Elite athletes frequently travel vast distances, and former Olympic speed skating champion Marianne Timmer knows this all too well. Drawing from her extensive experience, she shares her expert strategies to minimize jet lag exclusively for Santé.
Marianne Timmer's Tips:
- Board your flight well-rested and stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. This significantly reduces jet lag's impact.
- A tired body suffers more, and stress worsens it. Avoid last-minute packing frenzy to arrive at your holiday relaxed and refreshed.
- At your destination, sync with local time immediately. Combat energy dips with fresh air and light movement.
- Your internal clock is disrupted, so opt for light, digestible meals in small portions initially. Focus on vegetables, fruit, and ample fluids to rehydrate quickly.
- For swollen feet, wear compression socks during the flight.
Bon voyage and enjoy your trip!
