Stop Jet Lag From Wrecking Your Trip

Avoid Alcohol And Coffee

Coffee and alcohol are both diuretic substances, which means they encourage the body to expel water and salt that slowly dehydrates the body. Though the effects of both alcohol and caffeine are pleasant at the time, once they wear off the body will again need a chance to recover. These substances further alter sleeping habits which make it harder to adjust to new time zone, so avoid consuming too much. Of course, suggesting to refrain from indulging on vacation is a less than a palatable option, so for the duration of the flight just stick with water.

Outside Exercise

Depending on the kind of vacationer, there can be a lot of exertion on trips so being prepared for that is important. One of the best ways to start banishing jet lag is to go outside and get moving. Getting outdoors also gives the opportunity to go sightseeing, and exposure to sunlight and movement will help get your body in tune with the time change and make sleeping when desired more manageable.
