How to Beat Jet Lag with Your Coffee Time

Jet lag is an unfortunate reality of traveling.

However, your diet could be the key to powering through that exhaustion. Timing your first coffee correctly is imperative, if you’re going to adjust to the local time zone.

Caffeine in the afternoon will keep you up all night, so make sure if you have coffee, you do it at the local breakfast time.

Berries can also help your body adjust. They’re full of antioxidants that reduce inflammation.

Even if you’re exhausted from your flight, a bowl of strawberries can help reduce tired, puffy eyes. And when it’s time for bed in your new time zone, reach for a bowl of cherries. They contain melatonin, the body’s natural sleep hormone.
