Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Four ways to beat jet lag

Caption: Four ways to beat jet lag. Marianna Kilburn, a health advisor and qualified life coach at avogel.co.uk, has shared her tips for preventing jet lag. Get plenty of rest before your trip. In the lead up to your trip, try to get lots of rest. ”It's not exactly a secret but flying can be very stressful - you have to worry about boarding passes, checking in, getting through security and considering possible delays.” Marianna notes that these feelings can make you feel tired before you even arrive at your destination. ”Make sure you get a good night of rest before your flight!”. Avoid alcohol and caffeine. Drinking alcohol and coffee can make you feel sleepy after a few hours, so try to drink something hydrating instead. Adjust your circadian rhythm. In the days before you travel, try to synchronise your body with the time zone of your holiday destination. Spend time outside. Once you have arrived at your destination, spending time outdoors can help to "stimulate" your circadian rhythm. ”If you arrive early in the morning and want to stay awake to force your body to adjust, soaking up some vitamin D outdoors should help to stimulate your circadian rhythm.” "It's also been proven that sunlight can help to release mood-boosting hormones such as serotonin. So instead of barricading yourself in a hotel room, take a walk and explore your new surroundings.” THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
