JET LAG TREATMENTS |

Exposure
to bright morning sunlight cures jet lag after a few days in most
people. A few will have prolonged sleep phase difficulties. For
these, there is one curious treatment that has achieved success. By
forcing one's self into a 27 hour day, complete with the appropriate
stimulation from bright light, all the errant chemical cycles will
be able to catch up during one week of recycling.
Alternative treatment
Drinking a lot of water to prevent dehydration can limit or prevent
jet lag. As much movement as possible during a flight helps keep
circulation moving nutrients and waste through the body and aids in
elimination. All antioxidants help to decrease the effects of jet
lag. Extra doses of vitamins A, C, and E, as well as zinc and
selenium, two days before and two days after a flight help to
alleviate jet lag. Homeopathic remedies can assist in the transition
of time and space. For individuals who are biochemically deficient
in melatonin, increased intake of this hormone is believed to help
combat jet lag. |
