Anyone who has traveled across several time zones on a flight is probably familiar with the ever-frustrating jet lag. However, scientists may have found a new way to fight that feeling: eating. Sounds awesome, right? Keep on reading to find out how food can help you get more energized.
What Causes Jet Lag?
European travelers may not get jet lag that often due to experiencing only a few hours of the time difference, but flying from the US to Asia, for example, is likely to provoke this dreaded feeling. Over the years, many have just accepted that you just have to wait for it to disappear. However, new research by scientists shows that there may be a way to get rid of it sooner. It looks like the secret to fighting jet lag is eating.
What causes jet lag is the innate biological clock in humans being thrown off. This clock, called the circadian rhythm, regulates when we get tired and when we’re more alert. Signs you may have jet lag are finding it hard to sleep at night or stay awake during the day, lower concentration, indigestion, nausea, changes in appetite, and more.
The Jet Lag Remedy
Now, you’re probably curious to know how eating can help. Scientists claim that having a single large meal, like what you’d typically have for dinner, is what you should go for first thing in the morning. Going for a walk in the sunshine may help, too, if the place you’ve traveled to is warm.
However, the older you get, the less likely it is for this tip to work for you, so you may just need to wait it out. So the next time you travel somewhere that you’ll deal with jet lag, enjoy a nice dinner-for-breakfast meal and get rid of that tired feeling more quickly.
