Argonne licenses Anti-Jet-Lag-Diet software to online company
ARGONNE, Ill. (Feb. 20, 2004) The Anti-Jet-Lag Diet, developed
by the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory, is now
officially online. Argonne-developed software that computes individualized
diet plans to help travelers avoid jet lag has been licensed exclusively
to AntiJetLagDiet.com LLC.
The software, which is available for public use online at www.AntiJetLagDiet.com,
is based on the famous Anti-Jet-Lag Diet, developed at Argonne and used
to avoid jet lag by hundreds of thousands of travelers over the last
20 years.
Research shows that travelers who use the Anti-Jet-Lag Diet are seven
times less likely to experience jet lag when traveling east and 16 times
less likely when traveling west.
The free online information expands on older, publicly available versions
of the Anti-Jet-Lag Diet by providing a full, frequently-asked-questions
page that includes detailed information about food choices, caffeine
use and the Anti-Jet-Lag Diet's origin and history.
For a small fee, the online software will calculate a detailed, easy-to-follow
Anti-Jet-Lag-Diet plan tailored to an individual traveler's itinerary.
The tailored Anti-Jet-Lag-Diet plan calculates time differences between
departure and destination cities and specifies key meal times to help
travelers experience more enjoyable vacations and productive business
trips, free from the debilitating fatigue and sleepiness associated with
jet lag.
A study published in the medical journal Military Medicine proved the
effectiveness of the Anti-Jet-Lag Diet: In a test involving 186 National
Guard troops flying across nine time zones, soldiers who used the Anti-Jet-Lag
Diet flying east were 7.5 times less likely to experience jet lag. On
the return trip west, soldiers who used the Anti-Jet-Lag Diet were 16.2
times less likely to have jet-lag. The study can be read online at www.AntiJetLagDiet.com/docs/mmarticle.pdf (1.6
MB PDF file).
Anyone traveling across three or more time zones can use the Anti-Jet-Lag
Diet plan to eliminate or reduce jet lag feelings of irritability,
insomnia, indigestion and general disorientation that occur when the
body's inner clock is out of synchronization with time cues it receives
from the environment. Time cues include meal times, sunrise and sunset,
and daily cycles of rest and activity.
The Anti-Jet-Lag Diet uses nature's time cues to help the body adjust
quickly to a new time zone.
Hundreds of thousands of travelers have requested copies of the Anti-Jet-Lag
Diet from Argonne over the years. Examples include President Ronald Reagan,
the U.S. Army and Navy, the U.S. Secret Service, the Central Intelligence
Agency, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra,
the World Bank, the Federal Reserve System, the Canadian National Swim
Team, and dozens of corporations, scout groups, church groups and other
travelers.
