If you’re an avid traveller and frequent flyer, you will be all too familiar with the word jet lag- a temporary sleep problem that can affect anyone who quickly travels across multiple time zones. What basically happens is that our body’s internal clock( circadian rhythm) stays in one time zone while we physically travel to another, which results in our bodies being out of sync with our body clock. Although there isn’t much that can be done to avoid jet lag, we’ve uncovered the secret to helping you manage the symptoms like a pro.
Air travel leads to dehydration, draining the body of energy and amplifying existing jet lag symptoms. You’ve probably heard this before- there’s nothing like water, so hydrate before, during and after the flight.
However, research shows that Matcha, the superfood green tea trumps water as besides re-hydrating the body, the powerful antioxidants within matcha green tea help to reduce and even reverse the harmful process of oxidative stress caused by travel. In short, matcha helps to repair your body from the inside out. Simultaneously Japanese Matcha is great at helping one combat fatigue and exhaustion that often accompanies jet lag.
Another reason why Matcha is perfect to help beat jet lag is that it gives your body a steady energy boost that can last 3-6 hours. So if you’re looking to get your body’s rhythm back in sync on landing and don’t intend crashing the moment you reach your hotel room, Matcha is just what you need to give you a sense of calm alertness.
Tea Trunk’s Japanese Matcha Green tea is the natural, convenient and easy solution to help you beat jet lag. So don’t forget to pack some on your next trip. All you need to do is add a little Matcha powder to a bottle of water, give it a good shake and sip through the flight to feel its healing, hydrating and energising effects almost instantly.
