When you travel, whether for business or pleasure, the trip can all too often be dampened by jet lag for the first few days. It can leave you feeling run down and lacking energy, and might make you unable to make the most out of your time away. We want to share our tips for how to combat jet lag before, during and after your flight, so that you can concentrate on enjoying your trip.
What is jet lag and what causes it?
Jet lag is a temporary condition that occurs when your sleep pattern is disrupted, usually by flying across multiple time zones.
Our bodies have an internal clock called the circadian rhythm, which tells us when to go to sleep based on the hours of light and darkness where we live. When you go on holiday somewhere far away, your body is not used to the new routine and can struggle to function at its best.
It usually takes around a day to recover for each time zone crossed, and is usually worse when travelling West to East, when you ‘lose’ hours. The good news is that jet lag is only temporary, and the symptoms can be lessened by taking precautions.
Jet lag symptoms
The main symptom of jet lag is fatigue due to your sleep schedule being changed. This can lead to a loss in concentration, a dip in mood and mild insomnia.
Another symptom of jet lag is gastrointestinal problems such as bloating, indigestion and diarrhoea, as your body won’t be used to your new meal times.
How to avoid jet lag
Unfortunately, at the moment jet lag can’t be prevented completely, but you can make it easier to handle by doing the following.
Before your flight
✅ Get plenty of rest in the days before.
✅ Try to gradually alter your waking hours to match those of your destination. For example, if you’re flying to somewhere five hours behind, go to bed a bit earlier each night and wake up a bit earlier each morning.
✅ If it’s a really long flight, consider splitting the trip up when booking, Could you spend a couple of nights somewhere halfway to your destination?
❌ Try to limit the amount of alcohol and caffeine you consume, and avoid eating huge meals and spending a lot of time looking at screens.
During your flight
✅ Drink plenty of water – we recommend a litre every few hours.
✅ Try to get some sleep if it’s night time where you’re headed.
✅ Make sure to stretch and move around at regular intervals.
❓ Some people like taking melatonin supplements to help regulate their circadian rhythms, but there’s not sufficient scientific evidence to say they work. Ask your doctor before taking them.
❌ However tempting, try to avoid overindulging on the in-flight beverages – a hangover will only make jet lag worse.
At your destination
✅ Adjust to the new time zone as soon as possible.
✅ Set your alarm to avoid oversleeping in the morning.
✅ Take a hot bath before you go to bed to relax your body and mind and encourage sleepiness.
❌ Don’t sleep during the day – go for a walk instead. The natural light will help your body to adapt more quickly.

What is Vitamin D good for?
Protects against illness
Rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, hypertension, multiple sclerosis, autism, asthma, osteoporosis – are just some of the health problems that vitamin D can help prevent or alleviate the symptoms of.
Promotes healthy bones and teeth
Vitamin D plays an important role in the absorption and regulation of calcium and phosphorus, which are vital for healthy bones. It’s important for the normal growth and development of bones and teeth.
Vitamin D deficiency in children can cause rickets, which leads to a severely bowlegged appearance due to the softening of the bones. In adults, vitamin D deficiency manifests as osteomalacia or softening of the bones. Osteomalacia results in poor bone density and muscular weakness.
Support the immune system
Vitamin C is often credited with supporting the immune system, but vitamin D also plays an important role. Your immune system is there to help you combat infectious bacteria and it’s important to maintain your immune system to avoid viral infections.
One of the main functions of vitamin D is to help activate T cells, aka the “killer cells” in the body. T cells actually detect and destroy foreign pathogens — like viruses.
Vitamin D deficiency has also been associated with a higher susceptibility to infections like flu.
Improves muscle function
A new study suggests that vitamin D may also improve muscle strength. A study led by the University of Birmingham has found that increased levels of vitamin D may be vital for the performance of muscle tissues. This vitamin is essential for the bones to properly absorb calcium and to reduce the formation of body fat.

What are the Effects of Vitamin D deficiency?
Muscle aches or weakness
If you’re aching for longer after a workout or it hurts to get up off of the sofa then you could be lacking in vitamin D. The vitamin D receptor is found in nerve cells called nociceptors. These are the cells that sense pain in the body. Research indicates that the vitamin has a protective anti-inflammatory effect.
Some studies have shown that there is a link between muscle pain and low levels of vitamins. A study published in Pain Medicine found that 71% of people with chronic pain were found to have a vitamin D deficiency.
Mood changes or depression
Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to depression in older adults. Researchers analysed the role vitamin D has on people in their older years and found that 65% of those who showed signs of depression also had low levels of the vitamin.
Having low energy levels can also make you feel down in the dumps and this is also caused by vitamin D deficiencies.

Can lack of Vitamin D cause hair loss?
While stress is one of the main factors in hair loss, it has also been found that a lack of vitamin D could also be a contributing factor.
Low vitamin D levels have been linked to conditions such as alopecia and those with more severe hair loss have previously been found to have low levels of vitamin D.

Can lack of Vitamin D cause Fatigue?
Let’s face it, we’re all tired. But why we’re feeling tired and worn out might be for a range of reasons. Though you can feel tired and worn out for various reasons, low levels of vitamin D could be one of them. Vitamin D is vital to bone health and an insufficient amount can cause bone and muscle weakness, which can lead to fatigue.
A large observational study looked at the relationship between vitamin D and fatigue in young women. The study found women with blood levels lower than 20 ng/ml or 21-29 ng/ml were more likely to complain of fatigue than those with blood levels over 30 ng/ml.
