Anti-Jet-Lag Diet — add one

The Anti-Jet-Lag Diet has helped hundreds of thousands of travelers avoid jet lag 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 west and 16 times less likely when traveling east.
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.
The online software will calculate a detailed, easy-to-follow Anti-Jet-Lag-Diet plan
tailored to an individual traveler's itinerary, for a small fee. 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 west were 7.5 times less likely to
experience jet lag. On the return trip east, 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

Anti-Jet-Lag Diet — add two

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.
