beat jet lag
(Download printer-friendly, PDF version.)
ARGONNE, Ill. (May 16, 2008) – As the summer travel season begins, many vacation
and business travelers will beat jet lag with the Anti-Jet-Lag Diet developed
at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory.
A study published in 2002 in the medical journal Military Medicine found
that travelers who use the Argonne Anti-Jet-Lag Diet are seven times less likely
to experience jet lag when traveling west and 16 times less likely when traveling
east. A copy
of the study is online at AntiJetLagDiet.com.
"Anyone traveling across three or more time zones can use the Argonne
Anti-Jet-Lag Diet to eliminate or reduce jet lag," said Argonne 's Dave
Baurac. "The Argonne Anti-Jet-Lag Diet maintains our healthy cellular
rhythms by using the same natural time cues that nature uses, such as meal
contents and timing, light and dark cycles and daily activity cycles."
Jet lag symptoms include feelings of irritability, insomnia, indigestion and
general disorientation that occur when the body's inner clock is out of step
with environmental time cues like meal times, sunrise and sunset, and daily
cycles of rest and activity.
Free information about the Argonne Anti-Jet-Lag Diet and how to use it is
online at www.AntiJetLagDiet.com/faqs.asp.
Invented by Charles
Ehret, an Argonne biologist whose career was devoted to
the study of daily biological rhythms in a variety of organisms from paramecia
to mammals, the Anti-Jet-Lag Diet has helped hundreds of thousands of travelers
avoid jet lag.
Since 1982, Argonne has provided information about the Anti-Jet-Lag Diet to
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, travel
groups and individual travelers.
For a small fee, visitors to the AntiJetLagDiet.com Web
site can also use Argonne-developed software to calculate a detailed Anti-Jet-Lag
Diet plan tailored to their specific itinerary. Argonne has licensed the software,
written by Baurac, exclusively to AntiJetLagDiet.com, LLC.
