.
  • Fasting doesn't prevent jet lag.
