Make plane travel more comfortable

(HealthDay News) -- Jet lag can dampen the fun of any trip when your body struggles to adjust to a new time zone.

The American Academy of Family Physicians offers these suggestions to prevent jet lag:

Start your trip well-rested. Make sure you get plenty of sleep before your trip.
Avoid alcohol and overeating.
Eat healthy meals.
Get as much exercise as possible.
Avoid sleep medications. If you use them, don't take them for more than a few days.
Follow the schedule of the time zone you are in. Eat meals and go to bed when the locals do.
