You Don't Have to Suffer From Jet-Lag!
"NO JET-LAG was our best investment, don't leave home without it!"
Lynne & Win Brown, Powell River
Click here for tips on avoiding jet lag
Jet-lag is one of the most common problems of modern jet travel affecting as many as 94% of long distance travelers. Some of the symptoms include:
- Fatigue
- Disorientation
- Lack of concentration and motivation
- Dehydration
- Discomfort of legs and feet
Medical evidence also shows that jet lag makes travelers more susceptible to colds, flu and stomach upsets.
The greatest cause of jet lag is rapid transit across world time zones. The more time zones we cross, the greater the disruption of our body clock (which governs our temperature, heartbeat, blood pressure and physiological patterns) resulting in disorientation and mental and physical fatigue.
Sitting still for long periods of time in flight causes discomfort and possible swelling of the legs and feet (called Deep Vein Thrombosis). The dry atmosphere in airliner cabins can cause body dehydration. Altitude and pressure changes at each landing and takeoff also upset body systems, and although airliner cabins are pressurized, these changes are significant causes of jet lag.
No Jet-Lag will help you arrive at your destination feeling less fatigued and less susceptible to travel problems.
