As I prepared for the trip home from Los Angeles earlier this week, I knew that I was going to be jumping right back in to a busy schedule upon my return. In order 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 from 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 2 hours before bed to help adjust your internal clock.
