Is it possible to avoid grogginess after you fly across the country? Jet lag is very common when people take trips, but you don’t have to be confused by altering time zones or new cultures. In fact there are easy ways that you can adjust more easily.
Adjust early
If you’re flying across the country from coast-to-coast, which is about 3 to 4 hours, you can go to bed one hour earlier, three or four days leading up to your trip. This will help you adjust. As soon as you land in your new destination you will be on the same time zone and your body will feel more balanced.
Go for a massage
After you fly to a new place you can get a massage appointment right away. It’s a great way to balance the body and rub away all of the airplane kinks.
Used tinctures
Tinctures are a great way to destress and keep the body calm. When you’re flying you can use the tincture such as lavender in your water, which will help calm your nerves Lavender is a substance that can make you less groggy and decrease your stress level.
Avoid sugar drinks
During the long flight, it is important to keep drinking water because people get dehydrated when they fly. Avoid sugar drinks that will spike your blood sugar level and make you crash down. Sugar is also an addictive substance that will not sit well with your body as you fly across time zones.
Drink green tea
Green tea is a great remedy for long flights and being stuck in airports can take a toll, instead of drinking coffee or eating comfort foods drink a cup of green tea to calm irritability.
Freshen up
If you have a long layover make sure your toiletry bag is in your carry-on. Going to the restroom and splashing some water on your face. Brush your hair and brush your teeth. Having a mini makeover session will hope you feel a lot better.
Traveling with your toothbrush at hand will also help you keep a fresh breath because when you travel your breath can become stale from the change in air pressure and altitude. Bad breath is no one’s friend on an airplane.
“Packing a little travel kit with toiletries like toothbrush and a travel size toothpaste as well as breath mints will help you be ready when bad breath strikes,” says Doctor Nathan Austria, a Dentist in Portland OR.
