Flight Recovery / Jet Lag Prevention
Travel and Flying can negatively affect performance. Follow the tips below to minimize the negative effects of flying and long travel trips in the car / bus.
Stiff / Sore Legs:
Get the blood flowing! Take a 15 minute walk, go for an easy jog or hop on a stationary bike in the hotel gym, then spend a few minutes stretching and loosening up. This is ideally done within a few hours of the flight.
Jet Leg / Sleep Cycle Dysfunction:
Get on a normal sleep cycle! If you change time zones during your travel this is especially important. You want to reestablish a normal sleep cycle in your new location as soon as possible. Go to sleep and wake up and 'normal' times to avoid Jet Lag and being tired / lacking energy all trip.
Reenergize:
Travel has a tendency to leave us groggy and tired for a few hours to a few days. Eating healthy, carb type foods can offset this. It is important to stick to a healthy, regular eating cycle when you travel. Eat a healthy, hearty breakfast each day and consider a cup of coffee in the AM to give you a bit of extra energy.
Boost your immune system:
Take some vitamin C (Emergen-C or Airborne) before and after your flight and consider a saline solution nasal spray to clear your nasal cavities of dust and germ particles that can build up while traveling in busy terminals and flights.
