As I prepared for a long flight home from Los Angeles earlier this week, I knew I was going to be jumping right back in to a busy schedule upon my return. To help combat the inevitable jetlag from traveling from one side of the world to another, I prepared my body and mind. So far, these tips have been doing the trick! I feel calm and awake, and the transition has been quite smooth. Give these a try during your next big journey!
-
Drink plenty of water throughout the flight – I add 2g vitamin C powder + magnesium powder.
-
Avoid alcohol pre-flight and on the flight.
-
Avoid salty foods before, during and after the flight.
-
Pack healthy snacks to prevent yourself falling for unhealthy options – think raw nuts, bliss balls, seaweed and veggie sticks.
-
Prep a green wholefood powder when you arrive home. I’ve been using Nature’s Way green powder.
-
Take a walk in the fresh air as soon as you can upon returning home.
-
Start up your yoga practice again as soon as possible.
-
Use lavender oil on your temples to calm the nervous system.
-
Sip chamomile tea at night.
-
Take homeopathic melatonin two hours before bed to help adjust your internal clock.
