You finally got off the plane after a 20-hour long flight or red-eye, ready to take on the day … but your body thinks it’s 2 am. Jet lag is an all too common experience, and a very frustrating one. The good news is, jet lag can be cured naturally. Here are a few all-natural solutions that might work much better than Advil.

Choose Tea Over Coffee

Jet lag occurs because travel throws off our circadian rhythm. Many people assume that large amounts of caffeine will help them keep going, but that is incorrect. Health experts recommend opting for decaffeinated tea, which will soothe your body and keep you hydrated.

Bask in the Sun

Sunlight is an effective way to adjust your circadian rhythm. If you traveled west, get out in the morning light and try to avoid afternoon sun; if you traveled east, do the reverse.

Move Around

Scientific research has proven that exercise can restore your body’s circadian rhythm to order. Time to hit your hotel’s gym or go for a brisk walk!

Try a Green Juice

A surefire way to beat jet lag is to nourish your body properly. And nothing is more nutrient-dense than a refreshing green smoothie!
