Jet-Lag Is Given the Swerve by Adjusting Meal Times on the Ground, Find Researchers

jet lagCabin crews are most likely group to suffer from jet lag due to the frequent and rapid travel across different time zones. Besides jet lag, they will suffer from other symptoms such as impaired cognitive performance, fatigue and moodiness.

Key takeaways:

·  A new study reveals that jet lag in long haul cabin crew can be eased by altering and regulating meal times during their days off.

·  Further research is required to find out if the timing and the content of meals could have positive results in alleviating jet lag.
