Among the manifestations experienced due to this state, there is fatigue, general discomfort, headache, irritability, apathy, among others. In order to avoid any of these ailments, here are our recommendations to avoid we recommend the following:
- Stay well hydrated during the flight and avoid consuming alcohol and caffeine.
- Do not overeat before, during, and after the flight, and make sure that the foods you eat are high in protein and low in fat.
- Try to sleep well before the trip to arrive rested on the flight. In case you’re flying east, try going to bed earlier than usual, and if you’re flying west, try going to bed later than usual.

- During the flight, change the clock time to the country you are flying to, and so you will gradually get used to the new time zone.
