Want to Overcome Jet Lag More Quickly? Use Your Hot Tub!

1. SOAK TO RE-HYDRATE. The air on planes has a very low humidity, which may contribute to that tired feeling and ultimately lead to jet lag. You also experience dehydration particularly on your skin, which can cause discomfort, itchiness and also wrinkles. Soaking in the hot tub is a way to feel re-hydrated, but you’ll have to drink water to actually replace the moisture lost during a long flight.

4. DRINK PLENTY OF WATER

Drink lots of bottled water during the flight. Avoid alcohol and coffee before or during the flight as both of these drinks are dehydrating (and cause you to walk up the aisle in search of the restrooms more often).

5.

EAT LIGHTLY. Avoid food that is high in fat and salt (most airline meals). Try to have a light meal in-flight and stave off hunger pangs with food that is high in carbohydrates such as fresh fruit and fruit juice. Continue to drink lots of fresh water for at least two days after your flight.

6. USE THE HOT TUB TWICE A DAY THE WEEK AFTER YOU RETURN:

A soak for 10-15 minutes in the morning and 20-24 minutes at night every day in the week following your flight will help you overcome jet lag more quickly.
