Flying – How about some dried cherries?
A wonderful customer passed this NYTimes Article to us: Dried Cherries May Help Travelers Fight Jet Lag
“Tart cherries contain melatonin, which is then absorbed into the blood stream influencing your biological clock.”
Turns out that dried cherries have even more melatonin than fresh cherries. When flying east, eat a handful 30 minutes before going to bed and continue to do so at the destination for the same number of nights as the change in hours. When flying west, eat a handful the night before the departure and then continue to do so back home.
