Oh! My God , another asignment far away.Another hours lost? Is that the way you think, while travelling abroad, across seven seas? Well while travelling to a new destination, keep few pointers handy, maybe they will be of some help to you.


  • GET SOME SLEEP
  • A frequent traveller's best friend is a set of soft earplugs, neck pillowand eye covers. Lack

of sleep can make you moody, angry, and more vulnerrable to illness and stress.

  • AVOID ALCOHOL

Avoid alcohol or drinks with caffeine as it increase dehydration.

  • WORK THAT BODY

If your hotel has a good Gym, make use of it. Go for tht swim you really require. Or atleast

take that walk you really want. Everybody knows that physical activity is the most

effective stress buster. It will improve your problemsolving ability so that you can cope

better with challenges and opportunities. Even while flying, stretch your back, arm, leg muscles, when the seat belt is turned off . Squeeze a rubber ball or a pair of socks to stimulate good circulation and prevent jetlags.

  • EAT SENSIBLY

Eat lightly but strategically. High protein meals are likely to keep you awake, foods high in carbohydrates promote sleep, and fatty foods may make you feel sluggish.

  • TAKE NOTES

Writing down your feelings in a diary or on a blog,may help relieve stress.This shows

improved mental health.

  • P.S

According to latest research, ( Argentine researchers, in Proceedings of the

National Academy of Science) Adult male hamsters given Viagra, also called sildenafil,

recovered from jetlag up to 50% faster than hamsters that were not given it.
