Travelling on plane fatigues your body (even a 4-5 hours ride!). How to beat it? 
Dr Dee Dee in The Land Down Under


Even a 4 to 5 hours flight can create havoc in your body and you end up reaching your destination looking tired. Not a good first impression, you want to make, especially if you are meeting your loved ones and working colleagues. 

- Because of the compressed pressure in cabins. It is de-hydrating. 
Solution: hydrate throughout flight. Limit caffein intake. Alcohol is not recommended. 

- The close proximity of people as passengers sit very close to each other triggers the " territorial beware syndrome". All of our "antennaes" are up naturally, when anyone encroaches into our  private body space's distance. It sets us on guard all the time. And having this feeling , though subconsciously, throughout our flight zaps our energy.
Solution: make friends or at least smile at your fellow passengers. It "loosens" us up.

- steal sleep whenever you can if you are on short flights, even if it means napping for 15 minutes. Because that sets your biorhythm to "relax and refresh" mode.

So arm yourself with the earplug and eyeshades an comfy travel  pillow.

You end up not being able to sleep, if your mind is racing with worries about home or when you are home sick.

Jet lag (aka "jetlag" or "jet-lag") is scientifically known as desynchronosis, dysrhythmia or dyschrony. It is a physiological condition as a result of changes to the circadian rhythm which might result from shift work, transmeridian travel or altered day length. 

Bon Voyage!

Real reasons why you must STRETCH?  When you stretch, your muscle lengthens. Muscle lengthening provides greater range of motion ( ROM), which is important to  individuals who have decreased ROM due to injury, a sedentary lifestyle or aging. Increased flexibility will also decrease our chances of injury and helps to enhance sports performance. A well-stretched muscle helps you in the process of recovery after exercise, ridding you of excessive muscle soreness. It also decreases your risk of injury as your muscle and surrounding areas of the muscles become supple and flexible.  Perform Full Body 12 stretches at least 2 times per day, breathing gently throughout.  Do not hold your breath while stretching.  The 12 Stretches is part of the scientific research  by Dr Dee Dee, as covered in this media coverage MORE Benefits of Stretching   - increases  flexibility ,  - for rehabilitation , - increases circulation - blood flow to the muscle increases after a lon
