Got jet lag?

Do you travel frequently? If so -- and your travels take you far -- you've probably encountered jet lag before. This phenomenon occurs as the body tries to continuously adjust its rhythms to changing times zones and activities.

What can you do about it? Not much, as the body can't cope with sudden changes in time zones like a win-up clock. The only way to naturally beat jet lag is to build in time before and time after a long flight to allow your body to adjust to its new expectations.

Some common symptoms of jet lag to watch out for include:

* Insomnia at night
* Feeling sleepy during the day
* Loss of appetite
* Upset stomach
* Moodiness
* Inability to concentrate or focus
