Jetlag

For most people who have to travel a lot, you will certainly stumble into certain periods where you have to adjust to the time zone of a certain country. For some countries like traveling from the Philippines to the United States, there are varying differences in time like 12 hours of difference.

In these cases, you will often find yourself supposedly sleeping at their peak time to which you have to adjust because your body will not be able to take it for sure. However, one element in all of this can make a difference and this has to do with the food and meals that this voyager would take in between the time shifts.

“A period of fasting with no food at all for about 16 hours is enough to engage this new clock,” says Prof Saper, who did the work with Drs Patrick Fuller and Jun Lu.

“So, in this case, simply avoiding any food on the plane, and then eating as soon as you land, should help you to adjust - and avoid some of the uncomfortable feelings of jet lag.”

The next time you have to adjust your sleeping period, consider the meals you take. A small fasting sacrifice can really make a difference.
