to prevent Jet Lag.
Orlando, FL, June 01, 2015 -- Golf Channel Morning Drive co-host Cara Robinson g
ets tips and techniques from Dr Ara on How to Deal with Jet Lag. Golfers who are
on the PGA Tour deal with a number of intangibles on a daily basis and while fl
ying. They are continually traveling, changing time zones, facing delays, and su
ffering from jet lag. And there is the 6p finish and 5a starts. Such quick turna
rounds take a toll on their bodies and recovery time. Nevermind the additional e
motional and mental fatigue of both winning and losing. Dr Ara talks about how j
et lag has a huge impact on the body. Jet lag has been described as physical and
mental tiredness from sleep disturbances felt by a person after a long flight a
cross several time zones. This causes a significant drop in performance. Jet lag
happens to Golfers whenever they fly.
Simply . Ara is the best at what he does.

Watch Dr Ara talk about exactly what golfers can do before, during and after the
ir flight so that jet lag doesn't affect your performance when you T off. Travel
ers can allow their body to recover so they aren't in a sleep deprived fog. Dr A
ra suggests to Cara:
BEFORE TAKEOFF
1. Don't change your sleeping habits before your trip to. Get a full night's sle
ep so you aren't traveling tired. Get in sync with the new time zone. Sleep norm
ally.
2. Two days before flying, boost your immune system with a daily dose of vitamin
D (5,000 milligrams) and vitamin C (1,000 milligrams).
3. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate, drink at least 1 liter of water before flying.
ON THE FLIGHT
1. Don't drink alcohol during the flight, it causes dehydration. Avoid sugary fo
od and drinks. Blood-sugar spikes increase inflammation and disturb sleep cycles
. Not being able to sleep prolongs recovery.
2. Drink plenty of water. Dehydration compounds the effects of jet lag. Hydratio
n is key for recovery from jet lag.
AFTER LANDING
1. Get a good night's sleep. Take a Benadryl or Valium when you go to sleep on
the first night of the trip.
2. Drink a liter of cold water with a squeezed lemon (skin included). This alkal
ine mixture helps rid the body of acidity and germs.
3. Exercise, but avoid a big workout. Try walking barefoot on grass or sand for
30 minutes to reduce lingering in-flight stress.
The first wealth is health and Ara has given me this time after time.
