5 Ways To Beat Jet Lag This Summer

5 Ways To Beat Jet Lag This Summer

Jet lag is caused by sudden change in routine and adjusting to a different time zone. Since the holiday season is here be ready to experience jet lag. Jet lag can be a difficult thing to combat when you arrive at your destination, and because we’re out to have fun, we might as well look for ways to cope with the post flight symptoms.

1. Learn To Exercise

The secret to getting straight into the time zone is to exercise just after arrival, this will help boost your energy and helps you to get back into the routine quickly. This can be a difficult task especially due to the tiredness we experience after flying but if you can push through it you’ll recover quicker.

2. Take Magnesium

Also known as milk of magnesia, to beat the jet lag woes which include lack of sleep, constipation, and muscle ache you’re best advised to drink magnesium just before flight and soon as your plane lands. This will help calm your nervous system and improve your overall sleep.

3. Pack A Sheet Mask

The use of sheet mask just before and after landing will help your skin gain back the moisture lost during flight. Sheet masks are known to hold a minimum of 1 week worth of moisture – meaning using it will only help you gain at least 7 days worth of moisture into your skin. While on sheet mask, it’s also advisable to carry out your skincare routine just before boarding the plane – your skin will thank you for the TLC.

4. Go For A Walk

Jet lag can cause you to be psychedelic, so to help yourself have better control go for a walk barefooted on grass and allow your body to gently ease into the new routine and time zone. Avoid overstimulation but gently ease in.

5. Keep Hydrated

Hydration is the key to beating jet lag and when it comes to hydration do not wait until you’re dry thirsty before drinking water but continuous sip throughout the day is advisable. A good cold shower after landing is another tip to hold onto.
